Embracing Composable Commerce gives brands the control to customize, accelerate change and reduce TCO. But designing, integrating, and launching the frontend experience can be a daunting and overwhelming task that can take months to complete. Should you build your own frontend experience, outsource the build to an SI, or choose an all-in-one platform that comes complete with an integrated frontend experience? Unfortunately, choosing the latter with a legacy platform leads to mediocre functionality, slow site speed, a bloated frontend, and decreased customer engagement.
That is why at Elastic Path we are excited to launch our Composable Frontend. Composable Frontend eliminates these problems and de-risks the frontend build of a Composable Commerce approach.
I sat down with our Senior Director of Product Management David Stover to learn more about Composable Frontend.

Q: What is Composable Frontend? A: Simply put, Composable Frontend is a frontend that can be composed using a simple build tool. Brands simply answer a few simple configuration questions and Composable Frontend automatically and quickly builds a reusable modular, Next.js frontend, pre-integrated with Elastic Path and best-of-breed backend vendors. Our previously announced D2C Starter Kit is one output of the Composable Frontend framework.The frontend includes elegantly designed, ready to use (and re-use) components for the Homepage, PLP, PDP, Cart and Checkout. It currently supports EP Product Experience Manager (PXM) functionality including bundles, variations and standard product types.Composable Frontend includes pre-built integrations to Algolia Search, EP Payments and Braintree Payments with more integrations coming soon. Brands can also rest assured that business-model specific requirements (like account management and multi-cart) for B2B are included in Composable Frontend.
