Shopify Hydrogen
When Liquid isn't enough.
Hydrogen is Shopify's React framework for storefronts that have outgrown a theme — custom buying experiences, unusual merchandising, or a front end that has to do more than a template allows.
What's involved
What this work covers
- Hydrogen storefronts in React, deployed to Oxygen
- Storefront API data fetching, with caching that holds up under load
- Custom cart and checkout-adjacent flows
- Content from a headless CMS alongside Shopify data
- Migration from a Liquid theme, route by route
- Core Web Vitals treated as a budget, the same as our themes
Questions
Shopify Hydrogen FAQ
Often not. A well-built Liquid theme is faster to ship, cheaper to maintain and quick enough for most stores — our own theme exists to prove that. Hydrogen earns its place when the storefront genuinely needs to do something a theme can't.
