IPA.C was created to offer design patterns of modern frontends to facilitate coding of a frontend without a hassle of a time-consuming initial work spent on architectural designing.

It is designed by engineers experienced in Commerce technologies to deliver the frontend that both merchants and developers want. It is fast to deploy, agile for quick changes and open for future integrations.

Build custom storefronts

IPA.C is a framework that facilitates building a frontend the way you want it. Your frontend won’t look like one of your competitor’s built on storefront templates. Developers can create their UX/UI from scratch opening endless possibilities for customization as and when required. You can adapt IPA.C to all customers' journeys across multiple sales channels.

Accelerate your commerce with the appropriate frontend

It works as an accelerator because, apart from being already integrated with selected backends, it provides a set of commerce out-of-the-box functionalities (including the UI layer).
You get a home page, landing pages, search and navigation with faceting, product details, a cart and a checkout powered by headless commerce and DXP/CMS engines.
You can also build fully customizable modern frontends across different touchpoints in an omnichannel approach.

Customize flexibly

When a frontend is decoupled from the backend, it is easier to implement, maintain and scale. We know commerce needs flexibility so that you can customize everything according to your needs.
Your team needs to focus only on new parts of the frontend, e.g. a new integration adapter, since the rest of the frontend won’t be affected.
Integrated Platform Accelerator for Commerce (IPA.C) is built on a multi-layered internal architecture so various parts of IPA.C are decoupled from each other as they perform completely different tasks.
Key pages like product pages, product listings or a check-out, are separated from content pages. Marketing team can safely edit the content without affecting key commerce functionalities

IPA.C support multiple backends

IPA.C provides support for multiple backends making it truly agnostic when it comes to the CMS and commerce engines behind it.

You can easily integrate other headless services with minimal impact on the store application. The framework takes a rigid approach to separate the actual shop functionality from integration layers. Various APIs are supported including GraphQL, REST and payloads like JSON-API or JSON-LB. Converters of further standards can be easily plugged-in.
