## What does a headless frontend for Magento 2 mean?
A headless frontend for Magento 2 separates the storefront, everything customers see, from the Magento backend with products, orders, checkout and stores. Instead of the Luma storefront, the frontend connects via the Magento GraphQL API and can be designed freely, without theme limits and with full control over performance.
[Book a strategy call](https://www.laioutr.com/en/contact)
### 1. The backend stays Magento
Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce continues to manage products, categories, stores, customer groups, orders, taxes and checkout. The Magento admin stays unchanged, with all extensions and workflows.
### 2. The frontend is chosen
Four options are established: Hyvä Themes (performance without headless), PWA Studio (Adobe's official headless framework), a custom build with Next.js or Nuxt, or a frontend management platform like Laioutr. Each has its place.
### 3. Data flows via GraphQL
No second data store and no sync conflicts: Laioutr reads categories, products, variants and the cart directly via the Magento GraphQL API, multi-store included. Checkout, customer account and B2B features are connected in the project via Orchestr.
OPTIONS
## Which frontend options are there for Magento?
Magento has one of the most diverse frontend landscapes of the major e-commerce platforms. Four options are established in the market, each with clear strengths and limits. Here is when each one pays off.
[Book a strategy call](https://www.laioutr.com/en/contact)
### 1. Hyvä Themes
A performance theme as an alternative to Luma, significantly faster than the default theme, built on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, not headless. Very popular in the DACH Magento ecosystem. A good fit for solving Luma storefront performance issues without moving to a headless architecture. If Hyvä meets all requirements, Laioutr is not needed.
### 2. PWA Studio
Adobe's official headless framework for Magento and Adobe Commerce, React-based and deeply integrated into the Adobe stack. A good fit for experienced React teams with an Adobe strategy and a matching engineering budget. PWA Studio is code-first and requires in-house maintenance.
### 3. Custom Build (Next.js or Nuxt)
Maximum control, highest effort. A six- to twelve-month build phase and ongoing maintenance by an in-house React or Vue team. A good fit when frontend engineering is a strategic core competence.
### 4. Laioutr
A frontend management platform with a visual builder, 70+ components, an integrated headless CMS and multi-backend support, with EU hosting as an add-on. Fast time to launch, gentle learning curve, backend flexibility for the future. A good fit for a fast go-live, more marketing velocity and independence from the Adobe stack.
USE CASES
## What teams build with Laioutr for Magento
Laioutr is designed for Magento setups that need to change or modernize quickly: from multi-store setups to replacing PWA Studio.
[Book a strategy call](https://www.laioutr.com/en/contact)
### Multi-store storefronts on one Magento backend
Magento Multi-Store with Stores, Store Views, and Websites. Its own layout, its own assortments, its own languages per store, with a unified backend.
### B2B portals with Adobe Commerce B2B features
Adobe Commerce B2B provides company accounts, quote management and approval workflows. Laioutr connects these features in the project via Orchestr and renders them in dedicated B2B components.
### Replatforming from Luma to headless without touching the backend
The Luma storefront is replaced, the Magento backend stays unchanged. Phased migration, with a clear rollback plan.
### Replatforming from PWA Studio with high maintenance effort
An existing PWA Studio stack is to be replaced because the React team has been thinned out or maintenance costs are rising. Laioutr takes over with a low learning curve.
### Greenfield storefronts on new Magento projects
A new Magento project, a fresh start. With Blueprints and the component library, the storefront is productive within weeks.
### Multi-brand setups on Adobe Commerce
Multiple brands on one Adobe Commerce instance with standalone frontends, their own domains, and a shared backend.
Laioutr vs. Adobe Commerce PWA Studio
## Laioutr and PWA Studio compared
PWA Studio is Adobe's official headless product for Magento and Adobe Commerce, React-based, deeply integrated into the Adobe stack, and developed by Adobe itself. Laioutr is a complete Frontend Management Platform with a visual builder, a component library, and multi-backend support. Both work with Magento. Those who want to launch fast and work cross-functionally are more productive with Laioutr. Those who want to stay in the Adobe stack get the most native solution with PWA Studio.

MAGENTO 2
### When PWA Studio is the right choice
The strategic commitment to Adobe Commerce is long-term, a React team with Adobe stack experience is in place, and Adobe Experience Manager or other Adobe products are in use. Typical case: an enterprise Adobe customer with an existing Adobe suite strategy.
LAIOUTR
### When Laioutr is the right choice
Go-live in weeks instead of months, backend flexibility for the future (for example Shopify or commercetools), marketing builds pages independently, and BFSG compliance should be covered without a separate audit. Typical case: a mid-market Magento shop that wants to modernize without committing to Adobe.
BLUEPRINTS
## Start with a Blueprint instead of from scratch
Blueprints are pre-composed frontends for each industry, ready to customize and combinable with Magento 2 as the data source. A suitable starting point shortens the path to go-live.

FAQ
## FAQ on headless frontends for Magento 2
Does Laioutr work with Magento 2 Open Source and Adobe Commerce?
Yes. Laioutr uses the GraphQL API available in Magento 2 Open Source and Adobe Commerce. The standard connector covers catalog, categories, search and cart; Adobe Commerce-specific B2B features such as company accounts and quote management are connected in the project via Orchestr.
How is Laioutr different from PWA Studio?
PWA Studio is Adobe's official React framework for headless Magento, code-first and integrated into the Adobe stack. Laioutr is a ready-made frontend platform with a visual builder, 70+ components and an integrated headless CMS, with hosting available as an add-on. That means a faster go-live, a gentler learning curve and no tie to Adobe as the backend.
What about Hyvä Themes? Does Laioutr compete with it?
Not directly. Hyvä is a performance theme as an alternative to Luma, not headless. If Hyvä solves the performance issues and headless is not planned, Hyvä may be the better choice. Laioutr becomes relevant when marketing velocity, multi-brand or backend flexibility matter in addition to performance.
How does Laioutr integrate the Magento GraphQL API?
Laioutr connects via the official Magento GraphQL endpoint. The standard connector covers categories, products, variants, search and cart, multi-store included. Checkout, customer account and project-specific logic are added via Orchestr.
Does Laioutr work with Magento Multi-Store?
Yes. Magento Stores, Store Views, and Websites are treated as standalone storefronts in Laioutr. Layouts, assortments, languages, and currencies can be configured separately per store view.
Can we use Adobe Commerce B2B features?
Yes, on a project basis. Adobe Commerce B2B features such as company accounts, quote management, negotiable quotes and approval workflows are available through the GraphQL API; they are connected in the project via Orchestr and rendered in Laioutr components.
How long does a migration from Luma to Laioutr take?
A pilot is usually live within 14 days, and guided migrations to Laioutr take a median of under 14 days. Multi-store setups or Adobe Commerce B2B with custom logic take correspondingly longer. Founder-guided migration is standard, not an extra charge.
What does Laioutr cost compared to PWA Studio?
PWA Studio itself is free (open source), but the engineering and maintenance investment is substantial. Laioutr is SaaS with transparent plans; Studio and components are included, and hosting is available as an add-on. Total cost of ownership is typically lower than with PWA Studio.
Can we switch backends later without rebuilding the frontend?
Yes. Laioutr is backend-agnostic. Switching from Magento to Shopify, Shopware, commercetools, or another backend means reconfiguring an API connection, not rebuilding the frontend.
Is the solution BFSG- and GDPR-compliant?
Yes. GDPR-compliant by design, EU hosting available (further regions on request), regional data residency possible, German-speaking support. WCAG 3.0 and the BFSG (German Accessibility Strengthening Act, mandatory since 2025) are built into the component standard.
What happens to existing Magento extensions?
Backend extensions (inventory, pricing, promotions, shipping, tax) stay unchanged. Frontend-oriented extensions (pop-ups, reviews, personalization) are typically replaced by Laioutr components or pre-integrated apps from the Laioutr App Store. The extension stack is reviewed in the migration audit.
Which headless frontend options exist for Magento 2?
There are essentially three ways to build a headless frontend on Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce): Adobe PWA Studio (the official React framework, code-first), a custom build with frameworks such as Alokai, Next.js or Nuxt, or a ready-made frontend management platform like Laioutr with a visual builder, 70+ components and EU hosting as an add-on. Hyvä, by contrast, is a performance theme, not a headless approach. More on the concept: [Composable Headless Frontend](https://www.laioutr.com/en/composable-headless-frontend).
What does Magento headless commerce mean?
Magento headless commerce means Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce remains the backend for catalog, prices, cart and checkout, while the storefront runs decoupled via GraphQL. With Laioutr as the frontend management platform (FMP), marketing builds pages in the visual editor, developers extend through components, and EU hosting is available as an add-on. The backend stays as it is: no replatforming, but the first step toward a composable commerce architecture.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",

Laioutr is a ready-made frontend platform with a visual builder, 70+ components and an integrated headless CMS, with hosting available as an add-on. That means a faster go-live, a gentler learning curve and no tie to Adobe as the backend.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",

Laioutr becomes relevant when marketing velocity, multi-brand or backend flexibility matter in addition to performance.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "There are essentially three ways to build a headless frontend on Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce): Adobe PWA Studio (the official React framework, code-first), a custom build with frameworks such as Alokai, Next.js or Nuxt, or a ready-made frontend management platform like Laioutr with a visual builder, 70+ components and EU hosting as an add-on. Hyvä, by contrast, is a performance theme, not a headless approach. More on the concept: Composable Headless Frontend.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Magento headless commerce means Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce remains the backend for catalog, prices, cart and checkout, while the storefront runs decoupled via GraphQL. With Laioutr as the frontend management platform (FMP), marketing builds pages in the visual editor, developers extend through components, and EU hosting is available as an add-on. The backend stays as it is: no replatforming, but the first step toward a composable commerce architecture.
