Introducing the Laioutr Open Source Connector for Emporix: The Fastest Way to Build Composable Frontends on Emporix


Today, we’re excited to release a major milestone for our ecosystem: The Laioutr Open Source Connector for Emporix, now publicly available and ready to use, extend, and adapt for any composable commerce project. This connector makes it easier than ever to combine Emporix’s powerful Commerce Orchestration Platform with the speed, structure, and flexibility of the Laioutr Frontend Management Platform. Whether you’re an agency, a merchant, or a technology provider, this integration enables you to build high-performing frontends on Emporix in a fraction of the time.

Why This Connector Matters

Emporix is one of the strongest platforms in the enterprise commerce landscape, especially for complex B2B, B2C, marketplace, and multi-entity setups. Its headless and API-driven architecture gives companies enormous flexibility – but building a modern frontend on top of it has traditionally required significant engineering effort.

That’s exactly where Laioutr comes in. With this connector, teams can:

  • Plug Emporix into Laioutr in minutes, not weeks

  • Use pre-built API mappings for products, categories, carts, and checkouts

  • Feed all Emporix endpoints into Laioutr Orchestr, our Backend-for-Frontend

  • Build and manage storefronts visually, without redeployment cycles

  • Combine Emporix with other systems like Storyblok, Algolia, PIMs, or marketing tools

  • Ship fast, consistent, high-performing frontends

And because the connector is fully open source, it gives brands full control to customize, extend, and evolve it exactly for their business needs.

What the Connector Includes

The new Laioutr x Emporix connector provides:

Complete Emporix API Integration

Ready-to-use endpoints for:

  • Products

  • Categories

  • Carts

  • Inventory

  • Pricing

  • Customer accounts

  • Orders

  • Search & listing

  • Custom project-specific endpoints

All mapped into a unified schema that Laioutr Orchestr can process and deliver to components.

Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) Compatibility

The connector is fully compatible with Laioutr Orchestr, meaning:

  • API calls are normalized

  • Responses are cached intelligently using Laioutr’s 2-stage caching

  • Multiple systems can be merged into a single response for the frontend

Your storefront components get exactly the data they need, without complexity.

Composable by Default

Emporix data becomes plug-and-play within Laioutr’s component ecosystem. That means you can build:

  • Product listing pages

  • PDPs

  • Category pages

  • Checkout flows

  • Dashboard / account views

…all using reusable components that work across brands and markets.

Open Source & Extensible

Developers can fork, modify, extend, or contribute to the connector. This gives teams complete freedom to implement:

  • Custom endpoints

  • Market-specific logic

  • Middleware extensions

  • Additional security layers

  • Data enrichment workflows

Open source means no lock-in, no black box, just collaboration and flexibility.

How It Works with Laioutr Orchestr

Laioutr Orchestr acts as the Backend-for-Frontend layer, sitting between Emporix and the Laioutr-powered storefront. With the connector live, Orchestr can:

  • Combine Emporix APIs with data from CMS, PIM, ERP or marketing tools

  • Normalize everything into a unified structure

  • Apply caching, rate limiting, and validation

  • Provide the frontend with a clean, predictable response

  • Support global multi-market setups

This results in faster development, fewer integration risks, and a highly consistent frontend architecture.

What This Means for Agencies

For implementation partners, the connector offers a massive shortcut. Instead of building custom integration logic from scratch, agencies can:

  • Start projects faster

  • Reduce risk and complexity

  • Focus on UX, brand, and performance

  • Deliver more consistent results

  • Reuse the same integration across multiple clients

Laioutr becomes the stable infrastructure, and agencies can focus on delivering value.

What This Means for Merchants

For merchants, the connector unlocks several key advantages:

Faster Time-to-Market

Frontends on Emporix can now be launched in days instead of months.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

No repeated integration work. No long deployments. Reusable components and orchestration reduce long-term cost dramatically.

Better Performance

Two-stage Laioutr caching ensures fast loading times, even with complex catalogs or pricing logic.

Multi-Market Ready

Emporix supports highly modular architectures, Laioutr makes them manageable visually and operationally.

Composable Flexibility

Combine Emporix with any CMS, PIM, search provider, personalization engine, or loyalty tool, all through Laioutr.

A Strong Step Forward in Our Emporix Partnership

Releasing this connector is part of a broader collaboration between Laioutr and Emporix, one that reflects a shared belief: Composable commerce should be flexible, fast, and straightforward.

The Emporix platform provides a powerful, enterprise-ready commerce foundation. Laioutr brings the frontend speed, simplicity, and structure on top. Side by side, the two platforms enable digital teams to build modern storefronts without friction, and without sacrificing performance or scalability.

What’s Next?

We’re already working on:

  • A set of Emporix + Laioutr starter templates

  • A full demo storefront driven entirely by the connector

  • Advanced B2B-focused components (quotations, ordering lists, company accounts)

  • Additional open source contributions around analytics and personalization

The connector is just the first step, more tools, demos, and shared resources will follow soon.

Final Thoughts

Composable commerce is at its best when systems fit together naturally. With the new Emporix Open Source Connector, we’re making it easier than ever to build fast, beautiful, and scalable frontends – without reinventing the wheel. We can’t wait to see what agencies, developers, and merchants build with it.
