SpecialtyHeadless with Hydrogen

Headless commerce, at your brand's speed.

We separate the storefront your customer sees from the engine behind it. We build it with Shopify Hydrogen on Oxygen, Shopify's own infrastructure, and only when the case justifies it.

In detail

Headless means the storefront is an application of your own and Shopify stays the engine: catalog, cart, checkout, payments and inventory. You get complete freedom over the experience; Shopify still answers for the critical part.

This website is an example: it is built with Hydrogen and hosted on Oxygen, with media delivered through Shopify’s infrastructure.

We consider this architecture when a project needs a highly customized shopping experience, its own logic or multiple sales channels. The decision takes performance goals, budget and maintenance requirements into account.

  • Yes, when the storefront needs logic of its own or carries heavy content.
  • Yes, when speed is a competitive advantage you can measure.
  • Yes, when you sell across several markets or brands from one catalog.
  • No, when a well-built theme already gives you everything you need.
  • No, when there is no ongoing maintenance budget, because an application of your own asks for one.

We develop with React and Hydrogen and deploy on Oxygen, Shopify’s infrastructure. We review availability and the limits of your plan when defining the architecture.

  • Storefront API for catalog and cart, with Shopify's checkout untouched.
  • Server rendering, so the first screen arrives complete instead of blank.
  • Optimized images and videos delivered through Shopify’s infrastructure.
  • Continuous deployment: every change reviewed on its own preview before it ships.

What you take away

  • A headless storefront running on Oxygen, with continuous deployment
  • Shopify's checkout untouched, with its payments and its security
  • The code in your repository, from the first commit
  • Field metrics from before and after the change
  • Enough documentation for another team to pick it up
