Technical Content Writercommercetools is the world’s leading digital commerce platform. Hailed as the pioneers of headless commerce, it is a cloud-based platform that provides APIs to power e-commerce. It allows you to create powerful, highly customized shopping experiences.
Frontastic is a leading composable frontend platform. It empowers retailers to build amazing ecommerce sites with its API hub that has standard integrations for headless services. It has a creation and delivery layer for headless CMS and commerce solutions enabling faster and easier development.
With its frontend-as-a-service, Frontastic delivers a Progressive Web App (PWA) that will enable businesses to provide its users engaging frontend experiences across all touchpoints. The Frontend Editor, with its drag, drop, and configure elements, enables the business to publish and maintain pages without any coding. Most importantly, Frontastic ensures flexibility, autonomy, and faster time to market.
Our acquisition of Frontastic allows mid-size customers to use our product, with an experience that offers the time to market of an “all-in-a-box” solution, while also providing a full MACH-based platform that’s also composable. Also, adding Frontastic to our portfolio allows larger enterprises to quickly deploy us for smaller countries, lines of business, etc, but still have the freedom to build their flagship .com. For example, many of our larger retailers have an outlet brand or specific frontends for Canada. With our acquisition of Frontastic, the most flexible commerce platform can also be the easiest to use.”

Frontastic will be the perfect “head” for headless commerce. The important features of Frontastic are:
commercetools has acquired Frontastic as part of their plans to adopt a larger portfolio-based strategy. The future of commerce will be increasingly commoditized and available in granular composable pieces. Composable commerce allows to mix and match different components from different vendors easily. Transactional commerce sites with compound data and process structures, high traffic, and turnover will hugely benefit from integrating commercetools with Frontastic.
