3. Headless Commerce

Headless Shopify separates the front-end from the back-end, offering greater flexibility, scalability, and performance. Using APIs, developers can create custom storefronts while leveraging Shopify’s robust backend.

With over 73% of eCommerce sales coming from mobile( Statista), mobile optimization is crucial. Shopify developers are now creating responsive, fast-loading, and app-like mobile experiences.

AR lets customers visualize products in real life, increasing engagement and reducing returns. Shopify now supports AR-ready images and apps that enable immersive product previews.
