Why Go Headless?

Headless commerce separates your customer-facing frontend from your commerce backend — giving you the speed of a modern React app combined with the commerce power of Magento, Shopify Plus, or BigCommerce.

01

Sub-second LCP with edge rendering and ISR

02

Full design freedom — zero theme constraints

03

Omnichannel: web, mobile, kiosk, voice from one backend

04

Independent frontend and backend deployments

05

Compose best-in-class tools: Algolia, Contentful, Klaviyo

06

Better developer experience and faster feature iteration

— Tech Stack

Our Headless Commerce Tech Stack

We build headless storefronts on Next.js with edge rendering, connected to commerce APIs via GraphQL or REST. Every integration is idempotent, observable, and covered by contract tests.

Conversion Engineering for Headless Stores

A fast storefront only pays off if it converts. We run revenue-tied experiments on PDP, cart, and checkout — and instrument every funnel step so optimisation never stops.

Cart recovery and cross-sell mechanics

One-step checkout with wallet pay support

Server-side A/B testing with Statsig / Optimizely

— Migration Strategy

Migration Strategy & Architecture

Moving from a monolithic storefront to headless is a phased migration, not a big-bang rewrite. We run your existing store and new headless frontend in parallel — routing traffic incrementally so there is zero downtime and no ranking loss.

01

Strangler-fig migration: go page-type by page-type

02

Parallel run with traffic splitting via edge middleware

03

1:1 URL redirect plan to preserve SEO rankings

04

Search Console watch for 30 days post-cutover

05

Rollback path at every migration phase

06

Full integration test suite before any traffic switch

— Performance & Edge

Performance & Edge Architecture

We deploy headless storefronts to the edge — closer to the shopper than any origin server. Combine that with ISR, streaming HTML, and image CDN pipelines, and you get LCP numbers that move conversion metrics every time.

— Why this works

Storefronts engineered for the revenue curve — not the launch deck.

Commerce is the only software discipline where every millisecond, every cart-page bug and every checkout step has a measurable rupee value. We build for that — by treating performance, search and merchandising as engineering disciplines with revenue KPIs.

01

Edge-rendered storefronts

PDP, PLP and search are rendered at the edge with smart caching and stale-while-revalidate strategies — so median LCP stays under 1.5 s even on flash-sale days. Conversion follows speed, every time.

02

Search and merchandising as products

Algolia, Klevu or Searchspring are tuned with synonyms, business rules and merchandising overrides — and reviewed monthly with the merchandising team. Search becomes a revenue channel, not a fallback for a broken nav.

03

Checkout you actually own

Tokenised payments, address auto-complete, wallet integrations and a one-page checkout flow — built on PCI-SAQ-A scope, so security review stays cheap and compliance stays simple.

04

Integrations that don’t drift

ERP, OMS, loyalty and reviews are wired with idempotent contracts, dead-letter queues and replay tooling. Inventory stays accurate, orders stop disappearing, and your operations team gets their evenings back.

— Principles

How we make decisions.

Four non-negotiables that govern every engineering choice we make — from stack selection to incident response.

Principle 01

AI-assisted code review

Every pull request runs static analysis and ML-pattern checks before a human reviewer sees it — so engineers spend their review time on logic, not linting.

Principle 02

Observability first

Structured logs, distributed traces, RUM and alerting are wired in from sprint one. When something breaks at 2 a.m., the on-call has the full picture in seconds — not a blank Datadog screen.

Principle 03

Outcome-tied KPIs

Every sprint is reviewed against the business metric it was meant to move — conversion rate, latency, error budget — not story points or lines of code delivered.

Principle 04

Resilient architecture

Graceful degradation, idempotent retries, dead-letter queues and circuit breakers are default patterns, not afterthoughts. Systems that fail quietly are more dangerous than systems that fail loudly.

— Engagement Models

Three ways to work with us.
