6. Westwing
The German design and home-living brand Westwing runs its Shopify Plus store on a fully headless setup, building the frontend separately from the backend so its team controls fonts, layouts, and UI outside Shopify's defaults. The migration preserved existing SEO-friendly product URLs and used an adapted version of Shopify Checkout, so the switch stayed invisible to shoppers.
Westwing also runs Salsify for product information management and Algolia for on-site search, on top of Shopify Plus's API-driven backend that now powers one central store replicated across all twelve of its European markets.
7. Bloom Robbins
Bloom Robbins is a successful Slovak store selling health and beauty products, with a focus that goes beyond hair care.
