Ecommerce is the number one industry to adopt headless CMS. A good ecommerce CMS must integrate with the typically deep tech stack that runs an e-commerce business. This is why a headless CMS makes the best ecommerce CMS. Headless commerce as it’s often described is where you use a headless CMS to connect to an e-commerce platform. The headless CMS gives your content team more performance, speed, and control over the images, text, and layouts that deeply affect your conversion rates and SEO. ButterCMS is built to do this for both your development & content teams.
