What headless commerce changes
In a headless setup, the storefront uses APIs to get product, cart, and order information from a commerce system. That gives developers more control over the front end and can help when a business has unusual content or buying flows.
The trade-off is another layer to build and maintain. Previewing content, checkout behavior, analytics, and customer accounts all need deliberate planning.
If a hosted store already handles the catalog and checkout well, a headless build may add complexity without solving a real problem. Start with the feature the current setup cannot support.
