The realm of eCommerce has experienced a massive change in the past few years. According to figures from the US Department of Commerce Retail Indicator Division the sales of eCommerce in the US reached $870 billion by 2022. This is a 14.2 percentage increase over the year 2020 and a staggering 50.5 percent increase over the year prior.
The habits of customers have changed since the public has been exposed to myriad of new platforms through which they can go online for shopping. Today, potential customers can look through the social media profiles of a company through Instagram or TikTok, switch to the catalogue of top items, and then head to the main site to complete their purchase.
With buyers being able to go through the entire buyer's journey using their tablets or smartphones as well as having access to a myriad of new ways to interact with them, the digital experience that they receive has never been more crucial.
To provide the most engaging experiences that attract visitors to make them customers, brands require an immersive and high-quality front-end interface. Companies that choose to go headless have the benefit of selling across multiple channels, but aren't able to deliver an engaging front-end experience for their customers. This is where the idea of the Front-end as a Service enters the scene.
