Shopware is a platform designed for flexibility. With its open architecture, API-first approach, and deep B2C and B2B capabilities, it’s a natural fit for businesses ready to go composable. But while Shopware gets the backend right, most teams still struggle to unlock that same agility on the frontend.

That’s where Laioutr comes in.

As a Frontend Management Platform built for composable commerce, Laioutr supercharges Shopware’s capabilities, turning backend freedom into frontend velocity.

Here’s why Shopware and Laioutr are a perfect match.

1. Shopware Is Open, API-Ready, and Headless-Friendly

Shopware is known for its modern architecture:

• API-first from the ground up

• GraphQL and REST endpoints

• Headless storefront options (including Shopware PWA & Frontends)

• Plugin system for extensibility

• Ready for composable stacks (PIM, CMS, Search, etc.)

This makes Shopware an ideal commerce engine, but not a complete solution for managing your storefront.

You still need to:

• Build or integrate a frontend stack

• Handle layouts, theming, localisation

• Connect multiple data sources visually

• Give marketing teams access without code

That’s where Laioutr picks up.

2. Laioutr Turns Shopware Into a Scalable Visual Frontend System

Laioutr connects to Shopware as your backend and provides:

• A visual builder for non-technical users

• A component system for developers

• Native integrations with CMS, PIM, and search APIs

• Edge-deployed storefronts for global performance

• Built-in support for Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and localisation

It turns Shopware’s flexibility into frontend productivity.

Instead of building from scratch, you manage the frontend like a product, versioned, reusable, and scalable.

Why Not Just Use Shopware’s Storefront or CMS Tools?

Shopware offers:

• A Twig-based theme system

• Basic layout editing with Shopping Experiences

• A headless frontend framework (Shopware Frontends)

But each has limitations:

• ❌ Theme system is tightly coupled and hard to customize at scale

• ❌ Shopping Experiences is not composable or API-aware

• ❌ Shopware Frontends is powerful, but requires heavy developer effort, manual integrations, and no visual layer for marketing

Laioutr solves all of that by being:

• Platform-agnostic (works with Shopware, but also Shopify, Commercetools, etc.)

• Visual-first for marketers, structured for devs

• Performance-optimised without external hosting setup

• Composable-friendly with plug-and-play API blocks

Perfect for Multi-Store, Multi-Market, Multi-Brand

Shopware excels in handling:

• Multi-language

• Multi-currency

• Multi-store setups

But scaling this on the frontend is where most brands fall short.

With Laioutr, you get:

• Versioned themes and design tokens

• Component-level localisation

• Visual control over page variations per region or brand

• One UI system to rule them all

Shopware powers your commerce logic. Laioutr powers your customer-facing experience.
