SFCC: Should you move to Headless?
By eCommerce

Salesforce Commerce Cloud in 2022 is one of the leaders in B2C commerce. With the release of SFRA in 2018, many clients have made the move over to this but there are still constant conversations about what to do at the frontend. Queue: Headless! Headless is currently the hot topic being discussed within SFCC. There is a buzz around the world and everyone is keen to know more and understand how it can work for them.

 

What is Headless commerce

“In its simplest form, headless commerce is a separation of the front end and back end of an ecommerce application. This architecture offers brands freedom of expression to build whatever and however they want. Most importantly, it enables brands to enrich the customer experience. “

Why Should I utilise Headless commerce?

Financial

Using headless in your business can allow you to save on a number of different areas – these include but are not limited to managing several different eCommerce outlets and maintenance of platforms. Headless will allow your business to market your products more proactively in turn creating more revenue.

Freedom

Headless separates the backend from the frontend, giving you complete freedom to create an amazing eCommerce experience for your customers. It allows you to step away from commerce templates and utilise API’s to create a truly unique experience that will set you apart from the rest.

Speed

Undoubtedly the point I see coming up the most. The freedom that Headless provides, will mean that developers have the option to experiment. This will allow the team to learn faster. It also gives you the option to make swift changes to your frontend without it having an effect on the backend. This is because you won’t have to test the backend to make a simple change to your UI.

Should I move to Headless commerce?

Headless is the way forward. I see it being the standard of what businesses will be using in the future. If your business is currently not on this platform, then it is time to start considering making the move or researching how it can benefit and positively impact your business.
