How does Instant Commerce work?
Instant Commerce provides everything you need to build a headless webshop that will propel your growth and stand the test of time.
What does a "headless webshop" entail?
Headless eCommerce, or going headless, means separating your webstore's frontend from the eCommerce backend. It allows you to build, test, and deliver engaging eCommerce experiences faster, better, and more cost-efficiently.
Instant Commerce provides the frontend. The backend hosts all product information and order handling. In our case this is provided by Shopify.
Additionally, you'll need a Content Management System (CMS) to add and maintain written and visual content. For this, Instant Commerce works with Storyblok.
