04 / Architecture
Every layer exposed.
None of them locked.
NKD ships as a production-grade storefront — not a starter kit you finish yourself.
Underneath sits an acceleration layer for performance, security, SEO, and AI, plus an orchestration layer that lets you swap any backend without a rebuild.

Experience layer
Production storefront
Enterprise-ready storefront with the things a real store needs already built — product pages, search, cart, checkout, and CMS-driven content.
Out-of-the-box, not assembled from scratch.
Product & category pages
Search & merchandising
Cart & checkout
CMS content

Acceleration layer
N7 — built in
Performance, monitoring, and security come pre-integrated with N7. SEO and AI discoverability are accelerated by the SERA framework — not bolted on after launch.

Orchestration layer
NKD Connect
One place to unite your commerce engine, CMS, search, payments, and third-party vendors. Orchestration instead of integration spaghetti.
So changing a vendor doesn't mean re-wiring the storefront.

Search & payments
Social commerce feeds

Composable backends
Pluggable — choose & replace
Run the backend you already have, or the one you're moving to. Any layer can be evolved or replaced as your business changes, without starting over.
// swap a backend, change a CMS, replace a layer — the storefront keeps running
