Shopify

Hosted commerce platform for online stores, with GraphQL Admin and Storefront APIs for headless storefronts.

Shopify is a hosted commerce platform for online stores, offered by Shopify Inc. The developer documentation describes a GraphQL Admin API for products, customers, orders and inventory, and the storefront docs describe headless storefronts with a team’s own frontend on Shopify’s APIs. The pricing page lists translation of the storefront and localized selling through Shopify Markets.

Worth knowing

The platform is a hosted service under Shopify’s terms of service, and the merchant does not install it. The storefront docs also name Hydrogen, a headless toolkit, and Oxygen, hosting for storefronts built with it; this record does not cover them separately.
