What’s included in a
headless commerce build.

Next.js storefront

Server-side rendered storefronts built on Next.js 14 - static generation for product pages, edge caching, and image optimisation. Sub-second load times and Core Web Vitals scores that improve conversion.

Next.js 14SSR / SSGEdge caching

API layer design

Clean, documented, versioned APIs connecting your frontend to commerce engine, CMS, search, and personalisation. GraphQL for flexible data fetching, REST for simple integrations, webhooks for real-time events.

Commerce engine selection

We select the right commerce engine for your model - Shopify Hydrogen for Shopify merchants, Medusa.js for open-source flexibility, commercetools for enterprise scale, or a custom engine when nothing fits.

Native mobile app

The same headless commerce API powering a React Native or Flutter app - consistent buying experience across web and mobile, shared cart, and unified customer account. True omnichannel, one backend.

AI-powered search

Algolia or custom vector search wired into the headless layer - semantic search that understands shopper intent, personalised results, and instant faceting without re-indexing on every product update.

AI personalisation at the API layer

Personalisation engine wired in at the API layer - every product query, search request, and recommendation call runs through the AI model. Not a frontend widget: intelligence at the data layer.

API-level AINo platform lock-in

Headless is the right choice
when these things matter to you.

  • You have strong brand design requirements that platform templates can’t accommodate
  • Mobile performance and Core Web Vitals are a commercial priority - every 100ms matters
  • You’re selling across web, mobile app, and potentially other channels (kiosk, in-store)
  • You want AI personalisation that operates at the data layer - not a JavaScript widget
  • You’re thinking 5+ years ahead and want to avoid platform lock-in
  • Your content team needs rich editorial control that goes beyond product descriptions
  • You’re running on Magento 1 or legacy custom and need a modern architecture path
Headless may not be right if:

You need to launch in under 3 months, you have a standard B2C checkout with no complex logic, or your team doesn’t have the technical capacity to manage an API-driven frontend long-term. In those cases, we’d recommend Shopify Plus with custom theming.
