What is Styla Frontend

Styla Frontend is the Storefront of your shop that your visitors use to browse and purchase your goods. It’s what visitors see and interact within the browser on their computers or phones.

It is connected to BigCommerce's back-office where it fetches all product & category data it needs.  With this information, Styla Frontend generates automatically the product detail pages and the category pages of your Storefront.

All content related to products and categories can be managed using BigCommerce Control Panel.

At the same time, Styla Frontend has its own admin & editing area where all non-shop-system content can be managed and styled, it is called Styla Editor.
