Headless commerce

Help for the headless store you already have.

A headless storefront gives you control. It also means the cart, search, product pages and checkout handoff are all your code, and all yours to fix when something goes wrong.

The problem

Headless stores are often built by an agency and then left with a small team that did not write them. A Storefront API version change, a cart bug or a caching issue can stall the whole store.

We work on existing headless stores: fixing defined problems, adding single features and auditing what you have. Building a full headless storefront is bigger than us, and we will say so and refer you.

Sound familiar?

  • The cart or checkout handoff fails for some customers.
  • Product or inventory data is stale because of caching.
  • The Storefront API version your store uses is being retired.
  • You want an independent audit of a headless store before taking it over.
  • One feature needs adding, such as a product filter or bundle display.

What you get

  • A written audit of performance, caching, API use and risks, if requested
  • Fixes or the agreed feature, committed to your repository
  • Testing against a development store or staging environment
  • Notes on API versions and dependencies to watch

What this isn’t

  • Full headless storefront builds
  • Re-platforming between commerce systems
  • Custom checkout builds outside what Shopify allows

Price

Audits from $750. Most headless fixes and features land between $750 and $4,000.

How the job runs

  1. 01

    Describe what is stuck

    Answer a few questions in the scoping agent. It takes about three minutes and turns your answers into a plain-English brief.

  2. 02

    Get a straight answer

    Within one business day, a developer replies with a fixed price, a paid diagnostic, one question, or an honest “not us” and a referral.

  3. 03

    We fix it

    Work starts when you approve. You get the fix, a short note on what changed and the access handed back.

Two minutes of guided questions. You get a plain-English brief, and a developer replies within one business day.

Questions

Can you build us a headless store?

Not a full build — that is bigger than us. We can help you decide whether headless is right and refer you to a team that builds them.

Should we go back to a standard Shopify theme?

Sometimes that is the sensible answer. The audit will say whether headless is earning its keep for your store.

How do we give you access?

Add us as a collaborator on your store and repository with the access needed, and remove it when we finish.
