§ 01 How we approach this CAP-01.body

A headless storefront is the difference between a brand that owns its checkout and a brand that rents one. We build storefronts on Shopify Hydrogen and Saleor, with the cart wired up via the Storefront API and a real CDN edge layer underneath. The front end is yours, in your repo, written in TypeScript, deployable anywhere. We have shipped six of these in the last three years and three of them have outlived our involvement — which we count as the definition of success.
