Headless vs Theme Access

Create any shopping experience you want with the Storefront API and Customer Account API. Have full control over your headless build using the tools, frameworks, languages you prefer. Use the Shopify Headless sales channel to easily manage your API integrations in the Shopify Admin, with access to public & private tokens and permissions control. Need an end-to-end solution? Try Hydrogen, our Remix-based development framework, then deploy at no cost with Oxygen, our built-in edge hosting.

The Theme Access app makes it easy for you to allow your theme developers, partners or agencies to access and customize your themes while keeping your store secure. You can create unlimited passwords that provide theme-only access to your developer partners, without the need to create a staff account.
