This guide will give you an overview of a composable commerce architecture and show you how Elastic Path is delivering on the promise of composability.
A flexible, modular solution means you can quickly launch and change experiences to meet customer expectations and business requirements.
Composability is all about bringing your unique business vision to life by replacing generic “out-of-the-box” functionality with best-for-me solutions that fit your complex business requirements.
A composable architecture empowers your tech team to make changes to existing technology or add new technology without disrupting your entire commerce solution.
Reduce resource cost by leveraging any developer talent, not just platform specialists. Composability eliminates the need to pay double for mediocre platform technology and preferred third-party technology.
CX Studio brings commerce, content, and customer data together for business users to quickly orchestrate unique frontend experiences that drive business growth without reliance on IT.
The Unplatform™ builds on the foundations of composable commerce but goes further by making it accessible for all brands with modular, standalone products and a connective framework.
According to Gartner’s 2022 Hype Cycle Digital Commerce report, “Composable commerce is an architectural approach to digital commerce whereby applications are constructed with packaged business capabilities (PBCs). It is a modular approach that requires loosely coupled application capabilities, which are used to compose new commerce functionality and experiences. This approach contrasts with a platform-centric approach, in which monolithic commerce platforms are deployed to manage most aspects of the commerce customer experience.”
While “headless” is a component of composable commerce, a headless commerce solution is simply powered through the decoupling of the frontend presentation layer from the backend commerce engine layer. Essentially, composable commerce is the holistic approach of getting away from cookie-cutter out-of-the-box functionality for eCommerce and headless is just one element to that approach.
Whereas traditional, platform approaches to commerce offer rigid, all-in-one functionality that is cumbersome and expensive to customize per your unique business requirements, composable commerce empowers brands with the flexibility to design and launch the experiences that “wow” customers and outpace the competition. With composable commerce brands can:
Composable commerce is the only approach to commerce that was built with both speed and flexibility in mind. It is the only approach for brands who are committed to keeping up with their customers' demands with engaging experiences. According to Becoming Composable: A Gartner® Trend Insight Report, By 2026, Gartner predicts the speed of digital innovation will improve by 60%, relative to 2022, for organizations that have established mechanisms to reuse composable digital commerce modules.
Composer de-risks composable commerce by making it faster, easier, and less expensive to build, launch, host and manage a multi-vendor commerce solution.
