Custom Headless Commerce Platform ReviewsPlatform Reviews
Real feedback from founders and CTOs who shipped headless storefronts with IRPR. See how speed, cost, and performance measure up.
IRPR builds custom headless commerce platforms using Next.js, the Shopify Storefront API, Commercetools, and Contentful. We decouple the frontend from the backend to give you faster page loads, flexible content management, and a better conversion path.
Every project ships with a fully functional storefront, a custom admin dashboard, and a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions. Delivery takes 8-12 weeks and pricing ranges from $80K to $250K, fixed from the Roadmap phase. All platforms are built with PCI-DSS and SOC 2 compliance in mind.
We are hired by ecommerce founders launching their second brand, CTOs at mid-market retailers migrating from legacy platforms, DTC startups needing an MVP fast, and agencies that want a white-label headless solution for their clients.

What custom headless commerce platform reviews say about performance
Real data from our shipped headless projects.
Clients consistently report faster load times after moving to headless. One fashion brand saw mobile page speed improve from 6 seconds to 1.2 seconds, lifting conversion rates by 22%.
Our architecture uses Next.js static generation and Vercel edge caching. Average load time across all headless deployments is under 1.5 seconds. Uptime stays at 99.9%.
How IRPR compares to generic dev shops
Not all headless development is the same.
Many agencies bill hourly and deliver without a clear scope. IRPR uses a fixed-price model after a 1-2 week Roadmap phase. You know the exact cost before we write a line of code.
We also build for compliance and long-term ownership. Every project ships with a full test suite, CI/CD pipeline, and complete source code ownership. You are not locked into a monthly retainer.
- Hourly billing with unpredictable costs
- No formal roadmap or scope lock
- Uses jQuery or outdated frameworks
- No CI/CD pipeline delivered
- No security or compliance review
- Limited post-launch support
- Fixed price from the Roadmap phase
- 8-12 week MVP timeline with weekly demos
- Next.js + Vercel + Shopify/Commercetools
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions and preview deployments
- PCI-DSS and SOC 2 compliance built-in

Our process for custom headless commerce platforms
From idea to deploy in 8-12 weeks.
Each project starts with a 1-week Idea phase where we validate your requirements and technical constraints. We then deliver a Roadmap document with a fixed price and timeline.
The build phase uses two-week sprints with continuous deployment to a staging environment. You see working software every sprint. We handle deployment to production with a launch checklist and monitoring.
