Learning More About Sitecore’s/Four51’s OrderCloud Storefront 2.0

With Sitecore SaaS and the move to a Composable DXP, the Four51 acquisition will play a key role in newer Commerce offerings. While awaiting for what the new Commerce solution will look like under the hood, it may be helpful to understand the Four51 platform as it stands today.

The “Sitecore OrderCloud” spoke to at Sitecore Symposium is most likely the Four51 OrderCloud Storefront. However, this does not mean the final “Sitecore OrderCloud” is Four51 without modification, so we will need to wait to see what the final offering looks like.

Traditionally, Four51 has 3 options… the Four51 Storefront, OrderCloud Storefront, and Custom Repository. This guide compiles OrderCloud Storefront 2.0 resources, as that is the recommended usage for this platform.

More information on the 3 options and architecture of Four51 are as follows:
