Innovate with Shopify Headless Commerce

Consumer behaviors are changing rapidly and forcing retailers to rethink how they design and architect online shopping experiences to stay competitive. Headless Commerce allows retailers to build seamless shopping experiences across all customer touchpoints including apps, voice, wearables, IoT and in store.

What is Headless Commerce?

A headless commerce architecture separates your front-end experiences from your back-end infrastructure, empowering you to publish instantly from any platform, anywhere. APIs provide a path between your user interface and back-end operational system. This connection empowers retailers with an unlimited amount of web, social, mobile, in-store and smart device customer touch points.

Benefits of Headless Commerce

The main benefit of a headless approach is separating the systems that store data and present it. Headless commerce separates the presentation layer from code. By decoupling the front-end, changes can be completed without programming help. With powerful APIs, Shopify allows you to integrate all your systems (ERP, PIM, IMS, etc.) to build a user experience in the software stack of your choice.
