What is an E-Commerce Platform (ECP)?

An ECP is the operating system for online retail. It combines storefront theming, product information management (PIM), pricing and promotions, cart & checkout, payments, tax, shipping, order management (OMS), customer accounts (CRM-lite), analytics, and integrations. Monthly Basis ECP unifies these capabilities so you can focus on growth — not glue code.
