About us

Shaping the future of commerce, your way

commercetools powers the commerce engines of the world’s leading enterprises. Built to meet the evolution of modern commerce, our platform is rooted in composable architecture — giving enterprises the agility to scale smarter, unify experiences, and adapt for an agentic future that’s already here.

commercetools About Us

Our Story The world changed. So we built a platform that keeps up – regardless of what comes next.

Commerce moves fast — but most platforms don’t. Rigid, outdated systems slow down innovation and limit growth.

We saw a better way. commercetools gives businesses the freedom to move at the speed of their customers. Our open, composable approach empowers you to focus on what’s next, not just maintain what exists.

Enterprises across industries — from retail to manufacturing to healthcare — trust commercetools to modernize infrastructure, unlock agility, and turn change into a competitive edge.

The future is unpredictable, but your ability to adapt shouldn't be. We built commercetools to give businesses the ultimate technical edge –– the ability to move fast, align with customers, and turn constant change into revenue.

Our purpose Reimagining enterprise commerce, from headless to agentic.

commercetools was founded to solve what legacy platforms couldn’t: giving enterprises the freedom to adapt, scale, and differentiate in real time. That conviction sparked the era of headless and composable commerce, and defined the infrastructure standard for true enterprise innovation. 

Now, unified and agentic commerce is here. But intelligent experiences can’t operate on outdated foundations. Composable is what makes this moment possible. It’s the architectural prerequisite for enterprises to move faster, build smarter, and win now and for decades to come

We didn’t pivot to meet this shift. We built for it.

commercetools About Us Tech Leaders

Our Technology Built for scale. Ready for intelligence. Proven in the enterprise.

There’s no shortcut to agility. commercetools gives you the composable foundation to scale intelligently and adapt in real time.

We created the first enterprise-grade platform built entirely on MACH® principles — cloud-native, modular, API-first, and agnostic by design.

That foundation is what lets you activate AI agents without replatforming. It’s how you unify every channel, region, and business model without tradeoffs. And it’s why the world’s most complex commerce organizations trust commercetools to scale smarter and adapt faster — no matter what comes next.
