Headless commerce is the separation of the backend of a digital store from the customer-facing storefront, giving businesses greater flexibility and scalability in the way they operate. Just as with a headless CMS, a headless eCommerce system works by passing requests between the presentation and application layers through web services or application programming interface (API) calls.

About HEADLESS Commerce
The Key Benefits
Amazon has built a headless commerce platform that allows for multi-billion-dollar sales through a growing range of increasingly sophisticated customer interfaces. Let’s review some of the key benefits of Headless:
- Personalization: Consumers have come to expect a relevant shopping experience based on their personal preferences. The statistics show that more than 70% of consumers will refuse offers that are not based on their brand engagement. Even though customer needs change over time, they should still receive a consistent customer experience across all devices and channels.
- Speed: Blazing fast end-user experience
- Flexibility: Increased flexibility and control with decoupled frontend from backend
- Reduced Costs: Future redesigns are executed much easier as they don’t depend on the backend
- Omnichannel: A headless content management system will help propel your content anywhere and everywhere. For an eCommerce brand, that means delivering your products, product videos, or blog posts to any channel that has emerged — or will emerge.
- Increase in CRO by 20%: Notable increase of the conversion rate, especially on mobile due to speed and SEO improvements
- Straightforward Platform Upgrades: For any SFCC customers it will make the transition to SFRA much cheaper and smoother – as AIOPSGROUP transfers first all Frontend to Headless (using OCAPI) and subsequently AIOPSGROUP Headless team transfers backend to SFRA but in a staged approach rather than all in one
- Agnostic Platform Transitions: For any Adobe Commerce or SFCC customers, it also gives the ability for easier migration to new platforms if needed.
