BigCommerce Headless Commerce

What is BigCommerce 
Headless Commerce?

BigCommerce Headless Commerce separates the frontend from the backend, allowing businesses to create fully customized, high-performance storefronts using modern frameworks like React, Next.js, or Vue.js. While BigCommerce manages core eCommerce functions—products, orders, and payments—the frontend can be built independently, giving brands full control over design and user experience.

With BigCommerce’s powerful APIs, merchants can integrate multiple digital touchpoints, from websites to mobile apps, while seamlessly connecting with third-party tools like CRMs, ERPs, and PIMs. Catalyst offers a cloud-native, flexible framework built for modern eCommerce, allowing businesses to scale faster with API-driven modular components that manage search, checkout, and content without being tied to a rigid system. Merchants can build and refine their storefronts without platform constraints, enhancing both performance and user engagement.
