Commerce Layer

Commerce Layer sells cloud-based commerce infrastructure to businesses on a subscription and usage basis. It creates value by abstracting key commerce functions such as checkout, order management, promotions, metrics, and provisioning into APIs and add-on modules that can be integrated into custom commerce stacks. This lets customers run multi-market and omnichannel operations without relying on a monolithic commerce platform or paying GMV-based platform fees.

Commerce Layer is a private Italian software company providing API-first commerce infrastructure for businesses running headless and multi-market commerce operations. Its product set includes checkout, order and inventory orchestration, promotion management, analytics, and provisioning APIs, allowing merchants and technical teams to embed commerce capabilities into websites, apps, and in-store environments.

The company makes money through enterprise SaaS and usage-based software pricing rather than taking a percentage of merchandise sales. Its direct customers are businesses such as merchants, e-commerce engineering teams, retail operations teams, merchandising teams, analysts, and platform administrators that need programmable commerce infrastructure across multiple markets, currencies, locations, and channels.
