    Commerce Layer is a great choice, if you want to build a tailored system. The flexible API allows to build all kinds of applications around commerce, but you also need to deep dive a bit into the structure. If you want to set up a simple store and sell a few SKUs, you're probably rather a Shopify customer, but if you want to build great customer experiences and tailer the software to your business, Commerce Layer is a very good choice.

    Cons
    Commerce Layer
    • Specific POS features are on the roadmap (we're using now a market per store, which works but creates some issues with it)
    • Payment flexibility (as we're using it fully as a POS solution)
    • Flexibility in order editing after approval of order

    Usability
    Commerce Layer
    The new apps are great, but in our case, we built so specific functionalities around it that we built our own admin tool. Based on the complexity (especially for after sales processes), no off the shelf tool would have been able to do this.

    The Commerce Layer data model is very flexible, which also creates a certain complexity. It's important to understand how the data model works and how relationships between them are built.
