With the announcement of Salesforce's Composable Storefront cloud offering, Valtech is unveiling our new Readiness Assessment to help brands go headless fast.

 

Salesforce Composable Storefront

On August 8, at eTail East, Salesforce announced Composable Storefront, a fully-customizable, headless digital storefront that gives online retailers the ability to make site changes with the speed and flexibility needed to increase sales, conversions and basket size, while helping to drive down costs.

Salesforce also introduced pre-built packages made specifically for headless implementations and use cases with commerce partners. This includes best-in-class integrations, pricing and implementation accelerators from across the Salesforce ecosystem, all anchored by Commerce Cloud.

Why It’s Important

Retailers desire adaptable and flexible commerce sites that can keep up with evolving customer preferences. Headless commerce separates the front end and back end of an e-commerce solution, enabling brands to quickly and affordably customize digital storefronts without disrupting the shopping experience.

According to the latest Salesforce State of Commerce Report, retailers are investing in headless commerce to drive growth:

  • 77% of commerce organizations that have implemented headless architecture say it gives them increased agility by allowing them to make changes to their storefront quickly.
  • 80% of businesses that don’t currently have headless commerce technology plan to implement it in the next two years

The Salesforce perspective: Scot Gillespie, GM of Commerce Cloud, said:

With customers expecting both engaging and seamless ecommerce experiences, headless architecture can help online retailers build and implement site changes with speed and agility.

Driving the News

With Salesforce Composable Storefront, Commerce Cloud customers can implement a headless commerce strategy without exposing themselves to significant overhead or complex development issues. Businesses are empowered to:

  • Supercharge storefront performance and engagement with a fast, app-like site experience. The Progressive Web App technology decreases page load time and minimizes disruption for online shoppers.
  • Speed time to value and reduce total cost of ownership for headless commerce architecture with pre-packaged integrations, pricing, and accelerators in partnership with Commerce Cloud’s trusted ecosystem. Using these packages, merchants can easily build composable and engaging experiences with advanced search and content, helping reduce time spent on sourcing vendors, negotiating pricing and building custom integrations.
  • Take control of the brand experience and drive differentiation by seamlessly incorporating functionality like AR, chatbots, and social media features to create rich shopping experiences.
  • Ship new features and updates daily with 60-second deployments. This eliminates deployment risk, giving developers the freedom to iterate and add new features at any time—even during peak shopping periods.


According to the Salesforce State of Commerce Report, the top three sectors most likely to adopt headless in the coming years are health and beauty, food and beverage, and communications and media.
