In short
What does a headless commerce build involve for an ecommerce store?
A headless commerce build from Cmsmart Ecommerce separates your store front end from an API-driven back end, for businesses with high traffic, complex integrations or changing design needs. The team plans the architecture, builds the back end, connects a front end such as React or Vue.js and tests performance. It is quoted per project after a free scoping call.
| Scope | Needs assessment, headless architecture planning, API-driven back-end development, front-end integration, performance testing and deployment. |
|---|---|
| What you get | A headless store whose front end can be updated independently of an API-driven back end built for high traffic and integrations. |
| Typical inputs | Access to your current systems and any third-party platforms to be integrated. |
| Deliverables | A deployed headless system with a customized back end, a connected front end and post-deployment technical support. |
| How pricing works | Quoted per project after a free scoping call. You see the scope and estimate in writing before any work starts. |

Front end choices
A custom theme or a headless storefront on WooCommerce
There are two routes to a storefront that is not an off-the-shelf theme: a custom WooCommerce theme, or a separate front end that reads from WooCommerce through its API. The assessment compares them on your catalogue, your traffic and your team.
A custom theme
The storefront stays inside WordPress and WooCommerce, with a theme built for your brand and your products.
A headless storefront
A separate front end, for example in a JavaScript framework, calls WooCommerce through its REST API. WooCommerce stays the back end.
The designer in a headless build
The designer is part of the WooCommerce product page today. In a headless storefront, how the editor loads and how its output reaches the cart line is designed and tested as its own task.
