It's an exciting day for Craft Commerce. After nine months in Beta, Commerce 2 is ready for prime time!

Commerce 2 is available in two editions:Lite ($199) andPro ($999).

We built Commerce Lite for websites that just need the basics, for things like one-off sales or subscriptions, where complex tax and shipping rules, promotion management, and shopping carts would be overkill.

Commerce Pro is our full-featured ecommerce platform for traditional ecommerce stores. It has all the same great features from Commerce 1, and then some:

• You can now offersubscriptions (Stripe only).
• Sales anddiscounts can now be assigned to any purchasable type, as well as categories.
• Orders can now have completely customizable and friendlier reference numbers.
• Payment Gateways are now available as plugins giving you the option to choose which gateway is best for your project.
• Make the shopping experience even easier for your customers with Commerce 2's improved address management features and the ability to store credit card data within the gateway.

To view a full list of improvements, including the tons of upgrades to Commerce's development and extensibility features visit thechangelog.

You can learn more about how Commerce Lite and Pro compare to each other on thePricing page. Both are free to try from your local Craft 3.1 install.
