Salesforce has unveiled Composable Storefront, a fully-customizable, headless digital storefront that gives online retailers the ability to make site changes with speed and flexibility in order to increase sales, conversions and basket size, while driving down costs.
Pre-built packages made specifically for headless implementations and use cases with commerce partners were also announced at the eTail East conference in Boston yesterday. These include best-in-class integrations, pricing, and implementation accelerators from across the Salesforce ecosystem, all anchored by Commerce Cloud.
According to Salesforce, this kind of digital storefront is important to retailers because they desire adaptable and flexible commerce sites that can keep up with ever-evolving customer preferences. Headless commerce separates the front end and back end of an ecommerce solution, enabling brands to customize digital storefronts quickly and affordably without a disruption to the shopping experience.
