Is headless ecommerce right for your business?
The transition to headless ecommerce is definitely a business decision, but it would be impossible to realize without a strong team of in-house developers. Another option could be a collaboration with a reliable integration partner or an acquisition of a third-party, who has experience in headless development.
In general, there are two ways to implement headless commerce. The first one is developing your own headless architecture of an online store and migrate from the current ecommerce solution. This takes a lot of time (months if not years), is very expensive and is no guarantee for a successful result. The second way is the migration of the online store to a new platform like Virto Commerce, in which the headless principle has already been implemented.
