Hydrogen 2026-10 now available

The new Hydrogen is generally available today. Since the developer preview started in June, we’ve shipped seven releases based on feedback from developers using it.

The big deal about the new Hydrogen is that it isn’t a big deal: Hydrogen now works with any JavaScript framework. You can bring Shopify’s commerce to your stack just by adding the library to your app, instead of needing to replatform.

Hydrogen then handles commerce for you: the cart, variant selection, prices in the buyer’s currency, analytics that respect consent, Shop Pay, and customer login. React Router and Next.js have starters ready to deploy, and you can host it anywhere, including Oxygen, which is still free.

Read more in the changelog post, or take a look at our dev docs to get started.

We’re really excited about this next evolution of Hydrogen. We’ve heard from many of you over the past few years about wanting to bring your own JavaScript framework.

The other thing I’ll call out is that this new version has been built with agentic engineering in mind from the outset. The API design and the skills that ship with the package allow your agents to build on known primitives to execute your plan.
