Headless Shopify Development — Frequently Asked Questions

Only if you genuinely need it. Headless adds complexity and cost — it's the right choice when you need sub-second performance, a React design system impossible to achieve in Liquid, a mobile app, or multi-channel commerce. For most stores under £5M/year, a well-optimised Liquid theme outperforms the investment.

Hydrogen is Shopify's official React-based framework for building headless storefronts. It uses Remix, runs on Shopify's Oxygen hosting, and connects to Shopify via the Storefront GraphQL API. It's the recommended stack for new headless Shopify builds.

Properly built headless stores achieve sub-100ms TTFB on edge-cached routes and 95+ Lighthouse scores consistently. The performance improvement over Liquid themes is real — but only if the frontend is built correctly.

Yes — that's exactly what headless means. Shopify handles products, inventory, orders, checkout, payments and fulfilment. Your custom frontend handles the presentation layer via the Storefront API.

Our packages start from £1,997 for an architecture audit and proof of concept, up to £7,997 for a full production storefront. Most production builds land between £3,997 and £7,997 depending on design complexity and page count.
