When to choose Shopify, Plus, or headless

Shopify works well for many brands out of the box. Plus adds more flexibility and support for high volume and B2B. Headless (Shopify as backend, custom frontend) makes sense when you need a unique storefront, better performance, or deep integration with the rest of your stack.

We help clients decide by mapping must-haves—checkout, catalog, subscriptions, international—to the right tier and architecture. Often a hybrid (e.g. headless storefront with Shopify Checkout) gives the best balance of control and speed.

If you’re evaluating Shopify or a headless commerce build, we can walk you through the options.
