Hey all — does anyone know if replo can be used with Shopify headless sites? Have a few clients using a headless setup but on top of Shopify and want to get them using replo for LPs.
Hey Nico, Replo can technically work with headless setups, but there are some important things to keep in mind: How it works: Replo publishes content (pages, sections, blogs, etc.) to your Shopify theme, which is then hosted on Shopify’s standard front end. Even in a headless setup, you’ll still have this Shopify front end available in parallel with your custom front end. Limitations:
Replo pages can only be hosted on the domain managed by your Shopify instance and must use the Shopify CDN.
Pages created in Replo follow Shopify’s structure, so, for example, they appear under
/pages/<slug> and can’t be fully managed via custom routing.
Shopify theme code always loads on these pages, including cart experiences, headers/footers (though these can be hidden in Replo), and any 3rd party app JavaScript.
Checkout: All customer journeys, headless or not always end on Shopify’s native checkout page. Theme requirement: For Replo to function smoothly, your underlying Shopify theme should still be maintained and in reasonable shape. Sometimes headless projects let their Shopify theme get outdated, so a quick check/refresh is often needed.
