Is there an official Hyvä demo store I can look at?
Yes. The official Hyvä demo store is at demo.hyva.io, a live Magento 2 storefront running the default Hyvä Theme with Hyvä Checkout. Anyone can browse categories, search, filter, and add products to the cart on the demo without creating an account.
Quick answer
Hyvä offers two official demos: the Hyvä Theme demo at demo.hyva.io and a separate Hyvä Checkout demo linked from the Hyvä Checkout product page. Partner agencies and extension vendors also run Hyvä demo stores, some with Magento admin access. All of them use sample data, so none can show how your own extensions and catalog will behave on Hyvä.
Which Hyvä demos are available?
| Demo | Where to find it | What it shows | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Hyvä Theme demo | demo.hyva.io | Default Hyvä Theme plus Hyvä Checkout on sample data | Judging baseline speed and shopping experience |
| Official Hyvä Checkout demo | Linked from the Hyvä Checkout page | The Hyvä Checkout flow on its own | Evaluating checkout before choosing it |
| Partner and vendor demos | Hyvä agency and extension vendor sites | Custom builds, sometimes with admin access | Seeing a specific extension running on Hyvä |
Partner demos usually include the vendor’s own modules and design changes. They’re handy for checking one extension, less so for judging Hyvä itself.
What does the official Hyvä demo show?
The official Hyvä demo shows the stock Hyvä Theme on a clean Magento 2 install, with sample catalog data and no custom design work. As of September 2026, the demo runs Hyvä Theme 1.5.2 and Hyvä Checkout 1.3.14.
The Hyvä Theme is free and open source. Hyvä Checkout is a separate, stand-alone product.
What can’t the Hyvä theme demo tell you?
The Hyvä demo can’t show how your own extensions will behave. Any Magento module with frontend output needs a Hyvä-compatible version or a compatibility module, and the demo has none of your modules installed.
A few other gaps matter depending on your store:
- Sample data is small, so a large catalog with heavy layered navigation will perform differently.
- A stock theme gives no indication of what a branded design will cost to build.
- Hyvä Checkout currently requires a Hyvä Theme frontend and does not yet support every B2B or Adobe Commerce feature, which B2B merchants should check early.
Can you see the Magento admin in a Hyvä demo?
A Hyvä store uses the standard Magento admin, because Hyvä replaces only the storefront. Some partner demo stores offer admin logins if you want to click through it.
How do you test the Hyvä demo against your own store?
- Benchmark matching pages: Run PageSpeed Insights on the demo’s home, category, and product pages, then on the same three page types of your store.
- Test on a real phone: Browse both stores on a mid-range Android over mobile data. Desktop scores hide most of the difference shoppers feel.
- List your frontend modules: Check each extension vendor’s Hyvä support before committing to a migration.
- Choose a checkout path: Decide between Hyvä Checkout and a Luma checkout fallback, since this choice changes project scope.
The official Hyvä demo is the fastest way to see how Hyvä feels to a shopper. Whether your store should move to Hyvä comes down to the extension audit. Our Hyvä theme development team can run that check against your module list before you scope a rebuild.
