What is BigCommerce 
Headless Commerce?

BigCommerce Headless Commerce decouples the frontend from the backend, allowing businesses to craft fully customized, high-performance storefronts using modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and Vue.js. While BigCommerce handles core eCommerce functions—products, checkout, orders—the presentation layer becomes entirely flexible. 

With BigCommerce API integration, you can power multiple digital touchpoints like websites, mobile apps, POS systems, and IoT devices, and connect seamlessly with CRMs, ERPs, and PIMs. BigCommerce Catalyst introduces a cloud-native architecture with modular components to manage content, search, and transactions—without platform constraints.
