Solutions
Firmly powers commerce across five destination-side surfaces, plus Firmly Connect — the merchant-side control panel. Each solution combines the same core platform — catalog, cart, checkout, orders, wallet — assembled differently to fit the context. Same auth, same APIs; a solution is how you frame the integration, not a separate build.

Find your fit
Pick whichever you already know — your industry, or where the buyer sees the product. Both land you on the same solution.
By your industry
| Industry | Primary solution | Common use cases | Why this fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Publishers & editorial | Publisher Commerce | Shoppable Article, Curated Product Roundup | In-context buy-now buttons keep the reader on the article surface |
| Ad networks & shoppable ads | Ad Commerce | In-Feed Shoppable Ad, Post-Click Purchase | Click-ID + ad-platform postback are first-class concerns; payment-method emphasis depends on the ad surface |
| Marketplaces & multi-brand aggregators | Marketplace | Branded Marketplace | Operator aggregates many merchants into one branded surface; search spans merchants, each checkout is single-merchant |
| Branded & affiliate networks | Branded Commerce | Single-product deal, Curated landing page, Retail-media placement | White-labeled partner-branded pages with UTM + partner attribution |
| Wallets, banks & connected devices | Agentic Commerce + Agentic Pay | Scheduled Buying, Autonomous Agent Purchasing | Cardholder-not-present scenarios require Agentic Pay for mandate-based payment |
| AI assistants & search | Agentic Commerce | Shopping Copilot, Smart Payment, Smart Gifting | Conversational discovery + multi-turn cart review fit the agentic flow naturally |
| A merchant connecting your store | Firmly Connect | Catalog scope + destination opt-ins | Make your store reachable to every destination on Firmly’s network, with one connection |
By where the buyer sees it
The destination surface — where the buyer actually encounters the product — maps to a solution too:
| Buyer surface | Solution | Status today |

| AI surfaces | Agentic Commerce | Available |
| Social platforms | — | Roadmap |
| Connected TV | — | Roadmap |
See Destination surfaces for what each category supports today and what’s on the roadmap.
When you span more than one
Some products legitimately use several solutions. A few common patterns:
- A publisher that also runs ad campaigns — Publisher Commerce for the editorial articles + Ad Commerce for the campaign creatives. Same App ID, different integration patterns.
- A marketplace with branded landing pages — Marketplace for the aggregated multi-merchant storefront + Branded Commerce for the high-conversion deal pages.
- An AI shopping copilot embedded in a banking app — Agentic Commerce for the conversational discovery + Agentic Pay for the cardholder-not-present payment.
The good news: Firmly’s API surface is universal. Same auth, same cart, same checkout, same order placement. Solutions are how the docs frame the narrative around the same APIs — they don’t require separate integrations.
