Commerce Storefront powered by Edge Delivery Services is Adobe's composable, high-performance frontend for ACCS and Commerce Optimizer — delivering exceptional speed, SEO, and authoring flexibility.
Why Edge Delivery: Document-based and visual authoring, sub-second perceived performance, and native experimentation (A/B testing) without heavy JavaScript bundles that hurt Core Web Vitals on Luma.
Setup workflow: Create an instance in Commerce Cloud Manager → obtain GraphQL endpoint → run the site creator tool with your GitHub org → connect Commerce GraphQL or API Mesh endpoint → customise code, content, and config repos.
API Mesh option: Enterprises with multiple backends (Commerce + CMS + OMS) should route storefront GraphQL through API Mesh rather than direct single endpoints — simplifies schema federation.
Luma migration note: ACCS does not support Luma. Every ACCS-bound program must plan storefront migration to Edge Delivery or maintain a supported headless alternative — this is non-negotiable in RFPs.
Content workflows: Merchants update storefront content via da.live sheets; developers extend Commerce frontend components. Generative AI variation features accelerate campaign landing pages.
Nexa TechnoLabs architects storefront migrations from Luma and PWA Studio to Edge Delivery with redirect preservation and analytics continuity.
