Explained: Headless checkout

At Afosto, we have a feature for webshops called headless checkout. In short, headless checkout is a concept where the front-end (user interface) and back-end (server-side) of a webshop's checkout process are separated, providing more customization and flexibility in designing the user experience. The webshop communicates with the Afosto platform via GraphQL APIs to create a shopping cart, which then transitions into the checkout process. This entire process can be monitored in the Afosto back-end, where the customer's final order will also be visible.
