Spree Commerce bundles cross-border capabilities natively. Markets group geography, currency, language, payment methods, and shipping rules into one configurable entity, so a DTC brand selling into multiple countries manages each region&#8217;s pricing, tax, and fulfillment rules from one dashboard. Spree Commerce supports multi-currency checkout, per-country tax calculators, and regional payment processor routing out of the box.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/details>\r\n<\/div><!-- \/.faq__list-row -->\r\n<div class=\"faq__list-row\">\r\n  <details>\r\n    <summary>\r\n      <span>Is Spree Commerce a headless ecommerce platform?<\/span>\r\n      <svg class=\"svg-icon faq__icon-plus \" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n        <g class=\"icon__group\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\">\r\n          <line x1=\"2\" y1=\"10\" x2=\"18\" y2=\"10\" \/>\r\n          <line x1=\"10\" y1=\"18\" x2=\"10\" y2=\"2\" \/>\r\n        <\/g>\r\n      <\/svg>\r\n    <\/summary>\r\n    <div class=\"faq__list-text\">\r\n      <p>Yes.
