Frequently Asked Questions About Headless Commerce

  • What is Headless Commerce?

    Headless Commerce is an approach to e-commerce where the front-end and back-end of a web store are decoupled, meaning they are built and managed separately. This allows businesses to use different technologies and tools for different parts of their e-commerce platform, and can help improve flexibility and scalability.

  • What are the benefits of using Headless Commerce?

    Headless Commerce can offer several advantages over traditional e-commerce approaches, including greater flexibility, faster page load times, improved performance, and the ability to create more personalized user experiences. Additionally, because the front-end and back-end are separate, it can be easier to make changes to one without impacting the other.

  • How does Headless Commerce differ from traditional e-commerce?

    In traditional e-commerce, the front-end and back-end are tightly coupled, meaning they are built and managed as one unit. This can limit flexibility and scalability, as businesses may be limited in their choice of technologies and tools. In contrast, Headless Commerce separates the front-end and back-end, allowing for greater customization and flexibility.

  • What are some examples of businesses using Headless Commerce?

    Many businesses are adopting Headless Commerce as a way to improve their e-commerce platforms. Some examples include: Nike, which uses a Headless Commerce approach to power its SNKRS app; Lululemon, which uses Headless Commerce to create personalized customer experiences; and Nespresso, which uses Headless Commerce to create a seamless shopping experience across multiple channels.

  • Are there any downsides to using Headless Commerce?

    While Headless Commerce can offer several benefits, it may not be the best choice for every business. Because the front-end and back-end are separate, it can require more technical expertise to manage and maintain, and businesses may need to invest in additional tools and resources to make the most of the approach.

  • "At peak times, we record, on average, 4,000 to 4,800 orders a day. And there’s always surges and spikes – like just before order cutoff time when all of our customers log in at once. And with 8,000 users, as we have in the shop, that can mean a fair amount of traffic. Our shop system must be able to handle this surge in demand."
