What Is SAP ecommerce?
SAP ecommerce refers to the digital selling capabilities and solutions that SAP customers deploy to manage online commerce operations. This includes shopping cart functionality, product information management (PIM), order management, payment processing, and customer engagement tools. SAP ecommerce solutions span from SAP Commerce Cloud (formerly SAP Hybris) for enterprise B2C and B2B commerce, to custom storefront implementations using SAP Fiori, integration with SAP S/4HANA for order-to-cash processes, and specialized solutions for specific industries like retail, manufacturing, and distribution. The scope of SAP ecommerce continues to expand as organizations modernize legacy ecommerce platforms and adopt cloud-native commerce strategies.
