No, traditional Shopify themes do not directly support headless commerce because they rely on Shopify’s built-in storefront system. Headless commerce separates the frontend user experience from Shopify’s backend, allowing brands to build custom storefronts using technologies like Shopify Hydrogen and deploy them with Shopify Oxygen. However, Shopify themes and headless storefronts can both use Shopify’s commerce infrastructure, APIs, products, checkout, and customer management features.
