KanHerb
Headless Commerce Transformation Using Shopify Plus & Gatsby

Project Overview

KanHerb operates a high-volume B2B and B2C eCommerce platform serving practitioners and retail customers. Their existing headless commerce environment had accumulated technical debt, compliance risks, and performance limitations that threatened future scalability.

ClickySoft was engaged to modernize the architecture, resolve critical compliance issues, improve platform stability, and create a scalable foundation for ongoing growth while preserving the benefits of a headless commerce ecosystem.

Timeline: 3 Months (Initial Stabilization & Refactor) + Ongoing Retainer Support

Technology Stack:

Problem

The legacy headless implementation presented several operational and technical challenges:

Security vulnerabilities across the application stack

Shopify API compliance issues requiring immediate remediation

Technical debt from outdated dependencies and architecture

Performance bottlenecks impacting user experience

UI/UX inconsistencies affecting customer journeys

Increasing complexity supporting high-volume practitioner ordering workflows

These issues limited platform reliability and increased operational risk.

Risk

Without intervention, the platform faced several business-critical risks:

API Compliance Violations

Potential disruptions due to Shopify API compliance violations

Security Exposure

Poor User Experience

Scalability Growth Limits

For a commerce platform serving both B2B practitioners and retail customers, these risks directly affected revenue generation and operational continuity.

Decision

ClickySoft executed a comprehensive modernization strategy focused on stability, compliance, and performance.

Key initiatives included:

The objective was not to replace the architecture, but to strengthen and future-proof it.
