Manage commerce stores

Advanced license required

Features described on this page require the Xperience by Kentico Advanced license tier.

The digital commerce feature helps you build simple online stores where you can sell physical or digital products. It gives you the basic tools, data structure, and actions you need to manage your shop and process orders.

Manage products

Due to the customizability of the Xperience by Kentico commerce feature, how you manage products depends on the implementation of your product catalog.

The following image shows a sample listing of products hosted in the content hub from the Dancing Goat sample site:
