← Back to glossary Category: Tehnologie Headless Commerce Quick answer: A commerce architecture where the frontend (storefront) is separated from the backend (orders, stock, checkout) and communicates via API. Key takeawaysMultiple frontends on the same backendFast launch of new channelsTechnology freedom on presentation What headless commerce is Headless commerce separates the presentation layer (site, app, kiosk) from the back-end commerce logic (products, prices, cart, orders). The two communicate via API, allowing any frontend without rewriting the backend. Why it matters to the board It enables fast launch of new channels (web, mobile, marketplace, B2B) over the same operational logic, without duplicating systems. Growth flexibility without rip-and-replace. Advantages Multiple frontends on the same backend Fast launch of new channels Technology freedom on presentation How Azuvio helps Azuvio can act as a headless operational layer: it exposes stock, prices, orders and statuses via API to any storefront or channel, orchestrating fulfilment regardless of the frontend that generated the order. Frequently askedDoes headless mean I have no site?No. It means the site (frontend) is separated from commerce logic and communicates via API, and can be changed or multiplied independently.Why is it useful for omnichannel?Because the same operational backend feeds multiple channels, so stock and orders are consistent across web, app, marketplace and B2B.
