Introduction

Adobe has redefined the e-commerce storefront with Edge Delivery Services and Commerce Drop-in Components to streamline development workflows and accelerate time-to-market. This approach offers a fully composable architecture that empowers merchants with functional user interfaces for various shopping components.


Content-Centric Design

In e-commerce, content-centric design is crucial for success. Rather than fitting content into existing designs, the design should be tailored to support the content to enhance conversion rates and user experiences. Adobe's approach prioritizes this content-centered design philosophy for storefronts.


Authoring with AEM and Edge Delivery Services

The document-based authoring provided by Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) in conjunction with Edge Delivery Services transcends traditional content management. This approach centralizes content in the development cycle, empowering content authors to create and deliver personalized web pages efficiently.


Boilerplate from Zero to Shoppable

The Edge Delivery Services for Commerce Boilerplate is integrated with core pages, including product details, shopping carts, checkout flows, user authentication, and more. This drop-in solution streamlines the development process and ensures seamless integrations for a comprehensive shopping experience.


Composable Architecture and Predictable Development

The composable architecture of Edge Delivery Services combined with Commerce Drop-in Components offers developers a solid foundation for building scalable storefronts. With consistent design patterns and predictable APIs, developers can easily integrate with different pages and create a unified user profile experience.
