Jannik Wempe yeah, basic is probably more than enough to start with, but from some research I found some devs experiencing the need to move into plus plan in order to provide better UX as the storefront GQL API is limited to some queries/mutations on basic plan, therefore my concern how limited it actually is thanks a lot for the answer!

Thanks for the article, nice summary! quick question Jannik Wempe, are you on Shopify plus for this? I'm researching because a relative wants to sell some products and so far I have seen the problem is that you need to be on Shopify plus plan to sort out important limitations like limit access to storefront GQL API (i.e. cannot show current/previous purchases to users or access customer details), no checkout personalization, no way to reuse payment method or coupons, ...etc UX is not that great so it looks like you are finally forced to go into plus and pay 2K/month regardless the hosting provider is ox or vercel, so shopify itself is quite expensive for headless stores imho otherwise it is maybe smarter to go with a non headless approach and pay less but then you miss the control on your own storefront and limited to shopify no code tools
