A self-initiated concept build by Windson — Headless E-Commerce System, on Next.js, Stripe, GraphQL, built to test the approach rather than for a client.
The brief we set ourselves: a mid-size retailer stuck on a legacy Magento stack — 6.8-second load times, heavy checkout drop-off, and inventory that drifts out of sync across five regional distribution hubs. We wanted to find out how far a headless architecture could actually push that.
We built a serverless headless commerce platform. Next.js App Router handles dynamic routing and edge pre-rendering; GraphQL endpoints federate inventory across the hubs in real time; Stripe drives a localised multi-currency checkout, with Vercel Edge Middleware resolving geolocation before the page renders.
A reference build for storefront speed — architected so the page is ready before the shopper is.
SYSTEM DELIVERABLES
What we actually built, and why each piece had to exist. Nothing here is a mockup — the concept was taken far enough to prove the approach works.
Headless Storefront Development
A Next.js application built and measured against Core Web Vitals thresholds throughout.
Multi-Currency Stripe Checkout
Localised, frictionless checkout pages with auto-completed address details and single-tap Apple/Google Pay.
GraphQL Data Sync Middleware
A synchronisation layer designed to reconcile inventory changes across multiple ERP warehouses without lag.
