Headless commerce is revolutionizing how eCommerce stores are built. By decoupling the frontend presentation layer from the backend commerce engine, you gain unprecedented flexibility and performance.
What is Headless Magento?
Headless Magento uses the Magento 2 backend as a commerce engine while building a custom frontend using modern JavaScript frameworks. Communication happens via GraphQL and REST APIs.
Benefits of Headless
- Performance: Lightning-fast page loads with PWA technology
- Flexibility: Customize every aspect of the user experience
- Omnichannel: Use the same backend for web, mobile, and IoT
- Developer Experience: Use modern frontend tools and workflows
