Headless commerce, in a nutshell, is like having the superpower of flexibility in the e-commerce universe. Picture it as your e-commerce platform shedding its traditional monolithic structure, like a snake shedding its skin, to become this agile, dynamic, and ultra-customizable solution. It’s allowing you to decouple the front-end and back-end. With headless commerce, you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all approach. You get to choose and mix the best tools and technologies for your specific needs, like handpicking ingredients for your favorite recipe. It’s your online store, your rules. And as the e-commerce landscape evolves, you can easily adapt. Headless commerce: it’s the freedom to create and innovate without boundaries.
With headless commerce architecture, we are able to fix the gap between blazing fast native (installed) apps and the user experience we are able to deliver with mobile optimized webshops. PWA is a frontend progressive web application, and coupled with Headless makes a businesses’ perfect couple. To emphasize, the biggest feature of PWA development is performance. When we are talking about performance, we are talking about the speed at which pages and content are loaded, as well as the speed at which actions can be performed. The performance improvement will result in a better user experience and better scalability.
Think of traditional e-commerce as the classic family sedan – it’s reliable, gets you from point A to B, but not much room for customization. Now, picture headless commerce as a sleek, customizable sports car. It’s all about speed, agility, and performance. Traditional e-commerce comes with a fixed structure, where the front-end and back-end are tightly linked – like a train on its tracks. Headless commerce, on the other hand, uncouples these elements, giving you the freedom to mix and match components like a LEGO set. It’s like having the power to transform your car into a speedboat or a helicopter whenever you want. With headless commerce, you can create unique, lightning-fast shopping experiences and adapt to market changes in the blink of an eye.
When it comes to loading speed, headless commerce using Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) takes the crown. PWAs can load up to 15 times faster than your run-of-the-mill responsive webshop. They play nicely with all major browsers, ensuring rapid response times across the board.
Time is money, especially in e-commerce. Headless commerce bridges the gap between frontend and backend with an API bridge, allowing you to kickstart development on both fronts simultaneously. No more waiting for the backend to catch up; you’re off to the races.
Say goodbye to double investments. Instead of splitting resources between building a webshop and native apps for Android and iOS, you can now focus your development efforts on a single, all-encompassing application that conquers every platform.
In a world where connectivity can be fickle, headless commerce keeps your shop rock-solid. Even in the face of dropped or limited connections, customers can browse and fill their shopping carts without a hitch.
With PWAs and headless commerce, development efficiency skyrockets. Thanks to seamless API connections, you can integrate new functionality directly into the frontend without disrupting the backend. In simpler terms, development moves at warp speed.
Better performance translates to higher conversion rates. With personalized push notifications at your disposal, you can nurture customer relationships. Moreover, search engines adore PWAs, giving your SEO ranking a significant boost in the process.
For the purpose of headless commerce development, we do have a tailored made technology stack. Per project, we decide together with our client what is the best platform for both frontend and backend. We do have experience with multiple backend platforms and frontend technologies, such as:

As soon as we start a headless project, we will start with exploring the needs and advice about the best approach. After that, without a delay, we will form the development team. We do have a team of specialists in headless eCommerce architecture.
Straightaway, we jointly decide what the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) should be. Additionally, we include rough estimated project costs and a timeline to get there. Of course, another option for you is to just connect our remote team to an existing in-house team.
Truth to be told, e-Commerce projects are too complex to be done linearly. Therefore, we divide the estimated timeline into short sprints. Each sprint, we decide together which tasks should be done first to build the MVP. This way, you and the team stay in charge when circumstances change and insights evolve. Our Scrum Masters and a dedicated Product Owner lead the process.
We work both from The Netherlands and Serbia. Same continent, knowledge level, and also – dedication. Is it nearshoring? As a matter of fact, you could call it that. We see it as working together on a remote basis. After all, being always in the same office space to collaborate and be part of a group is so 2000.
With testing, code and visual reviews, we monitor the quality of our projects and improve every day.
We facilitate everything for a productive team. Equipment, tools, courses and certification.
Our employees can connect to internal, external communication channels and to (daily) meetings.
We would like to invite you to come to visit offices and get acquainted. Seeing is believing.

Together with our project management and scrum master we will define the project scope by creating user stories. During the project the scope can change, but always with keeping an eye on the strategy.
Based on the project scope we will form the team that will work on the project. The technical team lead will take care of the tasks together with the team members. We will follow the scrum principles.
A kickoff meeting is more than just the start of a new project. It’s a celebratory moment with everyone who’s involved. Let’s get the project started!
Working in short sprints makes the project manageable, which is all thanks to the help of the Scrum framework. Giving everyone enough space to maneuver and responsibly deliver what was agreed upon.
eCommerce development is a process. We collaborate and reflect regularly, ensuring everyone involved stays satisfied and productive. Striving for the perfect lap.
