Hi there,

I’ve recently did the free ‘OrderCloud Sales and Marketing Fundamentals’ elearning from Sitecore to get a better insight into the features of the commerce solution and how the headless architecture provides limitless flexibility to solve any complex commerce requirement.

With the course you gain a deeper understanding of Sitecore OrderCloud®, the API-first, headless ecommerce platform. In the course they’ll cover how to position it with your prospects, and how to use it to develop ecommerce, order management, and B2B marketplace applications. Finally, you’ll learn how to take advantage of all of OrderCloud’s development tools to help you get started.

The HeadStart toolset is designed to accelerate the delivery of your eCommerce solution with extendable, pre-built commerce administration functionality, including buyer and supplier experiences.
