A Java ecommerce platform that's developer friendly

What do we mean by "developer friendly"? We designed our Java ecommerce platform in a way that it would be easy for developers to extend, customize, and integrate. Our solution is the best fit for enterprises that have a strong IT team, unique requirements, and the need to maintain internal control.

Elastic Path provides full access to source code for their Java ecommerce platform. The platform also includes many out-of-the-box features, APIs, integration tools, build scripts, test suite, and a development environment. These tools also support an agile development approach.

All Java, all the time
An ecommerce platform must first fit with your company’s stack. The Elastic Path ecommerce platform is based on open source Java technologies. Let’s see if any of these words bring as much joy to your hearts as they do to ours:

Spring Container Framework
Spring MVC Framework
Spring Security
Apache OpenJPA
SOLR Enterprise Search Server
Apache Velocity
Eclipse Rich Client Platform
JAX-WS & JAXB
Direct Web Remoting (AJAX)

With great power comes great responsibility
We give you source code. Unlike other large vendors (who will remain unnamed but have an affinity to acronyms), we are open. Your team will be working from the same blueprint we do. We don't hide anything from our customers. We want to be able to give you as much information as possible to find solutions to your problems. Everything becomes easier with full access to source code:

• You won't be working with a black box.
• You won't be locked into any vendor to do anything for you.
• You can tweak a feature to work exactly to spec.
• You can integrate with any third party system in your current IT infrastructure.
• Whatever you need to do, you can do faster with source code.

Batteries are not sold separately
Coding makes developers happy. Coding when you have the right tools, documentation, and support makes developers happier. The Elastic Path platform comes with source code, out-of-the-box features, APIs, integration tools, build scripts, a test suite, and a full development environment. Short of having us sit next to your cube, you have everything you need to deliver ecommerce solutions for your marketing folks.
