Headless storefronts, platform checkout, and preview

A storefront your brand can own — checkout stays on the platform.

We build Next.js or Remix on the edge, talk to Shopify, BigCommerce, or a custom catalog, and keep PCI, tax, and fraud on the commerce platform unless you have a real reason not to.

01

Marketing wants a site; finance wants platform checkout

The brand site and the cart feel like two companies. PCI and tax still need a grown-up owner.

The brand storefront lives in an app you own. Checkout, tax, and PCI stay on Shopify or BigCommerce unless you have a real reason to take them on.

Money path
Platform checkout

Payments, tax, and fraud stay on Shopify or BigCommerce. The storefront does not become a second commerce engine.

PCI stays on the platform

Headless made everything slower

Waterfalls of Storefront API calls, a cold cache, and a homepage that waits on seven backends.

We replace a waterfall of backend calls with one query plan and edge cache, so the pages that sell are fast — not only Lighthouse on an empty catalog.

Browser is not the integration bus. Cached at the edge for the pages that sell.

Preview and merchandising died

Every copy change is a pull request. The CMS was promised; the workflow was not.

We decide in week one who edits pages. If the answer is only developers, we pick a different storefront model.

What you receive

The work we actually deliver.

Storefront application

A Next.js or Remix app with a deploy you can roll back — not a theme pretending to be a product.

API layer or BFF

The browser is not the integration bus. Catalog and cart calls go through a plan you can cache.

Caching rules

CDN and stale-while-revalidate written down, so the pages that sell stay fast.

Merchandising preview

Merchandising sees the real page in a CMS or platform preview — not only after a pull request.

Account and sign-in

Return visits, accounts, and auth match how customers actually come back.

Storefront monitoring

We watch the storefront path, not only the API, so a slow PDP is visible before sale day.

How we work with you

Compose, multi-surface, or rescue.

01

Compose

Platform cart and checkout, custom storefront.

What you receive

A storefront app, a BFF if needed, and preview that merchandisers will open.

02

Multi-surface

Web, app, kiosk — one catalog API.

What you receive

One contract for catalog and cart; each surface stays thin.

03

Rescue

You already went headless and regret the TTFB.

What you receive

Keep the architecture, fix the waterfall, restore the content workflow.

No junior hand-offs after the proposal.

Weekly demos

You see the real storefront, not a slide deck.

We stay after launch

Launch week is the start of the engagement.

Clear next steps

Every page leads to a real conversation.
