Running headless BigCommerce with Engage comes with a few considerations:
  1. Abandoned cart will not work, since it is tied to the BigCommerce front-end. To use abandoned cart, the tracking script must be manually implemented by whoever builds your custom front-end.

  1. The Engage widgets within the app can’t be used for merchants running the headless version since this is tied to the front-end. The information displayed — vouchers, promotions, points and member levels — can all be accessed through the Engage /contacts API.

  1. The syncing and creation of vouchers and assignment of promotions in BigCommerce when customer log in is NOT available for merchants running the headless version.
