eBay has launched X.Commerce, the company's new commerce developer platform designed to house all of eBay's major commerce and developer tools.
The main pillars will be PayPal and eBay, but also includes RedLaser, ProStores, Milo, GSI Commerce, Zong, Where and Magento (eBay's popular e-commerce software).
"We intend to build the full suite of commerce tools," eBay CEO John Donahoe said Wednesday on stage at the X.Commerce Innovate conference in San Francisco.
Donahoe said that the X.Commerce platform has three key tenants. First, eBay will make sure it has all the commerce tools developers and merchants need to do business, and eBay will make the acquisitions necessary to get it done. Second, the platform will be an "open platform." And third, it will be designed to be easily accessible and usable.
