What is Loki Checkout?

Loki Checkout is a modern replacement for Magento's default checkout. It provides a very fast, more flexible, and more maintainable checkout experience while remaining compatible with Magento's service contracts and APIs. It focuses on accessibility, performance, security and extensibility.

Is the Loki Checkout fully open source?

Obviously, this is about what you define as the "Loki Checkout". But yes, the core module is 100% open source, maintained and developed via a public GitHub repository, where people are free to open issues and Pull Requests. Additionally, the GitHub organization LokiCheckout also contains numerous add-ons modules that are again 100% free and open source.

Does this mean that everything in the Loki Checkout is free? No, we do have commercial plans and in those plans, specific integrations and add-ons are only available for a fee. See the module listing on our site to learn which module is included with which plan.

Why would I get a paid plan, if I can just vibe-code any additional integration or add-on?

Yes, you can vibe-code an integration. Similarly, you can vibe-code your own checkout and/or vibe-code your own e-commerce platform. But why are you looking to vibe-code one integration and not the entire checkout? Apparently, the ability to simply vibe-code is not the prime reason to pay for third-party software.

Building an integration is more than just "getting it to work". What if the client changes a specific setting? What if the hosting environment switches? What if upgrades are needed? This requires continuous effort and continuous testing. You can do that yourself. But we see that agencies are often spending than hours and hours on this. Paying for third party integrations, like we offer under a paid plan, means spreading the bill.

Which Magento versions are supported?

Loki Checkout is designed for Magento Open Source, Mage-OS and Adobe Commerce. Supported versions depend on the specific Loki Checkout release. In practice, new Magento versions are supported within days of their release. Always verify compatibility before installing.

Note that the Adobe Commerce EDGE technology is not compatible with the Loki Checkout. The Loki Checkout is based upon the monolothic stack. Headless architectures are built separate from Magento.

Is Loki Checkout compatible with Hyvä?

Yes. Loki Checkout is built for the Hyvä ecosystem and integrates with Hyvä Themes without issues. The base technology of the Loki Checkout is based upon Alpine.js and TailwindCSS and thus, makes it easy for Hyvä-oriented developers to get started. Note that Hyvä Checkout and Loki Checkout are competing products and do not offer compatibility with each other.

Does Loki Checkout require Hyvä Theme?

No. Loki Checkout is intended for stores using Hyvä Theme, yet it can also be used for Luma-based and Breeze-based shops.

Does Loki Checkout depend upon Hyvä Checkout?

No. Loki Checkout is intended for stores using Hyvä Theme and is similar to the Hyvä Checkout, but better. One of the reasons we created Loki Checkout in the first place was to address many shortcomings of the Hyvä Checkout.

When using Loki Checkout with Hyvä Theme, do I need the Hyvä Theme Fallback module?

No. Loki Checkout is working natively under Hyvä Theme, using the same stack - Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS - extended with Loki Component technology (Alpine.js components on steroids). You do not need the Hyvä Theme Fallback module. Any checkout that requires the Hyvä Theme Fallback module to make it work under Hyvä Theme, is actually not compatible with Hyvä Theme itself.

Does Loki Checkout depend upon GraphQl?

No. Loki Checkout uses its own AJAX technology (bundled within the open source Loki Components) to sync client-side with server-side. There is no dependency with GraphQL. Note that there are some extensions that require GraphQl - for instance, the ShipperHQ integration requires GraphQl to communicate with the ShipperHQ GraphQL API.

Can I customize the checkout?

Yes. Loki Checkout is highly customizable. Developers can:

• Add or remove checkout steps
• Customize layouts
• Add custom fields
• Extend validation
• Integrate custom payment or shipping methods
• Modify the customer experience without overriding core functionality

Who created the Loki Checkout?

The Loki Checkout was initially created by Jisse Reitsma (founder of Yireo, organizer of numerous developer events, former board member of ExtDN, Mage-OS Nederland and current vice-chair of the Magento Association). However, Ruud van Zuidam (founder of Siteation, extension developer) is part of the same team, as are some other developers whose name are not disclosed. Also, the team consists of Ruben Creemers (design) and Suzan van de Peut (logistics).

Does Loki Checkout support Magento 2.4.X?

We maintain the Loki Checkout in the form of composer packages, that apply semantic versioning. With this, dependencies with Magento core modules are tracked properly. When a new Magento core version comes out, like 2.4.9, our modules are never directly correlating to that version, but instead to the version of the underlying packages (often 10X.Y.C, like 101.0.2). Because matching is done using composer version constraints (like ^101.0), when the underlying package brings out bugfixes or new features, the Loki Checkout is automatically compatible. When the underlying package brings out a new major version, additional checking is required.

Whenever a new Magento core version comes out, we aim to match our packages beforehand. (We actually have automated CI jobs that test for this.) In general, new Magento versions are supported by the Loki Checkout in a matter of days.

Does Loki Checkout support guest checkout?

Yes. Customers can complete their purchase without creating an account, provided guest checkout is enabled in Magento.

Does Loki Checkout support customer accounts?

Yes. Logged-in customers benefit from saved addresses, stored customer information, and a streamlined checkout process.

Which payment methods are supported?

Loki Checkout works with Magento payment integrations that use Magento's standard checkout APIs. Compatibility depends on the payment provider's implementation.

Common examples include:

• PayPal
• Stripe
• Adyen
• Mollie
• Braintree

Numerous more payment integrations are provided. Always verify compatibility with the payment extension vendor or the Loki Checkout module listing.

Which shipping methods are supported?

Loki Checkout supports Magento shipping methods that integrate using Magento's standard shipping APIs, including:

• Flat Rate
• Free Shipping
• Table Rates
• UPS
• FedEx
• DHL
• Custom carrier extensions

Numerous more shipping integrations are provided. Always verify compatibility with the shipping extension vendor or the Loki Checkout module listing.

Is Loki Checkout fast?

Yes. Loki Checkout is designed with performance in mind and benefits from the lightweight architecture of Alpine.js, resulting in faster page loads and improved user experience compared to the default Magento checkout. Initial page loads are fast. On top of it, AJAX updates are optimized to deliver responses with just a single HTTP request. Advanced performance options include lazy loading, lazy updates, skipping the queue and throttling.

Does it improve Core Web Vitals?

Yes, it does. However, it should be noted that the Core Web Vitals are often reported over time, so when crossing over from a previous checkout, it might take some time for the statistics to properly reflect the improvements. In general, the Core Web Vitals go up, when the performance goes up. With the Loki Checkout, the page load is fast, few additional resources are needed. Because of this, LCP, FID, CLS and INP - they all are positively effected by upgrading to the Loki Checkout.

Does Loki Checkout support one-step checkout?

Yes. Loki Checkout provides a streamlined one-page checkout experience.

Can I add custom checkout fields?

Yes. Developers can add custom fields using Magento extension mechanisms without modifying core files.

Is multi-store supported?

Yes. Loki Checkout works with Magento's multi-store capabilities.

Does Loki Checkout support multiple languages?

Yes. It uses Magento's translation system, allowing stores to provide localized checkout experiences.

Is Loki Checkout mobile-friendly?

Yes. The checkout is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices.

Can developers extend Loki Checkout?

Yes. Loki Checkout is designed to be extensible through Magento best practices, including:

• Dependency Injection (DI)
• Plugins
• Observers
• Layout XML
• View Models
• Alpine.js components, component types and component partials

Is JavaScript required?

Yes. Like any modern checkout, JavaScript is required for interactive functionality. Loki Checkout minimizes unnecessary complexity while providing a responsive user experience.

Does Loki Checkout improve conversion rates?

A faster and simpler checkout can reduce friction and cart abandonment, which improves conversion rates. Additionally, the Loki Checkout reduces the requirement for loaders, it actively tests for the most modern WCAG standards and comes up with innovative approaches to reduce friction in the checkout. Note that actual results depend on factors such as store design, payment methods, shipping options, and overall customer experience.

I want to get one of the premium modules, but want to opt for the standard plan

Unfortunately, we really only offer the premium modules under either the professional or the enterprise plan.

Why are some modules offered excluding support?

Developing an integration (a shipping solution, a payment solution or some other remote API) costs a lot of time. With our first-party approach, we are happy to have done the large portion of the initial work already. However, there can be specific caveats in certain situations, or specific bugs that come to rise. Usually, these additional hours are billed by the hour by the agency, or they are invested by the PSP (because they earn their money anyway with commissions). The fixed price of the LokiCheckout is only possibly, if we excluded these unexpected costs, just like PSPs, agencies and other partners do.

Can we phone you for support?

Only the enterprise plan includes support via phone or WhatsApp. However, we do offer the option for a custom SLA: We can discuss the reaction time you would like to rely upon, the means of contacting us, and we can craft a custom monthly SLA out of it together. We'll take away the worries.
