On January 1, 2012, Broadleaf Commerce became an independent entity and gained legal separation from Credera.

Products

Broadleaf Community Edition

Broadleaf Community Edition is the free version of the open source[7] content management system (CMS). In addition to the management of products and catalog information, this edition provides a WYSIWYG editor to manage items such as blogs and other pre-defined content pages. [8]

Broadleaf B2C Enterprise Edition

Built from the Broadleaf Community Edition, enabling cross-team collaboration for website management, campaigns, order lifecycle management, and customer service functionalities through a single administrative console. Designed for enterprises requiring CSR assisted shopping, RMA code generation, and system blocks for potentially fraudulent orders, this system provides a holistic view of commerce processes from marketing automation to order placement and shipping. [9]

Broadleaf B2B Enterprise Edition

Broadleaf B2B Enterprise Edition uses the foundation of the Broadleaf Community Edition, but contains more features. The B2B Enterprise Edition requires an Enterprise license. It is designed for companies who use multiple teams to update the company websites. This system handles multiple fulfillment centers, vendors, suppliers, and end buyers.[10]

Broadleaf Multi-Tenant Enterprise Edition

The system provides one administrative interface to set permissions for individual franchise site management, while maintaining the ability to deploy changes across all franchise site properties. Designed to manage multiple disparate sites and/or brands, the Multi-Tenant Enterprise Edition allows each vendor to upload, price, and promote their own products independently.[11]
