Security & Compliance

Crystallize is a headless commerce platform that uniquely combines a rich CMS, product information management (PIM), and full ecommerce capabilities — including cart, checkout, orders, and subscriptions — behind a single superfast GraphQL API. It enables teams to manage structured product data and marketing content from one place, delivering it to any channel or device without the integration overhead of juggling separate systems.

Key Features of Crystallize

  • Unified CMS + PIM + commerce engine accessible through a single GraphQL API, allowing product information and editorial content to be queried together in one request
  • Flexible content and product modeling with custom shapes — no fixed templates — supporting complex catalogs, variants, rich media, and semantic topic maps for navigation
  • Built-in subscription commerce, multi-currency pricing, discount management, and full checkout funnel with real-time cart and order tracking
  • Automatic media optimization with images transcoded to WebP and HD video transcoded for edge streaming, plus full multilingual support including localized URLs
  • Fully managed cloud infrastructure with edge delivery, zero installation or upgrades, and compatibility with any frontend framework including Next.js, React, Vue, and Angular

Who Should Use Crystallize

Crystallize is built for ecommerce-focused brands and agencies that want to unify product storytelling, catalog management, and transactional commerce in a single headless platform — eliminating the need to integrate a separate CMS with a separate shop API. It fits particularly well for D2C, B2B, and subscription-based businesses with complex product catalogs that need rich content experiences across multiple channels and markets.
