Professional Edition
Powering the value chain for selling, buying and channel management, WebSphere Commerce Professional Edition enables the consumer direct business model, supporting commerce transactions involving products, services, or information between businesses and consumers. The business can be a retailer, a manufacturer who sells their goods directly to consumers through their own retail outlet, or any other business that sells goods or provides services directly to consumers. For example, a business that sells to consumers directly through a catalog would be considered a consumer-direct business. Organizations that are not traditionally considered businesses, such as governments, can also be considered consumer-direct sellers. Governments may provide goods and services directly to citizens (government customers).
