The challenge

A headless build meant separate code to maintain for the storefront. The organization wanted a native Shopify theme while keeping its content, search, analytics and member login working.

What we did

  • Rebuilt the storefront as a native Shopify theme
  • Mapped the organization's own login system to Shopify customer accounts
  • Built an API bridge to keep saved Favorites working
  • Kept Contentful, Algolia, Klaviyo, LiveChat, New Relic, GA4 and Segment connected

Results

Native Shopify storefront live in 8 to 12 weeks with all key integrations in place.
