Does Shopify hydrogen helps in Web apps (PWA) development?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is seeking clarification on whether Shopify Hydrogen supports Progressive Web App (PWA) development, noting they’ve studied Hydrogen’s capabilities for headless eCommerce but found no information about PWA functionality.

Response provided:

  • Another participant suggests using a third-party Shopify app (Wappaa) as a solution
  • The recommended app offers:
    • PWA functionality
    • Push notification features (which can be hidden if only PWA is needed)
    • Simple installation process

Status: The original question about Hydrogen’s native PWA support remains unanswered. The discussion shifted to an alternative app-based solution rather than addressing whether Hydrogen itself has built-in PWA capabilities.

Hello there,

I studied Shopify Hydrogen but didn’t find anything about Web apps. As Hydrogen helps in developing Shopify Headless eCommerce, how does it support PWA?

Please help me find the answer.

Thanks in Advance!
