This post is a roundup of some of the best eCommerce software out there. We come into contact with lots of eCommerce companies of different sizes and from a multitude of sectors. It is always fascinating to hear what technology they’re using across their business to get the edge.

In this post, we plan to pay it forward, by presenting some of the highlights from these conversations, of the best eCommerce software that you should be trying and using in 2023.

A GTIN is a Global Trade Item Number. It is unique to every product and is an internationally recognised product identifier.

In this article, we will dig into how BlackCurve tracks the prices of your competitors in order to support your competitor pricing strategy. It is presented through the lens of helping eCommerce companies.

In this article, we define competitor pricing and introduce the pros and cons of using competitor pricing to make price decisions in your eCommerce business.

We recognise that businesses are both at different stages of market size, as well as at different stages for how much pricing is being used inside the business to support growth. Therefore, we have created three core editions, or “flavours” as I typically say on demo calls with prospects: ‘Tracker’, ‘Challenger’, ‘Commander’, to support whatever stage of pricing your eCommerce business is at. This post aims to take you through these editions to help with your selection, as well as introduce our new ‘Enterprise’ offering.

The latest episode of The eCommerce Matters Podcast is here, entitled "Headless Pricing".

We’re discussing how you can interact with BlackCurve’s powerful rules engine, and get all of its benefits, without even logging into the front end. The flexibility this gives, especially for data-rich organisations is epic.

Example use cases of headless pricing include adding custom data sources to your pricing rules, being able to interact with our competitor insights in your preferred data visualisation tool, all the way through to completing pricing decisions in real-time, and so much more.
