The eCommerce Software Features and Functions Matrix lists essential business requirements enterprises seek in a digital commerce platform. 

eCommerce software is one of the critical foundations in an increasingly digital future as shopping trends shift from brick-and-mortar to online buying. Researchers estimate the market size for eCommerce is over $5 trillion. Hence, it is a strategic imperative for most companies to have an eCommerce presence.

While evaluating competing e-commerce software tools, a pre-built and customizable features and functionality list helps avoid countless whiteboarding sessions or relying on business domain experts to document every last bit of eCommerce functionality. So often, requirements elicitation is lengthy, with companies spending a significant amount of time on basic requirements. A pre-built list lets you jumpstart the process and focus on differentiating features unique to your company.

As a business or enterprise architect, your role is to provide an integrated architecture perspective for a specific business need that necessitates a software platform. A comprehensive list of eCommerce software features and functionality will allow you to think holistically and offer pragmatic design and architectural patterns.

An enterprise’s typical business requirements in eCommerce Software are listed in several categories and amount to about 150 functional features. It also includes about 100 non-functional requirements. The deliverable consists of brief descriptions of each of the features and functions. The goal is to offer a customizable, comprehensive list to allow you to tailor it to your enterprise needs. Please feel free to add, modify, delete or combine the list of items.

In addition, we also provide a simple template with a list of top e-commerce software platforms to enable you to conduct a comparative evaluation. The template is a starting point and does not cover all the eCommerce software solutions. You may include and exclude the eCommerce Platforms that are under consideration.

The eCommerce Software Features List can be used as a starting point for issuing an RFP (Request for Proposal), evaluating competing eCommerce tools, and as a springboard for documenting business and technical requirements.

Why should you pay for eCommerce Software Features and Functionality Matrix?

Good question. Much information is available online – vendor websites, vendor review directories, and analyst reports. Vendor websites are primarily for promoting their wares. Many review websites focus on the overall experience and broad capabilities, not detailed features and functions. Analysts’ reports are expensive and do not provide fine-grain feature listings. Furthermore, if you and your team were to scrape and compile information from external sources, and conduct whiteboard requirements sessions internally, the time, effort, and expense would be exponentially expensive. Our features and functionality matrix provides a springboard for you to customize and tailor to your specific use cases and needs.
