We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with FATCHIP GmbH, one of the leading OXID eSales agencies in Germany and a trusted expert for scalable, enterprise-level commerce solutions. Together, Laioutr and FATCHIP are combining strengths to redefine how businesses build and manage digital storefronts within the OXID ecosystem, making modern, composable frontends accessible, efficient, and future-ready.
For over 20 years, FATCHIP has been known as one of the most experienced technical agencies in the OXID eSales ecosystem. Their team specializes in custom eCommerce development, complex integrations, and scalable backend architectures, helping leading brands grow sustainably in the digital marketplace. From building tailored online stores to optimizing enterprise processes, FATCHIP has consistently been a driving force in maintaining OXID’s reputation for reliability and performance. Now, through this partnership, FATCHIP and Laioutr are joining forces to bring the same level of excellence to the frontend experience, turning powerful backends into fast, flexible, and visually managed storefronts.
OXID eSales is a robust commerce platform, built to handle complex product structures, B2B workflows, and enterprise-scale operations. But like many established systems, its default templating approach (based on PHP and Smarty) can limit how quickly teams can evolve their storefronts. Every visual or structural change, from updating layouts to launching campaigns, often requires developer involvement, slowing down marketing teams and increasing operational costs. In an era where speed, performance, and agility define competitiveness, merchants are increasingly looking for modern frontend solutions that connect directly to their OXID backend, without needing to rebuild everything from scratch. That’s where Laioutr comes in.
Laioutr is a Frontend Management Platform (FMP), a new category of software that helps brands manage their entire frontend layer visually and programmatically. It integrates seamlessly with OXID eSales via APIs, allowing merchants to replace static templates with a modern, Vue.js-based frontend that’s fast, flexible, and easy to maintain. With Laioutr, teams can:
Build and manage storefronts visually, no coding required
Connect OXID data directly through the API layer
Reuse pre-built components optimized for accessibility and Core Web Vitals
Manage global design tokens for brand consistency across markets
Deploy instantly via global edge hosting
It’s the perfect complement to OXID’s backend strength, turning a powerful commerce core into a high-performance, composable digital experience.
Both FATCHIP and Laioutr share a common goal: to help merchants modernize their digital commerce architecture without unnecessary complexity.
FATCHIP’s deep OXID expertise ensures that backend processes, from inventory and pricing to order management, stay reliable and efficient. Laioutr adds a composable, API-first frontend layer that delivers the flexibility, speed, and UX today’s customers expect. Together, they create a future-ready OXID stack that’s both technically strong and creatively agile.
In a traditional setup, OXID frontend customization can consume up to half of a project’s timeline. By using Laioutr’s ready-to-use component library and visual management tools, agencies like FATCHIP can launch projects faster while maintaining consistent quality. For merchants, this means:
Reduced development hours
Fewer dependencies on specific developers
Easier maintenance and updates
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
It’s a win-win for both sides, faster go-lives for agencies, lower operational costs for clients.
Regulatory requirements like WCAG 3.0 accessibility and the European Accessibility Act 2025 are becoming increasingly critical for eCommerce businesses. Laioutr frontends are built with compliance in mind from the start, every component is accessible, GDPR-friendly, and performance-optimized. Combined with FATCHIP’s enterprise-grade development and QA standards, the result is a solution that’s not only powerful but legally future-proof.
The future of eCommerce is composable, using best-in-class services for each part of the tech stack. Through this partnership, FATCHIP clients can now extend OXID setups with a modern composable frontend, connecting seamlessly to:
Headless CMS platforms (Storyblok, Contentful, Sanity)
Search and recommendation engines (Algolia, Google Vertex AI)
Performance and CDN tools (Speed Kit, Smoxy, Cloudflare)
This approach ensures that OXID merchants stay competitive in a multi-system world, while retaining the stability and maturity of their existing backend.
This partnership isn’t just about technology, it’s about future-proofing OXID projects. By bringing Laioutr’s Frontend Management Platform into the OXID ecosystem, FATCHIP can now offer clients:
Modern composable frontends without replatforming
Faster delivery and easier maintenance
Improved performance and Core Web Vitals scores
Lower TCO through continuous product evolution
For OXID merchants, it’s the simplest path to modernization, keeping the backend they trust, while adopting the frontend flexibility they need.
The collaboration between FATCHIP and Laioutr marks an important step in bringing modern frontend management to the OXID eSales ecosystem. With FATCHIP’s technical depth and Laioutr’s innovative frontend technology, merchants now have access to a complete commerce architecture that’s fast, compliant, and designed for continuous growth. It’s not just an upgrade, it’s the next evolution of OXID.
