The headless frontend platform built by the people who invented it.

Alokai decouples the storefront layer from the commerce backend, giving engineering teams a composable frontend they can ship, iterate and scale independently. Because Divante created Alokai, our engineers maintain deep knowledge of every architecture decision in the platform - from the SDK and middleware layer to Connect integrations with commercetools, Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce and beyond.

We handle everything from new store launches and platform migration projects to performance tuning, custom extension development and long-term support contracts.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before we talk.

What commerce platforms does Alokai connect to?

Alokai ships official integrations for commercetools, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, SAP Commerce, VTEX and SFCC. Divante maintains several of these connectors directly.

How long does a greenfield Alokai project take?

A straightforward B2C storefront takes 12-20 weeks from kick-off to go-live. We provide a fixed-scope estimate after a two-week discovery.

Can we use Alokai with our existing CMS?

Yes. Alokai integrates with Contentful, Storyblok, Sanity, Contentstack and most headless CMS platforms via the Alokai CMS module.

What is the difference between Alokai and a custom Next.js build?

Alokai provides a pre-built, battle-tested middleware, SDK and module system that eliminates 6-12 months of infrastructure work. A custom Next.js build gives more flexibility but requires you to build and maintain every abstraction yourself.

Do you offer post-launch support?

Yes - dedicated support retainers with SLAs, sprint capacity for feature development, and an annual performance audit.
