What is a Headless eCommerce Platform?

A Headless eCommerce Platform describes an eCommerce software that has a separation of front-end and back-end.

This software architecture enables maximum freedom for front-end customer experiences without affecting your back-end infrastructure.

The communication between front-end and back-end happens through standardized APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). These APIs enable also easy integration of other applications like legacy systems or third-party services.

How does a Headless eCommerce Platform work?

The easy way

In the simplest and not really modern way, the software vendor has put an API layer on top of the existing eCommerce monolithic architecture.

This brings already benefits and this is indeed a de-coupling of front-end and back-end. But hand on heart, that is only half the story.
