When time-to-launch matters and you want a path that scales: Stencil for fast, conventional storefronts; Catalyst (Next.js) when the brand needs full headless freedom.
- Stencil ships with batteries included: Page Builder, Script Manager, native search merchandising, and a deep app ecosystem. A/B testing is added through apps, Script Manager hooks, or third-party experimentation tooling.
- Catalyst gives you React Server Components, the GraphQL Storefront API, and a frontend you fully own.
- B2B Edition: company accounts with buyer roles, quote-to-order, company-specific pricing through price lists, Shopping Lists (requisition lists), and Quick Order for reordering.
- Best for mid-market brands, B2B-and-B2C hybrids, and teams ready for a clean reset.
