What is headless commerce?

Headless commerce is an architecture that decouples a commerce system’s “head”, or front end – the customer-facing storefront including images and text – from back-end commerce functions. Headless commerce systems allow organizations to rapidly iterate the user experience to optimize customer journeys and increase conversion.

Using the Pylot framework, Corra has built more than 20 headless ecommerce systems for high-volume online consumer and B2B clients including Jomashop, Elemis, HMTX, Lifelines, Assa Abloy, Al Fakher, Happy Chef, Mud Pie, Salt Life, Tacony and Super ATV.

Take a deep dive into the technology.

Radical flexibility, rapid innovation, and cost-effective scaling

Whatever comes next in commerce, you’ll be ready with the Pylot framework. Its composable MACH architecture leverages Microservices, APIs, Cloud, and Headless technology, so you can use the best solution for any component of your stack.

Modular

Compose a flexible technology stack, including a Jamstack for your frontend, a headless CMS to manage content, and microservices for delivering data from your ERP,CRM, and other data sources.Scale components independently and replace or upgrade them without disruption to the overall application.

Open Ecosystem

Pylot exclusively employs industry standard open-source libraries and frameworks.   Leverage widely available developer skill sets and minimize vendor lock-in.

BUSINESS-centric

Pylot’s decoupled architecture empowers marketing and product teams to independently iterate and test new customer experiences driving growth, mitigating risk and accelerating time-to-value — independently of IT.

Once we’ve built your commerce platform, you own the code, with no licensing fees. 
But you’re not on your own: you’re backed by a full-service digital commerce agency for the long term.

Proven. Scalable.
Enterprise-ready.

Corra’s Pylot framework is used by major online merchants including leading brands, omnichannel retailers, and B2B wholesalers and suppliers. Over 200,000 SKUs in your catalog? No problem. Three million page views on Black Friday? Been there, done that.

Deploy Pylot to production in any modern hosting environment: on-premise, private or public cloud, or hybrid models.
