eCommerce Platform ComparisonIn its purest form, headless commerce is a separation of the front and back end of an eCommerce application. The front end focuses on the design of the website, the content, images, buttons etc – it’s the site’s presentation layer and what the customer sees. The backend is all around the infrastructure, product structure, pricing, inventory/ stock, customer and order management, security and checkout functionality for example.
Decoupling the two means that developers can use their frontend technology of choice to deliver high-quality content experiences and plug in an eCommerce solution on the backend that manages all commerce functionality.
CXOne Storefront has been built to empower merchants who are ready to migrate away from current out-of-the-box eCommerce frontend solutions and embrace headless without the headaches. It’s an API layer which allows the backend commerce functions to be accessed by any front end. Front end developers can then use these APIs to deliver customer experiences to any screen or connected device with any technology or customer experience platform they desire.
