We build headless commerce architectures for brands and businesses in Noida and Delhi NCR — decoupling the storefront from the commerce backend so your product experience, performance, and content strategy are not constrained by the limitations of a monolithic eCommerce platform template.
Web Development Service #33 / 58
A monolithic eCommerce platform gives you one frontend — the theme — and every brand on the platform looks and performs within the same constraints. Headless commerce separates the frontend (what your customer sees and interacts with) from the commerce backend (products, pricing, cart, checkout, and orders), letting you build exactly the product experience your brand requires while connecting to best-in-class commerce infrastructure for each function.
Marketing Wise has delivered 14+ headless commerce builds for premium D2C brands, content-heavy lifestyle retailers, multi-channel commerce operations, and brands that need a storefront performance standard that monolithic platforms cannot reach. Our headless builds use Next.js for the storefront (server-side rendering for SEO, edge caching for performance), a composable backend connecting best-in-class APIs for commerce, content, search, and personalisation, and a custom checkout that is optimised specifically for Indian payment behaviour.
The business case for headless commerce is conversion and retention at scale. A Next.js storefront with edge caching achieves sub-1-second page loads on Indian mobile networks — the standard Shopify theme on the same connection takes 3–5 seconds. Google's core web vitals directly affect search ranking; headless builds consistently outperform monolithic stores on LCP and CLS. For brands spending on paid acquisition, the conversion improvement from a faster, more controlled frontend pays back the headless build investment within one to three quarters of traffic at scale.

No mystery phases. Four gates every headless commerce engagement crosses — from architecture decision to live storefront.
We audit your current platform, traffic, conversion data, content requirements, and channel roadmap. The commerce backend decision (headless Shopify, Medusa.js, or custom) is made based on your existing investment and future requirements. The frontend architecture (Next.js rendering strategy per page type, CMS selection, edge caching approach) is designed. A Core Web Vitals target is set before build begins.
Homepage, collection pages, product pages, search, cart, and the custom checkout are built in Next.js. CMS integration for editorial content is configured. Performance is measured at each sprint against the target Core Web Vitals scores. The full purchase flow is tested end-to-end on physical iOS and Android devices on a 4G connection.
Edge personalisation, product recommendation engine, loyalty integration, ERP or OMS integration, and additional channel frontends (mobile app or in-store kiosk) are built. A full SEO audit is conducted — metadata, structured data, sitemap, and canonical URLs are verified before go-live.
A pre-launch performance audit measures LCP, CLS, and FID on real devices. Load testing at 5x peak traffic is conducted. SEO migration plan is executed — redirects, sitemap submission, Search Console configuration. The storefront goes live with monitoring on Core Web Vitals, conversion rate, and error rate from day one.
Mobile PageSpeed score improved from 38 to 91. LCP reduced from 4.8 seconds to 0.9 seconds on 4G. Checkout conversion rate improved from 2.1% to 3.7% within 60 days of launch. Organic search traffic grew 44% within 4 months as the Core Web Vitals improvements flowed through to Google ranking.
The brand's Shopify theme was slow on mobile (LCP 4.8 seconds), limiting conversion on their primary traffic source (Instagram ads targeting mobile users). The brand's editorial identity — high-production photography, immersive collection stories, and custom product presentation — could not be achieved within the theme's constraints without significant visual compromise.
We built a headless Next.js storefront connected to Shopify's Storefront API, keeping the brand's existing Shopify admin, apps, and fulfilment. The storefront was designed and built from scratch with the brand's visual identity — full-bleed editorial pages, custom product page layout with zoom, video, and 360-degree view, and a checkout flow optimised for UPI and COD.

New channel launch time reduced from estimated 6 months (separate build per channel) to 6 weeks (new frontend connecting to the shared commerce API). Inventory accuracy improved to 99.8% with real-time sync across all channels. The in-store kiosk enabled customers to browse the full online catalogue in-store, increasing average transaction value by 28% as customers accessed items not physically stocked at that location.
The retailer ran separate systems for their website (Shopify), mobile app (a different vendor's build), and in-store operations (standalone POS). Inventory was managed separately per channel, leading to availability discrepancies and overselling. Adding a fourth channel (a kiosk in their new flagship store) would have required a fourth separate integration.
We built a composable commerce backend (Medusa.js) with a unified product catalogue, inventory, and order management API. A Next.js website, React Native mobile app, and React-based in-store kiosk all consume the same API. Inventory is unified — a sale on any channel deducts from the same stock. New channels connect to the shared API without touching the commerce backend.

Personalised product quiz drove 31% of first-time purchase sessions — the highest-converting entry point on the site. Returning customer personalisation (showing recently viewed, complementary, and replenishment-due products on homepage) increased repeat purchase rate from 29% to 44% within 3 months. Site speed improvement from LCP 5.1s to 1.1s contributed to a 38% improvement in paid acquisition ROAS.
The brand's core product discovery challenge was that beauty products require guidance — a first-time customer does not know which of 60 SKUs is right for their skin type and concerns. The Shopify theme could not support an interactive product quiz that recommended SKUs and pre-filled the cart. Returning customer personalisation was impossible within the theme system.
We built a headless Next.js storefront with a custom interactive skin quiz (6 questions, result-driven SKU recommendation, one-click add to cart), returning customer personalisation at the edge using segment cookies, a custom CMS-driven editorial section on the homepage, and the full commerce backend on a custom Node.js API with Razorpay checkout.

"They delivered our platform in 12 weeks, on budget and exactly to spec. Weekly demos kept us informed at every stage and the final product matched the requirements document line by line."
"The API architecture they designed handles our peak load without breaking a sweat. We have had zero downtime in eight months of production. The codebase is clean, documented, and our internal team can extend it independently."
"We evaluated three development agencies before choosing Marketing Wise. Their scoping process was the most rigorous — they produced a requirements document that found two gaps we had not identified ourselves."
"The backend they built scaled from 500 to 15,000 daily active users in six months without a single architecture change. That kind of headroom built into the design is rare from an agency engagement."
"Post-launch support was exceptional. They flagged and fixed two edge cases we had not anticipated within 24 hours. The handover package — source code, infra docs, runbook — meant our team could take ownership immediately."

"Custom software built around your exact workflow — not a template, not a shortcut. Engineered to scale, secured from the ground up, and yours outright."
Marketing Wise builds headless commerce platforms for brands in Noida and Delhi NCR — Next.js storefronts with edge caching, composable commerce backends (Shopify Storefront API, Medusa.js, or custom), headless CMS integration, UPI-optimised checkout, and omnichannel API layers serving web, mobile, and in-store from one backend. Fourteen headless builds delivered.
A headless Next.js storefront connected to an existing Shopify backend starts at ₹8 lakhs. Full composable commerce builds with a custom or Medusa.js commerce backend, headless CMS, custom checkout, personalisation, and mobile app connected to the same API range from ₹15–35 lakhs depending on channel count and feature scope.
A headless frontend for an existing Shopify backend takes 10–12 weeks. Full composable commerce builds with a new commerce engine, headless CMS, custom checkout, and multiple channels take 16–20 weeks. Core Web Vitals optimisation and edge personalisation add 2–3 weeks to any build.
Yes. Headless Shopify uses the Storefront API to query products, collections, cart, and checkout from a Next.js frontend while the Shopify admin remains unchanged for product management, orders, fulfilment, and apps. Your team continues to manage the store in Shopify — only the customer-facing storefront changes. This is the lowest-risk headless path for brands already on Shopify.
In most cases, yes. Google's Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID) are a confirmed ranking factor. Headless Next.js storefronts consistently achieve Core Web Vitals scores that Shopify themes cannot match on mobile — primarily because Next.js enables server-side rendering with edge caching while Shopify themes load client-side JavaScript that delays rendering. The SEO benefit is most pronounced for category and product pages, which are the pages competing for organic commercial traffic.
Yes. The headless architecture's API-first design makes ERP and OMS integration straightforward — the commerce backend calls your ERP's API for inventory updates and order pushes, and the ERP calls the commerce backend's webhook for payment confirmation and fulfilment updates. We have built headless integrations with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, and custom ERPs. The integration layer sits between the commerce backend and the ERP, not at the frontend level.
