Pragmatic Composability is an approach to developing and evolving e-commerce, which aims to use the native resources of a headless e-commerce platform to create and maintain an online store. Furthermore, it aims to complement the store gradually and as needed with more efficient and/or customized third-party or proprietary applications. Pragmatic Composability VTEX is this approach applied within the context of the VTEX platform. Learn more below!

DISCOVER THE VTEX PRAGMATIC COMPOSABILITY APPROACH

The emergence of headless platforms , which allow the back-end and front-end of an online store to evolve separately; and composable commerce , which makes it possible to scale a store by coupling it with third-party applications, gives merchants like you the idea that you will have unlimited freedom when creating an e-commerce business. But the reality is not quite like that.

In fact, there is complete freedom to create. But not so much to maintain. This is because the technologies that you come to integrate into your e-commerce platform can be expensive, require maintenance and advanced technical training, among other factors. In other words, they bring costs that can bring down rather than boost your e-commerce.

Fortunately, you, the merchant, can overcome this by adopting VTEX’s Pragmatic Composability approach. With this development approach, you can use the excellent native features of the VTEX platform to run your world-class online store. Meanwhile, you can still selectively, thoughtfully, and gradually implement and customize third-party or proprietary applications to strengthen only what is strictly necessary.

VTEX native features

Implement the VTEX Pragmatic Composability approach and evolve your online store in a sensible way. Start by using the excellent native features of the VTEX platform, including, for example:

  • Content Management System (CMS) for content management front-end;
  • Continuous deployments with continuous updates and monitoring;

  • Advanced Security with continuous security testing against cybercrime;
  • PCI Certification for operations of checkout in your online store;
  • B2B for you to sell to other companies (wholesale, marketplace);
  • B2C for you to sell to end consumers (retail);
  • Open APIs for integrations.
