Custom Shopify stores
You want Shopify's reliability without a theme's constraints? We build decoupled (headless) stores: Shopify handles catalog, inventory, orders and payment, and your site is a custom application, fast and true to your brand.
Shopify's commerce, a custom site's experience
A Shopify theme imposes its structure and limits. In headless mode, the site reads the catalog through the Shopify Storefront API and manages the cart through the Cart API: the storefront no longer depends on the theme, and checkout stays Shopify's, proven and secure.
That's the approach used for Belvedere Barbers in Vancouver: a Next.js site where the catalog is fetched server-side and the cart is managed without the Shopify theme.
Fast and true to your brand
Pages are rendered server-side, images optimized and only the necessary code is loaded. The visual identity is no longer constrained by a template, and the site is ready for search: sitemap, structured data and sharing images.
Integrated with your other tools
On the Belvedere site, the store sits alongside booking (Squire) and a careers form, in a single branded experience. We integrate booking, transactional email or internal tools the same way, as you need.
Frequently asked questions.
Why headless rather than a Shopify theme?
A theme remains the right choice for many stores. Headless becomes worthwhile when brand experience, performance or integration with other services matter a lot. We point you to the approach that really fits, without oversizing.
Is checkout still secure?
Yes. Payment is still handled by Shopify Checkout; only the storefront and cart are custom-built.
Do you work with clients across Québec?
Yes. IDNUAGE is based in Montréal and works remotely across Québec, in person in the Montréal area when needed. Our projects run in French or English.
