Hyvä Commerce
Your team runs the store, and fewer jobs need a developer
We’re a Hyvä agency and a Hyvä Silver Partner, working with Magento brands doing £2m or more online. We’ve been building on Hyvä since it launched, and we have client stores running on Hyvä Commerce. If you’d rather meet in person, we’re right next to Piccadilly station in Manchester.
Your Hyvä store might be fast, but your team’s still raising a ticket to reorder a category or edit an email. You’re paying for a merchandising extension, a form builder and a page builder from three different vendors. Each one’s another thing to test at every upgrade.
So we look at what you’re paying for, what your team actually needs and what Hyvä Commerce would replace. Then we set up what earns its keep and train your team to use it.
Most projects start with an NNP Workshop, which gives you a ranked list of what to fix and what each fix is worth.
What is Hyvä Commerce?
It’s Hyvä’s paid suite for Magento Open Source and Mage-OS stores, and it sits on top of the free Hyvä theme. It bundles Hyvä Checkout, Hyvä UI and Hyvä CMS with a set of merchant tools. If you’re on Adobe Commerce, Hyvä Enterprise is the equivalent, with support for Adobe’s own features.
| Product | What it covers | Hyvä’s list price |
|---|---|---|
| Hyvä Theme | The frontend theme | Free and open source |
| Hyvä Checkout | Checkout only | €1,000 one-off with a year of updates, then €250 a year |
| Hyvä Commerce | Theme, Checkout, UI, CMS and merchant tools, for Open Source and Mage-OS | €3,000 a year, or €15,000 for five years upfront |
| Hyvä Enterprise | Everything in Hyvä Commerce, plus Adobe Commerce support | €7,500 the first year, then €5,000 a year |
Prices are per installation and don’t rise with your turnover. Check Hyvä’s own page for today’s figures, as existing licence holders may have trade-in options.
What can your team do with it?
- Category Merchandiser. Drag products into order on a category page from the admin.
- Linked Products. Group separate products as swatches, with each colour or size keeping its own URL, price, stock and reviews.
- Hyvä CMS. Build and edit pages in the admin.
- Email Templates. Edit transactional emails without raising a ticket.
- Store Credit. Offer credit in place of a refund.
- Advanced Admin Permissions. Limit admin roles by area or store view.
When does Hyvä Commerce pay for itself?
Do the sums first. Add up what you pay each year for the extensions it could replace, plus the developer time spent on jobs your team could do themselves. Then compare that with the licence.
We look at this for you before you buy anything. Some of your extensions will do more than the Hyvä version, and we’ll tell you where that’s the case. You don’t have to replace everything on day one.
Who shouldn’t buy it?
If you’re moving off Magento in the next year, spend the money on the move instead.
If your team’s happy managing categories the way they do now, there’s no rush. These tools save time in the admin. They won’t make the storefront any faster, and they won’t fix a slow site.
And if you’re still on Luma, start with the frontend. Moving to Hyvä is what your customers will notice, and the rest can follow.
Why do these tools matter as you grow?
When we rebuilt Reliant’s frontend on Hyvä, conversion went up 78% and turnover 141%. Within months, they were hiring a merchandiser and an SEO manager to keep up.
Growth like that changes who’s running the store. A new merchandiser needs to reorder a category today, without waiting for a developer.

What does a Hyvä Commerce project involve?
We check your Magento version against Hyvä’s requirements and audit your extensions, so you know what stays, what gets replaced and what goes. Then we install it on staging, move across what you’ve decided to replace and test it against your theme, checkout and integrations.
Your team gets training before it goes live. After that, it can sit within your maintenance and support retainer, so Hyvä’s seasonal releases get applied and tested.

"What impressed us most was how quickly Actuate identified the root cause. Within the first call they'd spotted the metadata issue that had been tanking our traffic. Everything that followed has been just as sharp."

Some of them, potentially. Merchandising, store credit and form builder extensions are the obvious ones to check. We compare them feature by feature before you cancel anything.
