Hyvä-Compatible UX Extensions for Magento 2: From Search to Checkout
Hyvä has redefined the Magento 2 frontend by removing legacy bloat and delivering a clean, performance-first experience. But great performance alone doesn’t guarantee conversions - merchants also need a frictionless customer journey, from product discovery to checkout. That’s where Hyvä-compatible UX extensions come in. In this article, we show how modules like qoliber Fast Search and qoliber Store Pickup help merchants deliver a best-in-class shopping experience without compromising Core Web Vitals.
1. Why UX Extensions Must Be Hyvä-Safe
Many Magento 2 extensions inject heavy JavaScript, CSS, or custom templates that slow down page rendering. In a Hyvä environment, this goes directly against the goal of performance-first design. UX modules must therefore be lean, server-rendered where possible, and fully compatible with Hyvä checkout. Only then can merchants improve functionality without sacrificing speed or stability.
2. Product Discovery with Fast Search
On-site search is the single most powerful driver of conversions in eCommerce. Customers who use search convert faster and spend more but only if results are fast and accurate. Magento’s default search often struggles with speed, typo tolerance, and user experience.
The qoliber Fast Search extension solves these issues with:
- Instant autocomplete results as users type
- Advanced typo tolerance for better relevance
- ElasticSuite-aware design for large catalogs
- Hyvä-safe implementation with no JS conflicts
- Customizable result layouts for products, categories, and CMS content
By ensuring product discovery is fast and frustration-free, Fast Search directly impacts both UX and conversion rates.
3. Checkout Flexibility with Store Pickup
Checkout is where many customer journeys fail. High delivery costs, limited shipping options, or slow logistics can cause cart abandonment. Click & Collect (Store Pickup) addresses this by giving customers control over how they receive their orders.
The qoliber Store Pickup extension integrates seamlessly with Hyvä checkout, offering:
- Pickup location selection during checkout
- Configurable pickup times and store rules
- Performance-first integration - no template overrides
- Reduced shipping costs for merchants and customers
- Improved UX without breaking Hyvä’s checkout flow
By adding flexible delivery alternatives, Store Pickup enhances the final stage of the journey and increases satisfaction.
4. Building a Hyvä-First UX Bundle
The combination of Fast Search and Store Pickup represents a Hyvä-first UX bundle that covers two of the most important touchpoints: finding products and completing checkout. Both extensions follow the same design principles:
- Lightweight, performance-optimized code
- No frontend bloat or conflicting JavaScript
- Seamless ElasticSuite compatibility
- Designed specifically for Hyvä projects
Together, they help agencies and developers deliver storefronts that are not only fast but also intuitive and conversion-friendly.
Conclusion
Hyvä has shifted the Magento 2 ecosystem toward performance-first thinking. But to maximize results, merchants need UX extensions that improve product discovery and checkout without introducing risk.
With qoliber Fast Search and qoliber Store Pickup, developers can create Hyvä-compatible journeys that convert better, cost less, and keep Core Web Vitals intact.
