Backoffice UI integration framework for installed apps
A new backoffice integration framework lets installed external applications add their own UI components directly into the backoffice screens.
This is handled via an orchestration JavaScript file that maps app‑defined components to specific backoffice UI elements, using a central configuration.
Benefits for merchants
Richer backoffice experience
External tools (e.g. pricing engines, PIM, logistics, CRM add‑ons) can surface directly inside the backoffice, so staff don’t need to jump between systems.
Faster workflows
Key actions from integrated apps can sit next to native Storefront actions, reducing clicks and context‑switching for your team.
More flexible extensions
Makes it easier for partners and your own developers to build powerful “installed apps” that feel like part of the platform, not bolt‑ons.
Future‑proof integrations
A standard framework means new app UI elements can be rolled out and maintained more predictably over time.
