Before we begin

Useful answers. Clear expectations.

A few questions to help frame your headless commerce architecture project.

Is headless commerce always faster or more flexible?

No. It can offer greater control, but performance and flexibility depend on implementation. It also introduces integration and operating work that must be justified by the business need.

How is the scope and delivery plan defined?

We begin with your current situation and the outcome you need. For this service, the discussion covers clarify the reason to decouple, design the contracts, plan operation and evolution. Deliverables, dependencies, review points, and commercial terms are agreed before implementation.
