The Headless Commerce APIs Behind Your Business
Headless commerce brings online shopping anywhere
What is Headless Commerce?
Headless commerce architecture underpins an eCommerce solution with headless content management capabilities. In a nutshell, that means a CMS that stores, manages and delivers content without a front-end delivery layer.
Commerce-as-a-Service brings you the best of both worlds
