I’d like to share with you some insights from an issue that I was dealing with, it was applying custom GraphQL queries for commercetools integration. Custom Query! […]
Going through the implementation of basic server-side rendering. Building front-end apps is no longer limited to taking care of what is happening only in the browser.

From the very beginning, we were constantly improving Vue Storefront with every iteration […]
I personally really like to think that what we’ve already done, what we’re working on — it’s just a beginning. As idealistic as it sounds it’s very often so true. Storefront API is a GraphQL unified API for any frontend you might want to have: Angular, React, Vue — no problem. Storefront API — General Purpose, GraphQL eCommerce Gateway Storefront API […]

One of the key USPs (Unique Selling Proposition — unique feature) of Vue storefront is that it might work with any eCommerce backend platform. We do support quite many backends just outside the box: Magento1 and Magento2, Pimcore, EpiServer, Spree, OpenCart, Shopware6. … but there is a way to integrate your own, 3rd party platform as well.
