With headless eСommerce you’ll gain true sustainability that is secure and resistant. It’s a valuable tool for re-engaging with your customers as it brings a unique mobile experience and contributes to your brand development.

No more one-platform dependence – move towards a genuine omnichannel now!
Headless eCommerce development is all about the full separation of Frontend

from Backend by using modern technologies, such as ReactJS, GraphQL, GatsbyJS, and Next.JS.

As a result, the Frontend stops being dependent on one platform for content generation and can use various platforms in one place. It enables faster operation and the creation of a unique user experience that takes into account your business needs.

After the data exchange starts to work through API as GraphQL, your data transfers and outputs will become more adjustable to your business needs on any channel, be it a website, application, or IoT device. You will be able to use channels such as Voice Search, VR, AR, XR and evolve with the times.

Ecommerce platforms

For catalog and user management, you can deploy any of the most popular eCommerce platforms

You can use WordPress or Contentful for content management together with additional platforms for recommendations or search.

In a nutshell, Headless eCommerce is all about building reliable, fast and scalable websites. No matter how many other platforms your business will include, your site will remain stable and effective. Your Frontend will gain flexible assets and necessary user experience retaining excellent performance.

Today, the number of users of mobile devices is rapidly growing and has already exceeded desktop usage. Not to mention mobile-first development, which is a hot trend in the tech world at the moment. As a technology with an immersive perspective, PWA is already prevailing over the creation of classic website development.
PWA is not just a tech trend, but an absolute necessity. Gartner foresees that PWAs will replace 50% of mobile apps in 2020.

PWA enables users to get a native app-like experience and provides the possibility of adding it to the home screen of their device without any additional app development for iOS and Android.

Performance, Load Resistance, and Security

Several up-to-date technologies can help you to maintain an optimal balance and performance of your eCommerce project.

Gatsby.js is a win-win solution for web stores, with a moderate number of pages and an item volume not exceeding 5000. This framework is based on JamStack technology and turns your Frontend into a static site that will load in less than a second. It will be entirely independent of the backend – available on a separate server, such as CDN hosting. It significantly reduces the costs and resources, while at the same time maintaining a high speed, unrivaled by any other solution.

With Gatsby, you build blazing fast websites.
For eCommerce stores with a larger number of pages and items, we use the server-side rendering platform Next.js. Its main advantages include providing your project with superior performance, the efficient optimization of discovery and SEO, lightning-fast delivery, incremental adoption, and infinite scalability.
