What is Storefront Hosting?

The SCAYLE Storefront Hosting is a fully managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for your e-commerce store, built on reliable cloud infrastructure (AWS) and managed entirely through the SCAYLE Panel. Think of it as a complete package that handles all the technical aspects of running your storefront website — including managed provisioning, multiple environments, and automatic autoscaling for organic traffic peaks. It serves to accelerate deployment and eliminate complexity, all while providing a highly scalable, secure, and performant foundation for your online business.

Use Cases

The platform supports various deployment scenarios:

  • New Stores: Starting your first online e-commerce shop with SCAYLE,
  • Existing Stores: Moving your current storefront to SCAYLE's platform,
  • Multi-Brand Businesses: Running multiple storefronts for different brands.

Key Functional Benefits

Among others, the platform makes it easy to:

  • Set Up: Connect your Storefront Application and get started quickly,
  • Deploy: Update your Storefront Application with just a few clicks to reflect new changes,
  • Recover: Quickly roll back to a previous version if needed,
  • Customize: Add your customized domain names with automatic security (SSL)
  • Streamline: Have full integration into your CI/CD Pipeline,
  • Monitor: Keep track of your storefront's performance and health.
  • Secure: Protect your storefront with built-in vulnerability scanning and runtime script monitoring.

Limitations

Before getting started, please note:

  • When utilizing Storefront Hosting, you cannot customize the underlying hosting infrastructure.
  • It is designed for headless storefront applications created exclusively by using the SCAYLE Storefront Application.

Not all SCAYLE Panel environments come with a pre-defined Storefront Hosting solution.
