Headless Commerce Development

To explain it in plain English, Headless Commerce is not any technology, framework, CMS, or programming language. It is just an idea or we can say, it’s Architecture. Before we begin discussing Headless Commerce or Headless Websites it is important to understand, where the idea behind Headless Development did come from.

The Headless Software has been in place sometimes mostly for JAVA and Linux where the software was independent of any Graphical User Interface (GUI). This type of software’s use to receive inputs and provides outputs through other modes like Networking Port or Embedded Devices.

Leveraging the learning for this sort of software arrangement, programmers figured out how to use Headless efficiently with Web-based systems with the advent and advancement of Web Technologies.

Normally, all the Websites work with their own Front-End (GUI) and Back-End. In the earlier system, Front-end and Back-end worked together as a single entity and communicated directly.

In Headless arrangement, the Front-End and Back-End are separate and work independent of each other. They communicate with one another with the use of an API (Application Programming Interface). Both the Front-end and Back-End can be hosted to separate servers. They just need to connect with one another with an API client. This gives a great amount of flexibility to the programmer to play around with the Front-end and Back-end codes and even make efficient changes without affecting the whole system.

The Headless Commerce works as per the arrangement explained above. The E-Commerce Websites, Portals, and Web-Apps which are having separate Front-End and Back-End and are connected via APIs are known as Headless Commerce. E-Commerce is an area that requires constant changes/upgrades and scaling to keep pace with fast changes of industry and to keep the user’s interest intact. Without headless, even small change becomes a big headache. Headless Architecture gives the freedom to build whatever is required without affecting overall codes.

Benefits of Headless Commerce

1. Flexibility and Speed

Headless Commerce allows companies the flexibility to easily adapt to market needs. Headless Commerce does not need to deploy the entire system every time some changes are made. This helps with the speed with which the system can be developed and deployed.

2. Easy Customization

With the advent of Headless Commerce, users don’t have to keep themselves bounded within the scope of the usual CMS, Frameworks, and Languages. They have the flexibility to try new ideas and get easy customizations as per the need of the system.

3. Compatibility

One of the biggest benefits of Headless Commerce is its universal compatibility across devices and viewing formats. Programmers are selecting the mix of technologies for Websites which can allow them to make universal designs which can be responsive across devices. This reduces the risk of adapting the design for each screen individually.

Why Zobi Web Solutions for Headless Commerce?

We at Zobi Web Solutions has always been working with ASP.NET based technologies. It is our primary service. With the passage of time, we had also realized the need for having a separate Frontend User Interface from the Backend and want to foray into Headless Development.

The launch of Angular gave us the right opportunity to learn a new frontend technology that can be easily adapted with ASP.NET. In fact, with ASP.NET Core, we had the final framework in our hand which allowed us to create an efficient backend with very secure APIs which can be synced with JS Frameworks.

This was the moment we started putting all focus on headless development. We learned and adapted our team for JS Frameworks and now we are a leading AngularJS Development Company that provides top-notch solutions for AngularJS to Angular10 including Angular Universal as well as ReactJS.

Now, at Zobi Web Solutions, we can create Headless Commerce using JS Frameworks with .NET Core, Shopify, NodeJS, etc…
