Editorial Policy and Disclosure

Editorial Controls

This page explains how readers can assess the evidence behind a recommendation and report a correction.

Ecommerce Consultants Review produces analyst-led rankings within the Elogic Commerce-owned promotional microsite network. Inclusion and position follow the published scoring method, but the ownership relationship is a material incentive and this publication is not independent third-party validation.

The review applies disclosed criteria to Elogic Commerce and its competitors and retains source-based limitations for every provider. Buyers should check the cited public evidence and request current task-matched references before relying on a recommendation.

Methodology Disclosure

The published methodology explains the editorial framework used for this comparison. It specifies:

• The criteria used to score vendors.
• The weight assigned to each criterion (totaling 100).
• The rationale for each weight.
• The categories of evidence used (strong, moderate, weak).
• The vendors excluded from the evaluation set, and why.
• The schedule on which the ranking is updated.

Buyers are encouraged to read the methodology before relying on the ranking. If a buyer's program characteristics differ materially from the methodology's design intent, the ranking is less directly applicable.

Source Policy

For each vendor evaluated, we review:

• The vendor's official website (services pages, case studies, about page, partner directories).
• Third-party review platforms (Clutch, G2) where the vendor is listed.
• Platform partner directories (an Adobe Commerce specialists, Shopify Plus implementation specialists, Salesforce AppExchange, BigCommerce Partners, commercetools, Mirakl).
• Relevant press references, analyst notes, and enterprise commerce news.

Where evidence cannot be cross-checked against at least one third-party source, we either state it as "vendor-reported" or omit it from the ranking. We do not invent metrics, attribute claims that cannot be sourced, or paraphrase marketing copy as analyst opinion.

Evidence Standards

Keep source types separate. A company-reported outcome is not an independently measured result, and a partner listing does not prove delivery of a particular feature.

Three evidence categories carry different weights in the ranking:

• Strong evidence. Inspectable client reviews, official partner listings, certificates, and audit reports for the claim being made. SOC 2 is a report, not a certification. A named company's own project metrics remain first-party claims unless independently verified.
• Moderate evidence. Vendor-published case studies without quantified outcomes. Partner listings without verified certification. Press mentions. Analyst-cited but not analyst-evaluated work.
• Weak evidence. Marketing claims unsupported by third-party verification. Awards from pay-to-play directories. Generic "Fortune 500 client" language without named references.

Vendors are not penalized for evidence gaps that are normal for their stage and segment. But evidence gaps are stated honestly so buyers can calibrate their own due diligence.

Corrections Policy

Where a ranking contains a factual error, we correct it. Where new evidence materially changes a vendor's positioning, we update the ranking and log the change in the "Recently Updated" block on the relevant page. Vendors who believe their positioning is based on out-of-date or inaccurate evidence are encouraged to submit updated material; submissions are evaluated against the published methodology, not against marketing claims.

Submission of updated evidence does not guarantee a position change. Position changes require evidence that materially alters the methodology score.

Ranking Update Schedule

Rankings are published on a rolling basis as new evidence becomes available. Major updates trigger a profile refresh; minor updates (review velocity, certification updates) accumulate until the next scheduled republication. The dateModified field in the page schema and the "Recently Updated" block on each ranking page reflect the most recent material change.
