Commercetools redefined commerce architecture. With its MACH-certified, API-first approach, it empowers brands to build flexible, scalable, and composable commerce experiences. But with all this flexibility comes a critical question:
What about the frontend?
While Commercetools offers incredible power on the backend, brands need a frontend layer that’s equally flexible, scalable, and marketer-friendly. That’s exactly why Laioutr is the perfect match for Commercetools. Let’s break it down.
 
The Commercetools Frontend Challenge
Commercetools provides a powerful, headless backend that manages your:
- 
Product catalog
 
- 
Cart and checkout
 
- 
Orders and pricing
 
- 
Omnichannel operations
 
- 
API-driven integrations
 
But Commercetools doesn’t prescribe how you build your storefront. You have complete freedom, which also means:
- 
You need to choose a frontend framework.
 
- 
Developers must build and maintain UI components.
 
- 
Marketers still rely on dev teams for every page update.
 
- 
Scaling storefronts can be slow and complex.
 
In other words, frontend agility can lag behind backend flexibility.
 
Laioutr: The Frontend Management Platform commercetools Needs
Laioutr solves this by giving you a Frontend Management Platform, a single, visual, and collaborative interface that bridges your Commercetools backend with your customer-facing storefronts. Here’s why Laioutr complements Commercetools perfectly:
1. Visual Page Builder for Marketing Teams
No more waiting for developers. Marketing teams create, edit, and publish pages using Laioutr Studio with no coding required.
2. Component-Driven Frontends

3. API-First Integration
Laioutr connects directly to Commercetools via GraphQL or REST APIs. Display products, prices, carts, and checkout dynamically—without custom coding each time.
4. Multi-store, Multi-brand, and Localization
