Headless Commerce Development PricingPricing
Know the cost before you build. 12-week MVP from a team that has shipped 200+ products.
IRPR builds headless commerce storefronts using Next.js, Shopify Storefront API, and Stripe for payments. We separate the frontend from the backend so you can deliver faster checkout and better mobile experiences.
A headless commerce MVP ships in 12 weeks at a fixed price of $80K-$250K. We handle PCI-DSS compliance and load testing for traffic spikes.

Why headless commerce pricing varies
Cost depends on integrations, data migration, and custom frontend work.
A simple headless storefront with standard Shopify APIs costs less than a multi-store hub with ERP integration. Each integration adds 2-4 weeks of development time.
IRPR breaks down pricing during the 2-week Roadmap phase. You get a fixed quote before any code is written.
Fixed price vs hourly billing
Hourly projects often run 40% over budget.
With hourly billing, you never know the final cost. Scope creep, slow communication, and junior devs inflate invoices.
IRPR gives you a fixed price after the Roadmap phase. No surprises, no hidden fees.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No discovery phase
- Vague timeline
- Scope creep welcome
- Junior developers
- No post-launch guarantee
- Fixed price from week 2
- 2-week Roadmap phase
- 12-week timeline
- Scope locked in contract
- Senior engineers only
- 12-month warranty on code
