Product Description

The Headless Commerce Software Requirements comprise essential features and functionality enterprises seek in a new generation API-based, Mobile-first, Cloud-Native, and Headless commerce platform.

Headless Commerce software is one of the critical foundations in an increasingly digital future as shopping trends shift from brick-and-mortar to online buying. However, in traditional eCommerce, there is a tight coupling between the back and front end, thus engendering inflexibility and lack of dynamism necessary in an omnichannel landscape.

Researchers estimate the market size for Headless CMS approaching 25% of the $5 trillion eCommerce software market. Hence, it is a strategic imperative for most companies to consider a Headless eCommerce presence.

While evaluating competing Headless CMS/Commerce software tools, a pre-built and customizable features and functionality list helps avoid countless whiteboarding sessions or relying on business domain experts to document every last bit of Headless Commerce functionality. So often, requirements elicitation is lengthy, with companies spending significant time on basic requirements. A pre-built list lets you jumpstart the process and focus on differentiating features unique to your company.

As a project manager or a business analyst, your role is to capture the critical business needs that necessitate the implementation of a new software platform. A comprehensive list of pre-built requirements allows you to start from a strong baseline and customize it to your company’s unique needs.

An enterprise’s typical requirements in Headless Commerce Software are listed in several categories and amount to about 60 functional features. It also includes about 100 non-functional requirements. The deliverable consists of brief descriptions of each of the features and functions. The goal is to offer a customizable, comprehensive list to allow you to tailor it to your enterprise needs. Please feel free to add, modify, delete or combine the list of items.

In addition, we also provide a simple template with a list of top e-commerce software platforms to enable you to conduct a comparative evaluation. The template is a starting point and does not cover all the Headless Commerce software solutions. You may include and exclude the Headless eCommerce Platforms that are under consideration.

The Headless eCommerce Software Business Requirements can be used as a starting point for issuing an RFP (Request for Proposal), evaluating competing Headless Commerce tools, and as a springboard for documenting business and technical requirements.

Why should you pay for Headless eCommerce Software Requirements?

Good question. Much information is available online – vendor websites, vendor review directories, and analyst reports. Vendor websites are primarily for promoting their wares. Many review websites focus on the overall experience and broad capabilities, not detailed features and functions. Analysts’ reports are expensive and do not provide fine-grain feature listings. Furthermore, if you and your team were to scrape and compile information from external sources, and conduct whiteboard requirements sessions internally, the time, effort, and expense would be exponentially expensive. Our features and functionality matrix provides a springboard for you to customize and tailor to your specific use cases and needs.
