I only evaluated Shopify for a project, so I have limited experience. But from what I know you don’t need to use their CMS. They have a very well documented API so you can integrate with them as a backend service that just handles the e-commerce side of things. If you go that route it is on you whether your store is slow or not.

Indeed! I've been looking into trying out a JAMStack-style website using the Shopify API [0]. Some starter templates: Gatsby-Shopify: https://github.com/AlexanderProd/gatsby-shopify-starter https://github.com/AlexanderProd/gatsby-shopify-starter Gridsome-Shopify: https://gridsome.org/starters/platform/shopify/ https://gridsome.org/starters/platform/shopify/ I wish Shopify's pricing page was clearer on which plan I need to use the API.
