Headless Commerce Platform: Actindo Core1

In a headless commerce platform, the front-end (user interface) is separated from the back-end (admin area). This means that all components that you can see and interact with are decoupled from the backend system - i.e. the infrastructure, data and logic of the platform. Developers can thus work independently on both layers without interfering with each other.

At the heart of this headless commerce architecture are so-called headless commerce APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). These are interfaces via which the frontend and backend can communicate and interact with each other, enabling a flexible and modular design of the platform.

A headless architecture allows front-end developers to make the user experience flexible, uncomplicated and cost-efficient - without impacting the entire commerce platform. You can develop small, independent e-commerce applications, also known as microservices, in an agile manner and publish product updates in accelerated release cycles. At the same time, the back-end can be easily changed and optimized - without unwanted side effects on the entire system. To put it simply: retailers, brands and manufacturers are given the opportunity to design their headless commerce platform individually according to their requirements.

When integrating ERP systems with online stores, many companies come up against technical limits in terms of flexibility and data availability. Adapting central processes to the main ERP can be time-consuming and harm efficiency. To ensure seamless processes, a powerful and scalable headless commerce platform is essential.
