  The Shopify Storefront API is a GraphQL API that enables developers to build
  custom headless storefronts, purchasing flows, and commerce experiences using

  collections, carts, checkout, customer accounts, and contextual pricing.
  It is designed for headless commerce architectures and powers the Shopify
