[DEVELOPMENT] Headless Commerce: Next.js + Shopify Storefront API

Standard Shopify themes (Liquid) are slow and limit your UI/UX possibilities. The modern standard is "Headless Commerce"—using Shopify purely as a backend database while building a lightning-fast frontend with Next.js.

Fetching Products via GraphQL:
Instead of standard REST APIs, Shopify's Storefront API uses GraphQL for faster, precise data fetching.

const query = `
{
  products(first: 5) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        title
        variants(first: 1) {
          edges {
            node {
              priceV2 { amount currencyCode }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
`;
