End-to-end headless eCommerce just got easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After launching the Headless WordPress BigCommerce Blueprint <\/a>earlier this year, WP Engine has doubled down on end-to-end headless eCommerce with the Shopify Blueprint, a complete headless storefront starter project that seamlessly connects to Shopify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP Engine’s Shopify Blueprint for headless eCommerce connects seamlessly with your existing Shopify storefront<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new blueprint is now available in the Headless WordPress portal<\/a>, where you can add it to your existing plan<\/a> or test it out using a free sandbox account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to Production, Faster <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working across platforms to build API-centric solutions has\u2014until now\u2014been cost-prohibitive for many eCommerce merchants. That\u2019s because building this type of architecture from scratch can easily take hundreds of hours and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That high barrier to entry is where Headless WordPress Blueprints<\/a> come in, and where WP Engine\u2019s growing set of headless eCommerce starter projects can flip the script, enabling site development, at scale, at a fraction of the time and cost.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the BigCommerce Blueprint, the Shopify Blueprint streamlines production with end-to-end headless commerce for WordPress, allowing you to get your first headless eCommerce store to production faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both blueprints make it easy to create composable stores on a proven architecture with prepackaged plugins, connected endpoints, and world-class developer resources that reduce the challenges associated with starting a headless site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s in the Box?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Headless WordPress Shopify Blueprint is a complete storefront starter project built on Headless WordPress<\/a> and connected to the Shopify eCommerce platform, allowing you to hit the ground running on headless eCommerce projects without having to start from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users of the Shopify Blueprint are already setting up the basics of their eCommerce sites in ~10 minutes or less, replacing a process that could otherwise take hours if not weeks when starting from square one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the BigCommerce Blueprint, the Shopify Blueprint also extends the functionality of Headless WordPress with the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
