Where can I find a demo shop?
There are Hyvä Themes, Hyvä Admin and Hyvä Checkout. How are these related?
Hyvä Checkout is intended to be used as a checkout with Hyvä Themes – however, it can also be used independently of Hyvä Themes and there is also the option of using alternative solutions for the checkout in conjunction with Hyvä Themes.
Hyvä Admin is an open source project inspired by Hyvä Themes, started by Vinai Kopp. It is a modern way to create custom tables and forms in the Magento admin area. It does not aim to rebuild the existing admin area, but to simplify the development of custom components and to make the development process more comfortable for developers by not using UI components.

Business Questions
How much does Hyvä Themes cost?
The licence includes the live shop and any number of development and test systems.
For whom is Hyvä Themes the right solution?
The advantages of Hyvä are also worthwhile for larger shops. If they use Adobe Commerce (fka Magento 2 Commerce), they should check which features they plan to use and considering these may want to wait a little longer because Hyvä’s Adobe Commerce (fka Magento 2 Commerce) compatibility is not yet complete.
Can I test Hyvä before I decide to buy a licence?
Can I get a developer training on Hyvä?
In principle, however, it is also possible to get started with Hyvä without training, thanks to the detailed documentation and manageable complexity.
