We build engaging, fast and conversion-focused Headless stores with Shopify Plus.
Charle is a Shopify & Shopify Plus agency that partners with leading brands to design, develop and support performance-focused e-commerce stores. With our wealth of ecommerce experience, we support merchants to leverage a headless ecommerce approach with world-leading development practices, and partners - all powered by Shopify Plus. Our expert ecommerce team will not only design an engaging and conversion-focused on-site user experience but build with the very best headless technology available. We’re a headless ecommerce agency ready to support you with your headless project.
Headless ecommerce involves separating the front end of your store from the back end unlocking the flexibility to design and build beyond the limitations of the back end system. We power headless ecommerce store's back-end with Shopify Plus and build the front end to leverage a javascript framework called React. Headless ecommerce gives merchants unlimited levels of complexity, as the front end is built in line with the specific requirements for the store and only communicates with the back end when it needs to. Headless ecommerce naturally brings other benefits such as lightning-fast site speed, the ability to build very unique shopping experiences, and not being limited by what the back-end system has to offer.
Lightning fast headless Shopify Plus ecommerce stores
Headless ecommerce stores are built with modern javascript frameworks that allow a store to load in lightning-fast times. Headless stores typically not only load fast but are optimised to perform highly for Google Lighthouse reporting. Various studies support the significant impact that site speed has on conversions and is a common reason merchants choose headless with Shopify Plus.
Leaving you in control with outstanding content management.
Headless ecommerce stores separate the front end of the site experience from Shopify Plus entirely, meaning that standard Shopify content management is not available for use. We’ve partnered with leading content management systems such as Shogun Frontend and Contentful to offer unrivalled content management without sacrificing performance.
Shopify’s API allows us to pass information between the frontend of your store such as items in the cart, cost of the sale, product information and more directly to Shopify Plus. Headless ecommerce allows merchants to leverage the backend power of Shopify including great features such as customer, order and product data and also the secure checkout too whilst having ultimate control over the frontend. We leverage Shopify's opinionated framework called Hydrogen, Shopify are set to launch their own headless hosting platform called 'Oxygen' this year.
When choosing headless for your ecommerce business, the complexity of the build is ultimately much higher as some of the frontend features that natively are offered from Shopify are separated. We’ve partnered with leading headless providers such as Netlify, Klevu and more to ensure your headless store build is an ultimate powerhouse upon launch.
