AI-Powered Search for Headless Commerce
Build lightning-fast, intelligent search experiences for any headless storefront. Sparq's API-first architecture integrates seamlessly with Shopify Hydrogen, commercetools, Medusa, Saleor, and any custom stack-delivering enterprise-grade product discovery.
What is Headless Commerce?
Headless commerce is an architectural approach that separates the frontend presentation layer (what customers see and interact with) from the backend commerce engine (where business logic, inventory, and orders are managed). Instead of being tightly coupled in a single platform, these layers communicate through APIs.
Think of traditional ecommerce platforms as a complete package where the storefront design, checkout flow, and backend systems are all bundled together. Change one thing, and you might break another. Headless commerce breaks this dependency.
How it works:
Traditional Commerce
Headless Commerce
Why brands choose headless:
Complete design freedom
Build exactly the experience you envision using React, Next.js, Vue, or any frontend technology. No template limitations, no theme constraints.
Faster performance
Optimized frontends with modern frameworks deliver sub-second page loads. Server-side rendering, static generation, and edge caching become possible.
Omnichannel ready
The same backend can power your website, mobile app, in-store kiosk, voice assistant, and any future channel-all through APIs.
Best-of-breed stack
Choose the best solution for each function: the best CMS, the best search, the best payments. No compromises because your platform doesn't support something.
Independent scaling
Scale frontend and backend separately based on demand. Update your storefront without touching commerce logic.
Future-proof architecture
Swap any component without rebuilding everything. As technology evolves, your stack evolves with it.
