Vue Storefront External Checkout

With this extension you can use your CMS checkout (e.g. Magento) instead of default Vue Storefront checkout. This plugin requires cart and user sync on your backend (see integrations )

Current CMS integrations for this extension

• Magento 2

How it works?

When user tries to enter your Vue Storefront checkout:

1. The extension synchronizes cart and user data with your backend CMS
2. User is redirected to your CMS checkout (extension overrides /checkout route).
