Mintec unlocks your brand's potential by going Headless. We keep the robust backends (Shopify, BigCommerce) but replace the slow, generic frontends with ultra-fast custom code. The result? A site that feels like an app, loads instantly, and converts significantly higher.
Why Headless E-commerce Wins in 2026
The data speaks clearly: according to Portent, an e-commerce site loading in 1 second converts 3x higher than one loading in 5 seconds. Headless architectures — where the frontend is decoupled from the backend — are the only way to hit those speeds without sacrificing commercial flexibility.
We work with retail brands across Mexico, Colombia, and Chile operating on Shopify Plus and BigCommerce. By migrating to custom Next.js frontends with Static Site Generation (SSG), our clients consistently see performance improvements that transform their bottom line.
Case in point: A fashion retailer in Colombia was running on Shopify with a compressed theme. Their homepage took 4.8 seconds to load fully on mobile. We rebuilt their storefront with Next.js and deployed on Vercel with a global CDN. Results: load time dropped to 0.9 seconds, conversion rate increased 27%, and pages per session rose 43%.
