Customization as a Feature

Industry-leading capabilities are included in the box, but Broadleaf’s capabilities beyond the box make us truly special. Extensibility is built-in at the application, API, and admin console layers. There’s no reason to change the Broadleaf core code in order to customize Broadleaf!


  • Augmentations are available directly within Broadleaf’s Admin console
  • Entities are extensible, including new fields, tables, and relationships
  • Repositories can be augmented or overridden
  • Services allow for custom business logic and external system integration
  • Mapping is configurable, including the ability to augment to any database provider
  • Endpoints and Message Channels receive JSON payloads to send to the service layer

Customize Anything

Sophistication as a Standard

Technical and organizational complexity is better accounted for in modern eCommerce solutions, rather than worked around. With Broadleaf’s eCommerce Framework, you’re never stuck in a rigid product pattern, out-of-box (only) integration, or shared infrastructure. You have the power to adapt Broadleaf to meet your business needs, not vice versa.


  • Adapt Broadleaf Domains to meet the data complexities you need to at scale
  • Build your own APIs in addition to ours, to integrate your way
  • Leverage our Hierarchical Data Management across multi-tiered catalog scenarios
  • Ensure cross-team collaboration through our sandboxing and deployment workflows
  • Determine your own deployment plan with our cloud-native and cloud-agnostic microservices
