H&B was wise to the improvements they've seen in other Hydrogen experiences and hoping to leverage the speed and modularity gains we combined the Shopify experience with a Sanity CMS. Instead of using cumbersome metafield editors that they had to repopulate everytime they made any new colors/styles of products we gave them a custom sync solution to craft product landing experiences that made adding additional colors to the product offerring a breeze while still having tons of custom modules at the product level.
We choose Hydrogen as the solution because of the hosted by Shopify offering and the recent support from Shopify (buying remix) made it obvious that Shopify wasn't bowing out of headless for a while. We also leveraged algolia to replace some existing apps handling the search that just weren't cutting it, we also added a handful of other new component and content types to make building and creating unique product landings, duplicate products with refined color offerings, bundles with nested relational products and more.
