CQuotient

CQuotient is the artificial intelligence and shopper-data technology that powers personalization and predictive commerce for Salesforce B2C Commerce (Commerce Cloud) Einstein. Originally an independent commerce-personalization startup, CQuotient was acquired by Demandware in 2013, and Demandware was in turn acquired by Salesforce in 2016. Today the CQuotient engine underpins Einstein product recommendations, predictive sort, Einstein search dictionaries, and shopper activity capture. Its developer surface is the Salesforce B2C Commerce Einstein API (also referred to as the CQuotient API), documented within the Salesforce Developers documentation rather than on a standalone CQuotient portal.

CQuotient is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Commerce, Ecommerce, Personalization, and Artificial Intelligence.

CQuotient’s developer surface includes documentation and API reference.
