What is Composable Commerce?

Composable commerce involves selecting API-first, best-of-breed commerce components, and then composing them into a cohesive solution that meets unique business needs.

Composable commerce unlocks extraordinary shopping experiences and delivers speed and flexibility to commerce teams. Unlike monolithic commerce solutions, composable commerce uses various vendors to fuel a commerce solution. This way, you aren't constrained by the out-of-the-box functionalities of a commerce platform.

Composable commerce is distinct from headless commerce, as headless means decoupling the frontend presentation layer from the backend commerce engine layer. Composable commerce expands on headless technology, as the frontend and backend are decoupled and brands access a fully modular approach to solving business problems and arranging a tech stack.

Taking a monolithic approach limits your flexibility and ability to be agile and refine as you go. It’s a more arduous tech stack.
