Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'Headless' store?+
A store where the front-end (what the user sees) is separate from the back-end (commerce engine) for maximum speed and customization.
Is Shopify expensive?+
It has a monthly fee and transaction fees, but it saves on hosting and developer costs compared to open-source.
Can I switch later?+
Yes, but it is a complex process; it’s much better to choose a stack that can scale with you from the start.
