Shopify

Shopify offers a powerful basis for commerce within customized digital solutions. By using it headless, we combine flexibility in UX with the reliability of a proven platform.

Flexibility in the front end, stability in the backend

At Thesio, we develop digital solutions that revolve around the end user. In commerce-driven user journeys, a personalized experience is crucial. That's why we often opt for a headless architecture for complex projects: complete freedom in the front end — built with modern JavaScript frameworks — while the backend relies on proven technology.

Why we use Shopify

For us, Shopify is the standard solution when it comes to e-commerce components within a wider digital experience. The platform is fully focused on facilitating:

  • Checkout and payments
  • Order Management
  • Product Management and Configuration

This allows us to build on these components with reliable, scalable technology, while in the front end we can fully focus on customized UX and performance.

More than just an online store

What makes Shopify powerful is its comprehensive ecosystem. With a rich range of apps, integrations and APIs, the platform offers all the tools to seamlessly connect with other systems. This allows us to switch quickly, without sacrificing user experience or technical quality.

Standard where possible, customization where necessary

By cleverly integrating Shopify as a commerce component into a larger solution, we use the best of both worlds:

  • Speed and reliability of a standard platform
  • Full control over the experience and interaction in the front end

For example, we don't build standard online stores, but unique digital experiences where commerce is just one part of the overall journey.

What else you might want to know about Shopify development at Thesio

Why are you using Shopify as part of a larger solution?

Because we often work on complex digital journeys where e-commerce is just one component. Shopify then offers a stable and specialized backend that we use headless, so that we keep complete freedom in the front end.

How do you combine Shopify with a custom frontend?

We build frontend experiences with frameworks such as Next.js or Nuxt and connect them via the Shopify Storefront API or GraphQL. This is how we create an optimal user experience without being limited by standard templates or themes.

Can custom links or flows be built on top of Shopify?

Sure. Thanks to the extensive Shopify ecosystem and our experience with middleware solutions, we easily build integrations with ERPs, PIMs, or other tools. Customized logic around products, prices or customer groups is also possible.

Modern proven technology

We know better than anyone which technology is logical to choose in each specific situation. We are happy to share this knowledge of technology and tools.
