Alokai Reviews & Product Details

Vue Storefront provides an unparalleled combination of flexibility and performance. One standout feature for us has been its compatibility with Vendure on the backend. This dual architecture, both leveraging TypeScript/JavaScript, harmonizes perfectly to yield an incredibly reliable, flexible, and scalable solution. The platform's progressive web app (PWA) nature ensures fast, mobile-first experiences, essential for our mobile-savvy audience. Additionally, the active community and rich documentation have been immensely beneficial, offering timely support and facilitating a smooth learning process.

While Vue Storefront is incredibly robust and versatile, beginners might face a bit of a steep learning curve initially. However, with the abundant resources and supportive community, this challenge is quickly mitigated over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In combination with Storefront UI, Vue Storefront is a quick way to start your e-commerce project.

It is customisable and extendible.

If you grow out of your e-commerce backend or other services, VSF makes it easy to switch in the background.

VSF is popular amongst e-commerce vendors, solution integrators, users and developers, which leads to many community contributions and an always-increasing repertoire of integrations.

The core team of VSF is experienced, knowledgeable and well-connected in the Vue community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like most platforms using modern JavaScript libraries, the bundle sizes users have to download are significant, which can be counter-productive since improving page speed is usually the goal of implementing a new frontend.

Due diligence is vital. Requirements should be verified that they are implemented as expected in Storefront UI, Vue Storefront, the backend system and its integration into VSF. Do not assume something is already implemented without verification. Verify that various components are compatible with each other.

Vue Storefront does not use GraphQL between the client- and server-side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vue Storefront has an amazing team. Technically savvy, strong industry knowledge and enabling a great accelerating point for storefronts. I appreciate how they are very clear about what they do and what they do not do. There is no marketing fluff to blur the lines and you know exactly what you are going to get.

The starting points are extremely useful, integration patterns make sense and you are in complete control of your experience. Their documentation is also great and easy find what you like.

Aside from the technology, the team themselves are great at listening to customer feedback and enabling teams to get the best out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing negative to discuss! Just the same as with any popular company growing. Would be great for them to have more resources over time to fulfill all of their future plans! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VueStorefront works out-of-the-box with Commercetools API. The UI supports desktops and mobiles. It can be easily extended. Because of using the vue.js web framework, web developers can pick it up in timely manner. VueStorefront follows Google Retail UX Playbook and Atomic Design patterns for components. Also supports out-of-the-box integrations with Adyen and ContentStack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
