The answer is a bit complicated and depends on which platform you’re using. 

But yes. With our Commerce Connector Pack, you can natively extend Magnolia into your ecommerce platform of choice.

This means you can use your ecommerce content as if it were native Magnolia content – while keeping the cataloging features and order functionality of your ecommerce solution. 

We have ready-made connectors for tools such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Commercetools, SAP Commerce, and Adobe Commerce. And with our APIs, you can connect Magnolia to any ecommerce platform you want.  

Check out the video here, where Jan shows how Magnolia and Salesforce Commerce Cloud work together.

If you have both an online store AND a brand website, then yes. 

Let’s explain: 

Ecommerce platforms are built to create and manage an online store and the related sales processes. It’s a different animal than a brand website – and the requirements for each differ. 

A brand website, for instance, would often need pages such as ‘about us’, careers, customer service, and product categories. You’d also want to be able to create specific product or campaign landing pages.

Many ecommerce systems provide basic website builders but do not offer the content management capabilities and integrations that brands need to create seamless, competitive digital experiences. So many businesses choose to have both an ecommerce platform and a CMS. 

This presents a new problem: With two separate systems, you risk creating a disjointed customer experience: 

• The shop looks different from the brand's website
• The search function does not work across both
• The shopping cart disappears when users go from shop pages to brand pages.

The Magnolia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) solves both challenges by offering advanced content management capabilities AND tightly integrating with other DX systems, such as your ecommerce system so that you can create a unified shopping experience across the entire customer journey.

Magnolia provides Connector Packs to many popular ecommerce systems, such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Commercetools, SAP Commerce, and Adobe Commerce. 

Our integration framework also makes it easy to integrate with other ecommerce systems, including composable commerce and legacy systems.

Magnolia’s integration options connect Magnolia with your ecommerce platform, so that your content authors can use your ecommerce content within Magnolia – while your product catalog and sales functionality remains with your ecommerce solution.

With a unified platform like this, you can create an experience that is equally great no matter if customers came to browse or shop. The optimized customer experience also increases your conversion rates and average order value.

Yes. Personalisation and A/B testing is available natively or via third-party software. Magnolia’s native features enable most use cases, including those of large retailers such as Sainsbury’s.

If you have more advanced needs, we support a composable approach that lets your marketing team use their favorite software for personalization and A/B testing.

Magnolia is a hybrid-headless CMS. This means that you can use it as a headless CMS or as a traditional CMS. When using Magnolia as a headless CMS, you manage content via APIs. Whereas when using Magnolia as a traditional CMS, Magnolia renders and serves your pages directly.

The hybrid-headless approach gives you ultimate flexibility: You can decide on a project-by-project basis whether you want to build your own frontend (headless) or make this decision for all of your digital channels at the time of your CMS purchase.

Either way, your non-technical users keep their creative control. Content authors get an easy-to-use visual interface including a WYSIWYG editor that lets them use Magnolia like a traditional CMS, even when using it in headless mode. If you don’t tell them, they won’t even know it’s headless.

We built Magnolia so that your marketers can do lots without needing the help of IT. Once your developers set up the platform, component templates, and content apps, your marketers have creative control via a visual in-line editor that’s easy to use. 

They can preview and publish experiences with the click of a button, making it fast and simple to create new content, including product and landing pages.

No, not at all. You don’t have to ditch your existing tech stack in order to build a modern ecommerce experience. 

Continue working with the tools you know and like –  and just integrate them with Magnolia. As a composable CMS, you can change or swap out any tool at any time you want.

Yes. You can build landing pages and campaigns with full WYSIWYG editing, scheduled publication, and multi-device preview. Basically, you can manage the entire customer experience of a targeted campaign in one place, without touching any code.
