help Hygraph FAQ

Does Hygraph replace Shopify's Storefront API?

No, Shopify remains responsible for products, carts, checkout, orders, and commerce data exposed through its Storefront API. Hygraph adds a GraphQL-native content layer that can combine Shopify products with editorial pages, campaigns, guides, and localized content.

How does the Hygraph Shopify integration expose products to editors?

After connecting a Shopify storefront, editors can reference Shopify products from models inside a Hygraph project. This lets a landing page combine managed content with current product records without manually duplicating every product field.

What do I need before connecting Shopify to Hygraph?

Hygraph requires an account, a project containing at least one model, and a Shopify account with a storefront already created. A custom frontend must still query the relevant GraphQL APIs and send customers through Shopify's checkout flow.

How is Hygraph different from Shopify Hydrogen?

Hygraph is a headless CMS and content-federation service, while Hydrogen is Shopify's React-based framework for building custom storefronts. They can be used together, with Hydrogen rendering the shop and Hygraph supplying editorial content alongside Shopify commerce data.
