Antony RobinsonThe checkout experience can make or break an online sale. Even the most beautifully designed e-commerce stores lose nearly 70% of customers at checkout due to friction, delays, or poor user experience. Recognizing this, Novalnet has partnered with the Hyvä Checkout framework to redefine what Magento 2 checkout performance can be.
We’re proud to announce the official release of Novalnet’s Magento 2 Hyvä Checkout Integration, now published in the Hyvä Docs
.
This integration brings together Hyvä’s lightning-fast architecture and Novalnet’s enterprise-grade global payment orchestration — creating a checkout experience that is both beautifully simple and technically powerful.
Why This Integration Matters
Traditional Magento checkouts are functional but heavy. They often rely on complex JavaScript frameworks, multiple layers of styling, and slow rendering times — all of which contribute to cart abandonment.
Hyvä Checkout changes that completely.
By using Alpine.js instead of Knockout.js and Tailwind CSS instead of Less, it drastically reduces code weight and load time. The result? A checkout that loads in seconds, feels responsive on every device, and keeps customers moving effortlessly toward completing their purchase.
When combined with Novalnet’s unified payment platform, this means merchants can deliver seamless, friction-free payments globally — without compromising security or compliance.
Built for Performance. Engineered for Conversion.
The Novalnet Hyvä Checkout Integration enables merchants to achieve measurable conversion improvements by eliminating unnecessary steps, optimizing mobile usability, and integrating region-specific payment options within one unified flow.
Key benefits include:
