Although integration with an ERP or other platforms handles most implementation work, you can perform much of the Optimizely Configured Commerce functionality manually. Create a site manually to produce demo sites for sales presentations, test site performance, or train on the platform. Below are the steps required to set up enough features to complete a transaction on the website. You can then build other areas of functionality.
