Good primer on headless Shopify — the flexibility is real, though the tradeoff in setup complexity is worth calling out for teams evaluating it.
One thing worth noting: even in headless setups, Shopify apps that modify the storefront behavior can still be valuable. For example, Prefetch (apps.shopify.com/prefetch) works at the store level to preload pages on link hover — reducing perceived navigation time regardless of whether you're using a traditional theme or a custom frontend.
Eye Catching (apps.shopify.com/beautiful-brands) standardizes product image backgrounds and overlays across the entire catalog — useful when the Storefront API returns products with inconsistent imagery from different suppliers, and you want visual consistency without manually editing every image.
(Disclosure: I'm a developer at Stackedboost and built both.)
