Integrations

Your digital landscape consists of more than just a webshop. It includes an ecosystem of specialized tools and systems that each excel in their specific function. With a traditional, monolithic platform, you are often limited to the built-in functionalities or a handful of predefined integrations. Headless ecommerce completely breaks this limitation and opens the door to a world of 'best-of-breed' integrations. This composable approach opens up possibilities for continuous improvement.

The true power of headless lies in the ability to choose the very best tool for every aspect of your customer experience and seamlessly integrate it into your frontend. The Odoo backend remains your reliable 'single source of truth' for all inventory, customer, and order data, but the presentation and interaction are enriched with specialized, leading solutions:

  • Content Management Systems (CMS): Forget the limitations of a built-in CMS. With a headless frontend, you can easily connect top-tier CMS systems like Storyblok, Strapi, Contentful, or LexasCMS. This gives your marketing team unprecedented freedom to create and publish rich content, from inspiring landing pages to dynamic blog posts, all managed from one intuitive environment.
  • Advanced Search & Merchandising: The search function and product presentation are crucial for conversion. A headless setup allows you to integrate specialized solutions like Algolia,Clerk.io, Relewise, or Luigisbox directly. This means lightning-fast search results, personalized recommendations, intelligent filtering, and advanced merchandising capabilities that enhance the customer experience.
  • Flexible Payment Providers: The checkout must be smooth and secure, with options that align with your customers' preferences. You are no longer bound to a limited selection; seamlessly integrate with leading Payment Providers like Stripe, Adyen, or Mollie to ensure an optimal payment experience.
  • Product Information Management (PIM): Although there is currently no out-of-the-box connector for a separate PIM system, the headless architecture gives you the freedom to implement a future custom integration with a PIM if needed. Odoo can already serve as a very powerful PIM.

This unprecedented flexibility in frontend integrations means that your e-commerce platform is never stuck. You can constantly choose the best tools that perfectly match your specific business needs, innovate without limitations, and create a digital experience that is far ahead of your competition.
