We published the Vue Storefront 2.5.0 version with plenty of new bug fixes and improvements, but there are some that deserve a special shoutout. Here we go. First things first: to help the application’s performance and create a faster and more reliable experience for the final user, we removed the generation of the Cookies from […]
Improving the performance of web applications will always be sexy. We want the page to load faster, smoother, and without too many layout shifts (Core Web Vitals, I am looking at you 😉). If you search in Google for terms like vue/nuxt performance you will get a bunch of documentation and articles you can use […]
There is no big eCommerce platform without payment by credit cards. The protection features and popularity of the credit cards themselves encourage the use of that method broadly. That’s why the modern online shop still needs credit cards on its checkout next to express transfers, eWallets and a whole variety of other local payment methods […]

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. Moreover, when it comes to content management, especially text content, they have a lot to say. They manage heavy code-bases on a daily basis and the separation of the backend concern from the […]
The article has been updated: 20/12/2021 Headless Commerce, a relatively new software development concept, recently became one of the most significant eCommerce trends. The core idea of separating the UI (frontend) from the application logic (backend) provides even the most mature businesses with the maneuverability and flexibility of a start-up.

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. From the very beginning, we were constantly improving Vue Storefront with every iteration […]

Anybody familiar with MACH-oriented trends in eCommerce knows this already household name. This CMS is one of the brightest and most appreciated stars on the newborn “headless” tech scene, and already brought the attention of the most notable eCommerce businesses and […]
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.
