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. We need to dig into the server-side as well if we want to provide reliable software. A couple of years ago, when the single-page apps were born, we moved […]
The new and always better Storefront UI is on the clear road to the stable version. Why not 0.9.0 is what we are talking about? Because we always try to be better and 1 is ‘true’ and 0 is not 😉 But seriously, we strongly recommend using this release, as we fixed some small bugs […]
Let’s cut to the chase… 2020 will be the year of accessible web pages. It is already required by law for federal and government websites to follow WCAG guidelines, and it is only a matter of time when accessibility becomes the next must-have, particularly in eCommerce sites where access to all people at all times […]
Headless apps, in general, is a relatively new approach, but developers are very often the early adopters for new tools and practices.

After almost 3 years of building Vue Storefront together with our community, we learned a lot. It’s safe to say that after such a long time we have very deep and unique knowledge about the needs, weaknesses, and strengths of headless eCommerce.

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.

UX is gaining importance not only in terms of brand awareness but also conversion – all available data has left that issue without any doubts. Yet, for eCommerce businesses, it has been challenging to keep up with all the UX-trends without diving into time-consuming and expensive changes in the system’s architecture. Until now.

Vue Storefront, though platform-agnostic by design, was always in a very close relationship with Magento because that was the platform on which we were able to make the most dynamic and visible performance gains.
