Short answer
Composable commerce is an approach to building an ecommerce stack from interchangeable, best-of-breed services rather than a single all-in-one platform. It often follows MACH principles: microservices, API-first, cloud-native, and headless. Businesses gain flexibility to swap or add components, though they take on more integration and management work.
