The 15 best Headless tools in eCommerce

Headless

Tools for eCommerce

The headless space is moving fast. The technologies are evolving everyday and the move away from monolithic stores is happening faster than ever, in large part due to Shopify’s latest Hydrogen offering. To set up a headless store, you’ll need a strong stack. Some parts will power the CMS (like Sanity) and others will control the frontend like Pack. Others will do a bit of both like Builder. Here are all the tools you should know.
