The retail, consumer goods and food and beverage sector needs to be cost-friendly as well as agile enough to cater to ever-changing consumer preferences and beating the competition. In our earlier blog , we spoke about the evolution of headless commerce and how it offers companies freedom of expression to build whatever and however they want.
In this modern age of e-commerce, technology plays a crucial role in building a digital store. A lot of techniques are available for the headless approach. Many enterprise platforms like Salesforce, SAP, Magento, etc. enable you to build headless commerce applications.
