Shopify's Hydrogen framework now works on Netlify with React Router 7 and Hydrogen 2026.1.0. The Netlify Hydrogen template has been fully rebuilt, and @netlify/vite-plugin-react-router now supports Hydrogen sites out of the box. The updated template also comes with two meaningful improvements:
- Netlify Cache API integration — Data fetching is cached using the Netlify Cache API , giving you low-latency responses without extra configuration.
- Full local platform emulation — The Netlify Vite Plugin provides zero-config local emulation of Blobs, Functions, Edge Functions, and AI Gateway during development, so what you test locally matches what runs in production.
To get started with a new Hydrogen site on Netlify, deploy the updated template: Deploy to Netlify To move an existing Hydrogen site over to Netlify, follow the How to deploy a Shopify Hydrogen storefront to Netlify guide. Learn more:
