In-Depth Engineering Explanation

Headless Shopify decouples the front-end presentation layer from Shopify's back-end commerce engine using the Storefront GraphQL API. While it requires a higher development budget, it provides complete front-end architectural freedom, instant page transitions, and edge rendering across 300+ global data centers.
