FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Shopify headless storefront with Next.js?

Building a Shopify headless storefront with Next.js involves scaffolding a project using the App Router, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. This process ensures secure Storefront API integration, HTTP-only cookie cart management, and webhook-driven cache invalidation for optimal performance.

What is the best way to manage Shopify cart persistence in a headless architecture?

Managing Shopify cart persistence securely in a headless architecture requires using HTTP-only cookies. This technique keeps cart state consistent across sessions while preventing client-side JavaScript from accessing private tokens.
