# About eCommerce

Zilliant eCommerce is a self-service product catalog and shopping platform. eCommerce captures product interest, guides your customers through the product evaluation and purchasing process, and enables them to make special requests.

The portal provides a customized, self-service buying experience, offering your customers products and components that are compatible with their previous purchases.

## How eCommerce works

The eCommerce application displays products and processes orders and inquiries based on a user’s permissions, product information, and other configurations maintained by eCommerce and [CPQ](/v1/docs/about-cpq).

To set up eCommerce:

1. [Configure branding](/v1/docs/configure-branding) for the eCommerce application.
2. Add and [configure products](/v1/docs/configure-products).
3. [Configure the checkout process](/v1/docs/configure-the-checkout-process) for the eCommerce application.

## How to use eCommerce

Depending on your user permissions, eCommerce allows you to [review submitted orders and inquiries](/v1/docs/reviewing-orders).

For information about managing users, read [User management](/v1/docs/user-management).
