How much does a headless Shopify build cost?

Vendor estimates run from about $15,000 for a basic build to $80,000 to $250,000 for an advanced one, plus roughly $1,000 to $5,000 a month in upkeep for small to mid stores. These are estimates, so get a fixed quote for your scope.

Hydrogen has no licence fee and Oxygen hosting is included on paid plans. The cost is custom development and ongoing maintenance, not software.

Does headless improve conversion?

Not by itself. Speed gains help only if the theme was slow for reasons headless fixes. Measure Core Web Vitals first, then test the change against a clear conversion goal.

What does headless add to ongoing costs?

A React frontend to maintain, framework and API version upgrades, a CMS or metaobject setup, and features that apps used to supply through the theme.

Can marketers still edit pages on headless?

Not in the theme editor. Content is managed in a headless CMS, metaobjects or custom tools, so plan that workflow before you commit.
