Amsterdam-based Instant Commerce, a headless Frontend-as-a-Service for Storyblok and Shopify, has raised a pre-seed round. The round was led by firstminute capital, with the founders of Storyblok, Wandera, Snyk, and Supercell also participating.

Sam Endacott at firstminute capital, says: “We believe the future of web development and e-commerce is headless and have had a front-row seat in this category with our investments in Storyblok and Nuxt.”

“However, the missing link has been a software layer to coordinate the ecosystem of APIs from the front-end that can be used by both non-technical users and developers. The Instant Commerce team have experienced this pain-point directly having built a highly successful e-commerce agency before working with major global brands.”

Elsewhere, reports indicate that the headless CMS industry is set to boom, Amplience launched a PWA kit, and the MACH Alliance are set to present the best practises around MACH-based order management.

“This race to make online storefronts more engaging has led to much higher costs, strained infrastructure and a severe drain on resources,” explained Coen Van Hees, Founder and CEO of Instant Commerce.
