As one of the latest trends in e-commerce, you may feel as though you’re hearing the words ‘composable commerce’ everywhere – at conferences, in webinars, in articles, in conversations with your peers.
It’s important to understand that composable commerce isn’t a silver bullet and it’s not right for every company.
Most presentations and discussions position composable commerce as a better option compared to a traditional digital commerce platform.

It’s important to understand that composable commerce isn’t a silver bullet and it’s not right for every company. It all comes down to how your business is structured, your organizational readiness, your technology resources and expertise, and future business models.
In fact, it may be that a composed (i.e. pre-packaged and pre-connected modules in a composable setup) or traditional commerce solution is a better fit for your business.
For example, if your business model requires you to regularly add or replace the key components of your commerce platform then a composable or composed solution is the best option. But if you need to go live quickly with a solid platform then a traditional setup might be preferable.
