Integrate Storyblok CMS with your Vendure Store

HAS
Housein Abo ShaarGrowth Engineer & Developer Advocate, Vendure
A developer's guide to integrating Storyblok CMS with a headless commerce backend using a custom plugin for reliable, component-based content synchronisation.

The integration allows your content team to use Storyblok CMS while Vendure handles core operations: catalogue, pricing, and checkout.

This architectural pattern establishes the commerce platform as the single source of truth for all core product data.

Why Vendure's Architecture is Ideal for a Storyblok Integration

Vendure's architecture is well-suited for this integration because its plugin system allows you to build an event-driven data synchronisation pipeline.

The EventBus can be used to trigger jobs in response to product updates, while the built-in JobQueue manages background tasks like API calls to Storyblok, including automatic retries. All of this logic is encapsulated within a decoupled plugin, keeping your codebase maintainable.

We also provide a working example of this integration for you to explore.

Build Your Production-Ready Storyblok Integration

This comprehensive tutorial builds upon our CMS-agnostic integration guide and walks you through the complete Storyblok service implementation using Vendure's plugin architecture.

What You'll Implement and Learn

This guide demonstrates how to use Vendure's CMS plugin architecture to implement a production-ready Storyblok integration. You will learn how to:

  • Create automatic Storyblok component schemas using ensureStoryContentTypesExists() with relationship fields for products, variants, and collections.
  • Implement batch API optimisation with findStoriesBySlugs() to minimise Storyblok API calls.
  • Configure rate limiting and exponential backoff using enforceRateLimit() to respect Storyblok's API constraints.
  • Transform Vendure entities to Storyblok components with transformProductData(), transformVariantData(), and transformCollectionData() methods.
  • Handle complex entity relationships through automatic UUID resolution between products, variants, and collections using findParentProductStoryUuid().
  • Test integration reliability with built-in error handling, retry mechanisms, and translation validation for production environments.

This implementation showcases how Vendure's plugin architecture eliminates the complexity typically associated with headless CMS integrations.
