headless-commerce-tradeoffs

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps ecommerce operators avoid costly headless replatforming decisions that don’t create measurable revenue lift or that create a long-term frontend engineering tax.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Four-question go/no-go gate: Evaluates whether a named, revenue-blocking limitation exists, whether the team can fund a permanent frontend owner, whether theme-based apps can be rebuilt, and whether organic/SEO risk is manageable.
• Data-driven justification: Uses channel-by-device revenue splits, AOV by device/page template, and first-touch attribution to quantify the case for or against headless.
• Stack recommendation framework: Recommends the right headless shape (Hydrogen/Oxygen, Next.js/Remix on top of Storefront API, or composable backends) or advises staying on standard theme with tactical custom development.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to evaluate whether you should go headless by answering the four gate questions for your current platform, revenue size, named limitations, team shape, and organic traffic share.
