Catalyst is the composable, fully customizable headless commerce framework for BigCommerce. Catalyst is built with Next.js, uses our React storefront components, and is backed by the GraphQL Storefront API.

By choosing Catalyst, you'll have a fully-functional storefront within a few seconds, and spend zero time on wiring up APIs or building SEO, Accessibility, and Performance-optimized ecommerce components you've probably written many times before. You can instead go straight to work building your brand and making this your own.
