The ShopFront plugin, which pushes variables, components, and section masters directly into your Figma file — all bound to live tokens, nothing detached. You also get access to a dedicated skill server and the AI integration layer. The system lives inside your workspace; there's no master file to inherit, fork, or fall out of sync with.

Agencies apply for partnership and sign a contract. Once approved, you purchase a license per project or brand through us. Each license provisions a dedicated skill server for that client, and the plugin pushes the full system into their Figma workspace. There's no limit on how many designers can work inside it.

Brands can purchase a license directly — no approval process. You get your own skill server and the plugin pushes the full system into your Figma workspace. Every agency or vendor you work with operates inside the same system, keeping design consistent across teams.

Unlimited. Licenses are scoped to a project or brand, not a seat count. Add as many designers as you need — they all work inside the same system with the same tokens and skills.

No. ShopFront ships with Dawn, Horizon, and Broadcast support built in, but the token layer is theme-agnostic. It works equally well with fully custom themes and headless builds — Hydrogen, Next.js, or any frontend. The system doesn't depend on any single theme.

Checkout and account flows are pushed as a separate module — same plugin, same skill server. Components are mapped to Shopify-owned variables, and the AI layer wires the checkout module into the rest of your system automatically.

Yes. The system works at every stage — start with structural wireframes that map to real Shopify sections, then apply brand tokens to bring them to production quality. You're never switching tools or rebuilding. The same components carry you from first sketch to final handoff.

Very. Because you're working within a controlled, token-bound system, every test variation stays on-brand and implementation-ready. No one-off mockups that break the system — every change maps to real Shopify settings. Faster iteration, cleaner handoff to dev, fewer regressions.

The ShopFront plugin is a theme controller, skill engine, AI chat, and CLI in one panel. Use it to skin the design system to any brand, store and run skills (like applying metaobject naming or enforcing tokens), ask questions about usage, and execute commands. Your AI tool can also connect directly to the skill server — the plugin chat is convenient but not required.

No. The plugin has built-in AI chat that connects via your own API key, but you can also connect any external AI tool to your skill server. Both read from the same skills and documentation — same output regardless of which tool you use.
