A fast React or Vue storefront on the Shopware Store API — instant navigation, app-like feel and better conversion.
// What you get
Instant transitions and interactions that keep buyers engaged.
Your choice of modern front-end on Shopware's proven backend.
Built on the official Shopware Store API for a stable foundation.
One backend serving web, app and other channels via the API.
Server rendering and correct meta so headless shops still rank.
Offline support, installability and push where it adds value.
// Why it matters
Headless commerce separates the storefront from the backend, giving you a lightning-fast, app-like experience without giving up Shopware's commerce engine. Codewerk Solutions builds headless and single-page shops with React, Vue or Next.js on the Shopware Store API — engineered for speed, SEO and a buying experience that feels genuinely modern.
It's the right choice when performance and user experience are competitive advantages — and when you want the freedom to build exactly the front-end your brand deserves.
// In detail
What we actually do under the hood — so you can judge the work, not just the promise.
A headless storefront talks to Shopware over the Store API: context token for session and cart, criteria objects for search and filtering, and server-side rendering so the shop stays crawlable. We build in React or Vue and keep the cart calculation on the server, always.
Headless is not automatically faster. It becomes faster when you cache aggressively at the edge for anonymous visitors and never cache a personalised response. We set that boundary explicitly, because getting it wrong leaks one customer's prices to another.
Composable does not mean crawlable. Server-side rendering, canonical URLs, structured data, a working sitemap and the complete redirect map from your old shop are all still your job — and a beautiful client-rendered storefront with no rankings is an expensive brochure.
// FAQ
Only if you need more than one channel from the same catalogue, your UX is genuinely unlike a normal shop, and you have a frontend team who will still be there in three years. For most B2B shops, a well-built Twig theme with Vue islands gives 90% of the benefit for 40% of the cost.
Typically 1.5–2× the frontend effort, because you now own routing, SEO, caching, image handling, checkout state and translations that Twig gave you for free. We say that upfront rather than discovering it in month three.
Yes. The Store API is there whether you use it or not. Building a clean Twig storefront now does not close the door — it just means you pay for the second frontend when it actually earns you something.
Only if you pay for it. Twig gives you server-rendered HTML, canonicals, sitemap and redirects by default; headless gives you a blank page and a promise. With server-side rendering done properly, rankings hold. Built as a client-rendered SPA, you are asking Google to work harder for a shop it already had. Budget the SEO work as part of the frontend, not as a repair afterwards.
Whichever your team already writes well. Both talk to the Store API perfectly happily, both have mature server-rendering stories, and the gap between them is far smaller than the gap between a team that knows the framework and one learning it on your budget. If you have no team either way, that is an argument against headless, not for a framework.
This is the part people discover late. Shopping Experiences renders through Twig, so a headless storefront does not get it for free — every CMS block your marketing team uses has to be re-implemented in your frontend. If editors build pages themselves today, budget that work explicitly, or accept that from now on a new page is a developer ticket.
Almost certainly not. Offline support and installability sound good in a pitch and get used by roughly nobody in B2B, where buyers order from a desk on a company laptop. Push notifications to a purchasing department are not something anyone asked for. If your users work in a hall without signal, that is a real case — otherwise it is cost without a return.
