$HEADLESS SYSTEMS

Commerce

E-commerce platforms exposing catalog, cart, checkout, order, and customer workflows over APIs. Includes both products marketed as 'headless commerce' and traditional e-commerce suites with comprehensive API surfaces. For agents, commerce readiness means the entire purchase path is callable: browse and search the catalog, build a cart, apply promotions, complete checkout, and track fulfillment without a hosted storefront. The gap between vendors is widest at checkout and payment, where many platforms still assume a human at a rendered page. A commerce backend is agent-ready when an autonomous buyer can transact end to end through the API alone.
