Our take on Nacelle
Nacelle stands at the intersection of headless commerce platform and agency services, offering a unique value proposition rooted in deep ecommerce expertise. Founded from the learnings of a Shopify Plus agency (ShopElf), Nacelle's team has firsthand understanding of the challenges merchants and agencies face when building headless PWA storefronts.
The platform serves as middleware between frontend and backend systems, indexing product catalogs and content to deliver optimized data via GraphQL APIs. Brands like FTD, Boll & Branch, Something Navy, and Barefoot Dreams have chosen Nacelle, reporting dramatic improvements in site speed, conversion rates, and developer velocity.
Backed by prominent investors including Tiger Global, Inovia Capital, and Index Ventures, Nacelle has significant resources for continued platform development. Their pre-built integrations with Contentful, Sanity, and 30+ ecommerce tools make implementation faster than custom headless builds.
