Introduction ​

Lynx is a complete frontend solution for Magento, not just a theme. It turns your Magento 2 store into a single-page application (SPA) and brings together everything the storefront needs:

• A fast, app-like storefront in Vue
• A drag-and-drop page builder for every page of the store
• An AI assistant connection over MCP: describe a page and Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant builds it in the page builder
• Server-side rendering for search engines
• Server-side optimizations that make Magento build pages faster
• Ready-made integrations for analytics, reCAPTCHA and payments, starting with PayPal, Braintree and Stripe, with more providers on the way

It replaces the look and feel of your store while your catalog, orders, customers and extensions stay exactly where they are in Magento.

What you get ​

Magento as a single-page app ​

In a classic Magento theme, every click reloads the whole page. Lynx turns the storefront into a single-page application: when a shopper clicks a link, only the part of the page that changes is loaded. The header, the cart and the menu stay in place, so moving from a category to a product and on to the cart feels instant, like a mobile app.

Your store's title, meta description and other search engine tags stay exactly as Magento prints them.

Not a headless storefront. There is no separate frontend to build, host and keep in sync, and no API layer to maintain. Lynx runs inside Magento with its own URLs and caching, and you keep working in the Magento admin you know. Every page is still a real web page with its own address, so links, the back button and search engines work as usual.

A page builder in your Magento admin ​

In a standard Magento theme, changing a page means editing layout XML, blocks and templates across many modules. With Lynx, you arrange components instead. Every page of the store is made of components such as banners, product carousels, text and columns. You add, move and configure these components in a visual editor, and a live preview shows the result on desktop, tablet and phone before you save. See The Editor.

Build pages with AI ​

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any other assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to your store, and describe the page you want: "a home page for an outdoor gear shop, with a hero, three category tiles and new arrivals". The assistant builds it in the page builder with Lynx's own components, your design settings and your real products and categories. It can also change existing pages, adjust your brand colors and share a preview link. Everything it builds opens in the editor, where you can keep refining it by hand. See Build with AI.

One set of design settings ​

Brand colors, corner shapes, border thickness, text size and page widths live in one place. Change the main color once and every button, link and highlight in the store follows. See Design Settings.

Every page a shopper visits ​

Lynx covers the whole shopping journey:

• Home page, categories, search results and advanced search
• Product pages for every Magento product type: simple, configurable, bundle, grouped, virtual and downloadable
• Shopping cart, mini cart and a one-page checkout
• Sign in, registration, password reset and the customer account area
• Order history with invoices, shipments, refunds and printing, also for guests through Orders and Returns
• Product comparison, side by side
• Contact form, newsletter, wish list and the "page not found" page

A modern frontend stack ​

Lynx replaces Magento's older storefront stack (KnockoutJS, RequireJS, jQuery and LESS) with Vue. Shoppers download far less code, so pages load faster, and your store is built with tools that most web developers already know, which makes help easier to find. Colors, corners and text sizes all come from your design settings, so one change updates the whole store.

Every language, including right-to-left ​

Lynx uses Magento's own translations, so a store view in another language is translated with the language packs you already use. Right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian are fully supported, and the whole storefront mirrors automatically with the same design. See Right-to-left Languages.

What stays the same ​

Lynx changes how your store looks, not how it works:

• Products, prices, stock, promotions and orders are managed in Magento as before.
• Customers keep their accounts, addresses and order history.
• Store views, currencies and languages work as usual.

Pages Lynx does not cover ​

Some extensions bring their own storefront pages. For pages that Lynx does not design, you can send shoppers to a standard Magento theme instead, page by page. See Settings.
