Where to draw the boundaries in a content or commerce stack: which stable entities a headless CMS should model and how references and bilingual localization work, and which layer Shopify Hydrogen or Medusa actually owns once your team takes on a custom storefront.

A headless CMS content model should describe your organization's stable entities, not today's page layouts. Here's how to choose entities and references, decide field- or document-level localization for Arabic and English, set publishing rules and migrate without breaking URLs.
Hydrogen builds a custom storefront on Shopify's commerce backend; Medusa gives your team commerce building blocks with managed or self-hosted deployment. Decide who owns each layer, then test local payments, refunds and e-invoicing before you commit.
