Headless commerce is an architecture where the frontend customer experience (website, app, kiosk) is decoupled from the backend commerce and payment processing systems, connected only through APIs.
How It Works
Headless Commerce is an important concept in modern payment processing. Understanding it helps businesses choose the right payment methods and technologies for their customers.
Relevance to Phone Payments
While headless commerce may primarily relate to other payment channels, businesses that accept payments across multiple channels — including phone — benefit from understanding how different payment methods complement each other.
Paytia's platform supports businesses across multiple payment channels. For phone payments specifically, Paytia's secure platform complements headless commerce by covering the voice channel where customers prefer to pay by phone.
