Our verdict on HeadKit
HeadKit is a cloud platform for developers, agencies, and retail teams building headless ecommerce stores. It provides a deployable Next.js storefront, custom checkout, built-in SEO metadata and structured data, a single API for connected integrations, analytics, and managed serverless hosting. Stores can start from scratch or connect to Shopify and WooCommerce, making HeadKit a fit for teams that want hosted storefront infrastructure while keeping commerce and content systems connected.
Pricing is structured across a free plan and paid tiers. Free includes a headkit.app domain, a commerce connection, and test payments. Starter costs $99 per month and adds a custom domain, starter extensions, 1 user, and a 1% transaction fee. Pro costs $399 per month and adds a content connection, pro extensions, teams with 5 users, accelerated hosting, and a 0.75% transaction fee. Premium costs $1,499 per month and adds multiple connections, premium extensions, teams with 10 users, dedicated hosting, and a 0.5% transaction fee. Enterprise offers custom extensions and functionality, unlimited members and custom roles, custom APIs, custom hosting, and a custom SLA. A White-Glove Setup option costs $800 one time.
The platform’s strongest fit is integration-led storefront work. Supported connections include Shopify, WooCommerce, Commerce Layer, WordPress, Contentful, Sanity, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Stripe, PayPal, Vercel, Next.js, Nuxt, and SvelteKit. Analytics cover traffic, usage, performance, and commerce data, while the API and hosting features support a composed architecture. Teams should choose HeadKit when they need a hosted headless build with custom checkout and connected systems. Teams seeking a simpler standalone storefront or avoiding percentage-based transaction fees should review the plan structure carefully.
