Best-of-Breed, Not One-Size-Fits-All
**Composable Commerce** is the idea of assembling an E-Commerce stack using independent, best-in-class components (microservices) via APIs, rather than buying a monolithic platform.
Why Composable?
US retailers want to pick the best search engine, the best personalization tool, the best cart – and make them work together. It gives them agility to swap out components as better ones emerge, without a full replatforming.
Key Components
- Headless CMS
- Headless Commerce Engine (like Commercetools)
- Search API (like Algolia)
- Personalization API
- Payment Gateway (like Stripe)
The MACH Alliance
This industry group (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, Headless) champions the shift towards composable architectures in the US and globally.
