We handle the entire migration together with you: existing page structures, components, CMS content, and backend connections are transferred, tested, and adapted to Laioutr standards. Thanks to our themes and UI library, most of the effort you originally had to invest for Instant Commerce disappears. Most migrations are productive within a few weeks.

Yes. commercetools is one of the 19+ pre-integrated backend options in Laioutr. You keep your existing commerce stack and only swap out the frontend layer. If you later want to use additional or parallel backends (e.g., for multi-brand with different stacks), Laioutr supports that natively.

Both offer a visual page builder for marketing teams. The difference lies in scope and openness: Instant Commerce is built around the Shopify stack and stays tied to its ecosystem. Laioutr Studio comes with a complete UI library and themes and works across 19+ backends — your marketing teams are productive from day 1, and your architecture stays open.

Standard replatformings on an established backend (Shopify, Shopware, commercetools, etc.) are productive with Laioutr in four to eight weeks. With Instant Commerce, you stay within the Shopify ecosystem, which limits how far the frontend and supported backends can flex as your requirements grow.

Laioutr hosts on Laioutr Cloud (EU, GDPR-compliant), on Vercel, or in your own hosting environment (Bring Your Own Hosting) — your choice. We offer WCAG 3.0 Ready, a DPA on request, and EU data residency — critical for regulated industries (DORA, financial services, public sector).

Yes. Laioutr is built natively for multi-brand and multi-market scenarios. Up to unlimited projects, markets, and domains on the Enterprise plan, with central administration and granular roles. Marketing teams manage content centrally, while sub-brands keep full control over their design.

We publish our plan structure transparently on our pricing page. Three plans (Growth / Pro / Enterprise) cover everything from a single storefront to a global brand portfolio. Instant Commerce publishes only limited pricing and shares terms primarily through sales — a direct price comparison is therefore only possible after requesting an individual quote.

In the Pro plan, you get guaranteed response SLAs; in the Enterprise plan, a dedicated Customer Success Manager on top. Slack Connect, direct founder contact, and German-language support are unique in the DACH market — Instant Commerce operates primarily internationally and without a DACH-specific support model.

Yes. We offer a dedicated switch program for brands moving from an existing frontend platform. An architecture workshop, a migration plan, themes tailored to your design system, and hands-on guidance all the way to go-live are standard.

Reusable components, designs, and content can be carried over into Laioutr. Your existing design system can be reproduced through the Laioutr UI library. Custom logic that lived in your Instant Commerce setup is assessed in the migration workshop — we solve most of it with native Laioutr means, and the rest runs as an app in the Laioutr App Store.
