Composable commerce with Shopify

Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms where all the features are closely integrated, Composable Commerce breaks down the various features of an e-commerce platform into independent and interchangeable building blocks.

According to Gartner, a leading research and advisory company, composable applications will accelerate business innovation with commerce being an important domain.

Composable Commerce Principles:

1. Modularity: The commerce platform is decomposed into individual packages or components, each responsible for specific functions such as product management, cart, payment processing, search etc.
2. API-First: Each component in Composable Commerce has well-defined APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), allowing seamless communication and integration with other components, as well as with external systems and services.
3. Flexibility: Businesses can choose and integrate the components that suit their needs and requirements. This enables us to change a component rather than platform if something doesn’t work.
4. Scalability: Composable Commerce architectures are designed to be scalable, allowing businesses to easily scale like expanding to new markets or adding new channels. It uses auto-scaling to handle the additional traffic during cases like festive sale.
5. Tech Agnostic: Composable components are designed to work together seamlessly, irrespective of the technology or platform they are built on. Ex integration with ERP, CMS or LMS.
