Transitioning to a headless storefront necessitates the evaluation of third-party app compatibility.
Shopify apps that only enhance frontend functionalities, such as adding sales banners, become redundant in this setup, as these features can be incorporated directly into the code of the custom storefront. However, apps that interact with Shopify's backend, offering features like dashboards, require an API or embeddable script for continued functionality in the new store environment. When such integration tools are not available, typically there are alternative apps that offer these capabilities.
Three key apps suitable for headless storefronts:
Judge.me
Facilitates product review integration, providing a widget for embedding in headless storefronts, along with an API for comprehensive integration.
Goaffpro
Designed for creating affiliate links for influencers, this app includes a script for integration into headless sites and effectively processes codes in URLs.
Bespoke Shipping
Enables the creation of complex shipping rates based on multiple factors. Its API allows for the development of custom solutions to display total shipping costs for items in the cart prior to checkout.
