Frequently Asked Questions

What is a headless B2B commerce platform?

Headless commerce for B2B platforms  is a modern, flexible approach to digital commerce architecture, specifically designed for import and export transactions. The headless commerce front end (the “head”) is separated from the back end functionality (the “body”).

By integrating headless commerce API modules into the front end, businesses will be able to create a full digital customer experience for their traders across several channels. Suppliers, sellers and buyers can connect online, exchange product information, and negotiate before closing a deal. It is important to ensure that you choose a SaaS B2B marketplace solution that is fully integrated with finance and supply chain to offer a full digital experience to your operations.

Why is it important to take your operations online?

B2B ecommerce platforms are the future of global trade and will become mainstream in the next two years.

What are the advantages of B2B headless commerce?

Headless B2B commerce offers several benefits that serve the specific complexities of business-to-business transactions:
