Founded in 2017 by Piyush Pathak, CommerceUp is a cloud-based, flexible, and adaptable ecommerce platform designed to fulfil retailers real needs at the forefront with technical innovation. CommerceUp started developing the product in 2019 and went live with the first client in Dubai, UAE, in August 2020.

Since then, the startup claims to have grown organically to reach a clientele of 40+ across Dubai and India. These brands have seen massive growth by migrating to CommerceUp and generating sales of around $6 million in the past 12 months, the startup claims.

Founder Piyush Pathak said, “We believe ecommerce brands should focus on their core products, brand, and customers without struggling to scale up and compromising their unique vision. We understand the pain points and resentment of brands managing technology to scale, costly plugins, and dependencies on multiple companies to run a successful brand. We built CommerceUp.io to solve those problems and deliver one unified platform to support three pillars of ecommerce: online storefront, post-checkout operations, and customers and sales growth.
