Shopify’s Hydrogen framework now works on Netlify with React Router 7 and Hydrogen 2026.1.0. The [Netlify Hydrogen template](https://github.com/netlify/hydrogen-template) has been fully rebuilt, and [`@netlify/vite-plugin-react-router`](https://npmx.dev/package/@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](https://docs.netlify.com/build/caching/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:
