Deploy the backend service on a server that only supports IPv6, and then use Nginx to reverse proxy it for frontend store usage. For customers, will there be any IP issues, conflicts, or unsuccessful connections? Will customers using IPv4 be unable to access the store?

direct communication between IPv4 and IPv6 is not possible

You need a common element where IPv4 can be translated to IPv6, if your storefront sits on IPv4 and has IPv6 as well you can have your backend on IPv6 only.

My backend server only has IP6, if I install the backend on the IP6 server, my storefront server has IP4 and IP6, if the customer uses IP4 from the storefront is not able to connect to the backend service, then I have to buy both IP4 and IP6 servers

If the storefront has both should work as the end user interacts with the frontend only, however will be a management nightmare as you will have to have IPv6 as well to be able to connect to the admin or you split it as well
