Headless commerce for enterprise

Any screen. One commerce engine.

Build the front end your brand needs in the stack your team already knows: a web storefront, a mobile app, a store kiosk or an AI shopping agent. Every one runs on the same Tanqory catalog, cart and checkout, and the AI-native admin takes the routine work off your team.

  • An open storefront APIProducts, collections, search, cart and checkout over one GraphQL endpoint.
  • One back end for every channelCatalog, stock, orders and customers stay in one admin, whatever the front end.
  • AI that takes the routine workThe assistant writes product copy and makes changes in the admin when you confirm.

Your stack

Call it from the tools your team already uses

The storefront API is plain GraphQL over HTTPS, so any language or framework that can send a request can build on it: React and Next.js on the web, Swift and Kotlin in apps.

How headless works

Your front ends. Our commerce engine.

Headless keeps the buying experience apart from the commerce behind it. Your team designs every screen; Tanqory runs the catalog, prices, cart, checkout and orders that every screen calls.

Why headless on Tanqory

Freedom on the front end, one engine behind it

Brands go headless to design without limits. On Tanqory they keep one catalog and one set of orders for every front end, and keep every sale's margin.

    Sell on any screen

    Web, app, kiosk or an AI shopping agent: each calls the same storefront API, so a new channel is a new front end, not a new platform.

    Build with your own tools

    Your developers work in the frameworks they know. One request returns the product, its price and its stock, ready to render.

  • Control every pixel

    No template sets the limits. Design the product page, the cart and the flow your brand needs, and change them on your own release schedule.

    One back end for every channel

    Stock, orders and customers from every front end land in one admin, so operations work one list, not four.

Headless or themes

Go fully headless, or start from a React theme

Not every front end needs to be built from scratch. Tanqory themes are already React and TypeScript, so a team can start from one and still change any line.

  • Themes are React and TypeScript, server rendered at the edge

  • Every theme stays editable in the visual editor for your merchandisers

  • Every Tanqory theme is free, on every plan

  • Ask AI to generate a whole theme or edit its code in Studio

  • Work from your terminal with the Tanqory CLI

Developer tools

Build your way

Read the catalog, fill a cart and hand off to checkout from your own code, or let a coding agent do the groundwork.

One query for what the page needs

Ask for exactly the fields a screen shows: title, stock, image and price in the buyer's currency.

AI native

Less routine work for every team behind the front end

A headless build adds front ends, not headcount. The assistant does the everyday admin work and asks before it changes anything, and everyday AI work uses no credits.

  • Changes made for you

    Ask for a change in plain words. The assistant drafts it in the admin and applies it when you confirm, across products, inventory, discounts and more.

  • Product copy for every front end

    AI writes product copy from your own product details and generates product images, so a new front end does not wait on a copy queue.

  • Ready for AI shopping agents

    Every store speaks the Universal Commerce Protocol, so AI shopping agents can discover, browse and buy from the same catalog your front ends use.

One brand, every front end

One catalog behind every counter

Kestrel Run, a running brand, runs a Next.js storefront, an app and kiosks in its Chicago and London stores. Store staff and the web team work from the same products, stock and orders.

  • A kiosk is one more front end on the storefront API

  • A launch discount set once in the admin shows on every screen at once

  • A buyer orders on the app and collects at the counter with the same account

Common questions

An engineering lead explains a plan to a colleague at a long table in a bright office, a whiteboard of boxes and arrows behind them.

What is headless commerce?

Headless commerce keeps the front end that buyers see apart from the commerce engine behind it. Your team builds the storefront, app or kiosk in any stack, and each one calls Tanqory's storefront API for products, carts and checkout.

Which frameworks can we use?

Any that can send an HTTPS request. The storefront API is GraphQL, so a Next.js or React storefront, a Swift or Kotlin app and a kiosk can all use it. Our SDK and the Tanqory CLI help JavaScript and TypeScript teams start faster.

Do we have to go fully headless?

No. Every Tanqory theme is free and built in React and TypeScript, server rendered at the edge and editable in the visual editor. Many teams start from a theme and build headless front ends only where they need them.

Is there a transaction fee on headless orders?

No. Every plan has a 0% transaction fee with any payment provider you connect, including Stripe, PayPal and Braintree, on every front end. You pay your provider's own rate, and we never mark it up.

Can AI shopping agents buy from our store?

Every store speaks the Universal Commerce Protocol, so AI shopping agents can discover, browse and buy. Product feeds also go to ChatGPT, Google Merchant Center, Meta and TikTok from one settings page.

Can our coding agents work with the store?

Yes. Connect Claude and other AI assistants through the Tanqory MCP server with a secure sign-in, and build themes from your coding agent with the Tanqory CLI and the theme developer MCP.

Can we take our data out?

Yes. Export products, customers, orders, discounts, catalogs, analytics and tax reports as CSV whenever you need them, and read the same data through the open APIs.
