Technology: Vue Storefront

Vue Storefront is worth it when your shop backend works well but the frontend is too slow, too rigid or looking dated. We put the headless storefront on top of existing platforms like Shopware, Commercetools or Magento, so you keep your backend and only decouple the frontend. It pays off most when fast load times and a distinctive look are business-critical.

Vue Storefront connects to your shop backend via API, and we rely on the existing connectors for Shopware, Commercetools or Magento. Your backend stays the source for catalogue, prices, cart and checkout, while the storefront sits in front as a decoupled frontend built on Vue.js and Nuxt. That way your business logic stays untouched and we build the interface fresh on top of it.

You're free: we build the interface on Storefront UI, a customisable component system that we tailor to your branding and your buying journey. Because frontend and backend are decoupled, there are none of the rigid template limits you get with classic shop themes. Components can be extended, swapped out or built fully custom wherever you need it.

Since Vue Storefront only replaces the frontend and keeps using your backend through its API, the migration happens without touching your shop logic. We build the new storefront in parallel, wire up payment, search and tracking, and only go live after thorough testing. If you currently run a tightly coupled storefront, we plan the cut between backend API and new frontend carefully.

If your shop is small or your platform's standard storefront is enough, the extra effort of a decoupled architecture is rarely justified. Vue Storefront shines when you have high performance demands, a custom interface and larger catalogues, but it also adds a separate frontend codebase that has to be run and maintained. In those cases we'll tell you honestly whether a classic theme or a different headless setup is the better fit.
