Why Headless Commerce Is the Future: Next.js + Shopify + Sanity Explained

A beginner-friendly breakdown of what headless commerce is, and why combining Shopify’s backend, Sanity’s CMS, and Next.js for frontend is the smartest move in 2025.

That’s why modern brands are switching to headless commerce — separating the backend (Shopify) from the frontend (Next.js) and connecting it all with a powerful CMS (Sanity). This setup gives you complete design freedom, lightning-fast performance, and the flexibility to grow without limits.
