Content Management System (CMS) capability enables content managers to add, customize, and effectively manage content on all the pages of a shop.

The base shop features provide the basic search functionality that is needed in any shop type.

The marketplace features provide marketplace-specific functionality. Even running a marketplace, you still need most of the base shop features.
