Alternative

Scayle alternative for Norce and Shopware teams

Frntkey replaces the storefront, not the commerce engine. Your existing backend stays in place. Scayle replaces both.

Scayle is a Hamburg-based commerce platform with a Vue-based storefront. Adopting it means switching backend as well as frontend. Frntkey only replaces the frontend layer.

  • Frontend-only swap
  • Keep your existing backend
  • Nordic implementation partner
  • Subscription pricing
  • Smaller migration footprint

Benefits

Backend stays

Frntkey replaces the storefront. Norce, Shopware, or your existing commerce engine remains. Scayle would require switching both.

Smaller migration

A frontend swap on a working backend is one platform decision. Scayle bundles a backend migration on top of the frontend change.

Implementation partner

Nordic Web Team delivers Frntkey as a service with setup, integration, and launch in scope. Scayle is sold direct or via partner network you assemble.

Faster time to live

A frontend-only swap on a working backend ships in 3 to 6 months. A full replatform usually runs longer.

Lower vendor risk

You depend on one platform decision (frontend) rather than two simultaneously (frontend and backend).

The structural difference

Scayle and Frntkey both ship Vue-based storefronts on a subscription model. The difference is what comes attached to the subscription. Scayle includes its own commerce engine, so adopting Scayle means migrating both the frontend and the backend in the same project.

Frntkey only replaces the frontend layer. Your existing commerce engine, whether Norce or Shopware, stays in place. The catalogue, pricing rules, integrations, and operational tooling continue to work without change.

When the comparison matters

If you are evaluating a full replatform, both vendors are in play. If the friction sits specifically at the storefront layer and the backend is fine, Frntkey is the smaller move with shorter delivery and lower vendor risk.

How we work

  1. Discovery

    We map your current backend, integration scope, and design ambition. Output is a delivery plan with concrete milestones.

  2. Build

    The Frntkey storefront ships on your backend, with integrations wired and the content model set up in Storyblok.

  3. Launch & handover

    Phased rollout, performance pass, and a handover to your team or a retainer with Nordic Web Team.
