FAQ
Questions about custom hydrogen storefront.
What makes a Shopify Hydrogen storefront custom?
The storefront can define its own React UI, route behavior, product and collection experiences, content model, performance strategy, and commerce handoff while Shopify remains the commerce engine.
Do custom Hydrogen storefronts still use Shopify checkout?
Yes. Hydrogen storefronts usually build the customer-facing storefront and hand off to Shopify checkout for the transaction path.
How do you keep a custom storefront maintainable?
Keep the first launch scope focused, use reusable route and component patterns, render important content server-side, and avoid custom logic that does not support a real business need.
