Yes. 64labs alone has built 12 sites now for major e-commerce brands. It works well. It's fast. We've built out NextJS sites too. They work. They are fast too.

The question really is whether the partners and teams trying to implement composable are waiting for Salesforce to solve every use case for them before they feel comfortable building composable sites. It's harder than getting some certifications and throwing the work over the wall to a disciplined but unimaginative offshore team.

Composable will always set challenges for engineers and functional architects. Salesforce is a great platform because it's so flexible. But that comes at the price of complexity and you have to know what you are doing to engineer composable solutions on Salesforce.

You don’t just get production-ready code - performance-optimized, covered with automated testing, and supported by a scalable design system your team can own - you get a live storefront, launched by a team with deep knowledge of Salesforce’s Managed Runtime infrastructure and committed to the commercial success of the project. 64labs is a launch-focused company, which means we stay with you through go-live. Whether it’s a “big bang” release or a phased traffic-split cutover, we ensure your composable storefront isn’t just built, it’s successfully launched and delivering value from day one.

Moving to a composable architecture unlocks several key benefits across performance, flexibility, and scalability:

• Faster Performance – Modern composable storefronts are lighter and more optimized than monolithic setups, resulting in faster load times and smoother customer experiences. The older your Salesforce build, the more benefits you are likely to reap here.The ROI for your project lives here. Better performance = lower bounce = greater conversions = more revenue.
• Agility & Flexibility – You can swap in best-of-breed tools (CMS, search, personalization, etc.) without being tied to a single vendor’s limitations or relying on a cartridge built by someone else five years ago. You get to work with specialist vendors and implement their technology for your specific needs. You also get the IT and Merchant team out of each other’s docket. That frees a lot of time on both sides.
• Omnichannel Readiness – Content and commerce experiences can be delivered consistently across web, mobile, apps, in-store devices, and future channels.
• Marketer Empowerment – A headless CMS gives business users a more intuitive, user-friendly way to create and publish content without relying heavily on developers.
• Future-Proof Foundation – With composable, you can evolve your stack incrementally as new technologies emerge, avoiding disruptive “big bang” replatforms.

In short, going composable positions your digital commerce experience for greater speed, adaptability, and long-term resilience.

No. Our accelerator is a starting framework built from best practices and experience across all our past projects. It gives us a fast launch point so we can focus quickly on your customizations and third-party integrations.

The code is entirely yours - you own it outright. There are no monthly or yearly licensing fees, and you can upgrade or extend it at any time to support your roadmap and business needs.

Some teams like to keep us around as experts in the new technology on one of our Momentum offerings. But most of our customers are excited to take the helm of their new stack and the upgrades they might want to make are in their hands. In any event, we are always available to help when asked.

SEO remains a top priority during the transition. When we implement a headless storefront, we:

• Retain all existing URL structures so your current rankings and backlinks stay intact.
• Apply up-to-date structured data and schema markup to ensure search engines can index and interpret your site correctly.
• Collaborate closely with your team or SEO agency to align on strategy and make the handoff smooth.

This approach minimizes SEO risk while giving you the long-term performance and flexibility benefits of a composable storefront.

Based on our experience, the challenges usually aren’t with the technology itself but with how the transition is managed. The most common issues include:

• Leadership focus – Teams sometimes treat replatforming as an opportunity to redesign or add features. Successful projects keep leadership aligned on the primary goal: launching composable first and building on that foundation.
• Third-party integrations – Dependencies on external vendors can cause delays if they’re not responsive or prepared to support composable setups.
• Parallel requests – Internal teams often request unrelated changes during replatforming, which can create scope creep and slow progress.
• Competing priorities – Large internal projects or dependencies may block the composable initiative if not planned around.
• Skills gap – A lack of engineering resources with React and composable expertise can make execution harder, because it creates unnecessary defensiveness among the team.

At 64labs, we surface these risks early on in the project so they can be addressed before they become blockers.

Yes, we can easily incorporate most custom logic into your composable storefront. During the discovery, we evaluate what’s required, and in many cases, we implement the work alongside the initial setup.

To ensure your custom functionality works in a composable architecture, we’ll move logic out of the frontend and determine the best approach. In some cases, this means extending SFCC SCAPI APIs; in others, it may involve shifting elements into the headless CMS, depending on who manages the data and workflows.

Importantly, adding custom features doesn’t automatically extend your project timeline or increase budget. Our team is highly experienced, has seen most scenarios before, and generally delivers within the quoted timelines and scope.

Generally, no — this will not affect your project’s timeline or budget. Most third-party platforms provide API-based access, which allows us to integrate their functionality efficiently.

The biggest risk comes from the third party’s ability to work at pace, as any delays or limitations on their side could impact our engineering team. In most cases, however, we’re able to work directly with third parties to ensure smooth and timely integration.
