Why Laioutr is the Perfect Frontend Companion for commercetools


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

Developers build reusable Vue Components once. Marketers reuse them visually, ensuring consistent UX across your entire storefront.

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

Easily launch multiple storefronts and brands. Laioutr supports layout versions, theming, and global design tokens for seamless Localization.

5. Built-in Performance and Optimization

Every Laioutr frontend is automatically optimised for Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and delivered via global CDN, perfect for performance-focused Commercetools brands.
