“As ecommerce growth is showing signs of slowing down, engaging consumers is more important than ever. Unfortunately, typical ecommerce engagement is rather reactive and not always interactive. Live commerce is a new type of software that aims to solve these challenges using live video streaming,” said Gabriel Gheorghiu – Research Principal (ERP, Project Management, eCommerce, GRC) at G2. “Since our mission at G2 is to continuously improve our taxonomy, we recently added a new category for this type of software to help buyers find and compare live commerce solutions. We expect this market to grow rapidly and live commerce to become an essential part of e-commerce strategies.”

With 69 positive reviews and a 4.8 star rating on G2, CommentSold reviewers highlight its ease of use, customer service and full-service offerings.
