Updates

The new Hydrogen is generally available today. Since the developer preview started in June, we've shipped seven releases based on feedback from developers using it.

The big deal about the new Hydrogen is that it isn't a big deal: Hydrogen now works with any JavaScript framework. You can bring Shopify's commerce to your stack just by adding the library to your app, instead of needing to replatform.

Hydrogen then handles commerce for you: the cart, variant selection, prices in the buyer's currency, analytics that respect consent, Shop Pay, and customer login. React Router and Next.js have starters ready to deploy, and you can host it anywhere, including Oxygen, which is still free.

The package also includes skills that teach coding agents how to use it. To try it in an existing project, run npx @shopify/hydrogen@latest setup and ask your agent to "Set up my store with Shopify."

• Predictive search in the React Router template: Product suggestions appear as shoppers type.

• Currency on product views: Product view events carry their own currency, so Shopify analytics reports them correctly without extra setup.

• UCP business profile: Agents using the Universal Commerce Protocol find your store's business profile on your storefront's domain.
