Elastic Path
Elastic Path is composable commerce software for businesses that sell across channels. Its modular capabilities are available through APIs and can be used separately or together. The platform lists B2B tools for account hierarchies, quoting, pricebooks, rule-based catalogs, buyer tools, and dynamic bundles, alongside Intelligent Commerce features such as MCP servers, an AI storefront builder, semantic search, and agents. Composer supports managed no-code integrations, low-code integration building, workflow orchestration, monitoring, and alerts. It names Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, and Worldpay as payment providers and states there is no processor surcharge. Self-Managed Commerce can run on-premise, in a customer’s cloud, or through Elastic Path Managed Hosting. Listed Entry pricing is $49,500 a year, either for up to $5M GMV per year or up to 15,000 orders per year. The platform also lists unlimited SKUs, catalogs, storefronts, brands, and business users, with no per-seat fees. Elastic Path was founded in 2000.
