Why OpenDXP E-Commerce Framework

The e-commerce environment has fundamentally changed and e-commerce projects often face new challenges like:

complex product structures: lots of data attributes, complex product relations, configurable product systems, different sources for products
complex pricing structures: product dependent price sources, tier pricing, pricing matrices, individual pricing rules, integration of remote pricing services
complex availability calculations
thousands customer groups with: customer group specific prices, customer group specific assortments
individual checkouts: individual integration of backend systems, integration of multi-channel processes into checkout workflow
individual design
highly agile projects with changing requirements: 'fail fast', fast changing environments and requirements
etc.

We think for these challenges a default shop system that pops out of a box, that has a fixed product data model, fixed workflows, a template based frontend and needs to be connected and integrated with other systems via interfaces is not the tool to go for.

We think for these challenges you need...

a framework for developers to build outstanding e-commerce solutions for customers,
with a native integration into OpenDXP,
with a component based architecture
and a strict separation between backend functionality and frontend presentation.

That is the idea behind the E-Commerce Framework of OpenDXP. Like OpenDXP itself, it is not a ready made system, it is a set of tools and functionality to help building e-commerce applications really fast and flexible.
