This allows both halves of an ecommerce system to function independently of one another, using APIs to deliver essential commerce services and experiences to customers quickly. Using APIs improves flexibility to power a wide range of omnichannel scenarios, commerce-enable any system, application, or IoT device, and seamlessly integrate with any CMS.
