Payload CMS Development & Integration
Code-first headless CMS paired with Medusa commerce and Square payments. Full content ownership, zero vendor lock-in, and a developer experience that does not require a GUI to ship.
The CMS Built for Developers Who Ship Commerce
Collections, fields, access control, and hooks are all defined in TypeScript. Your CMS schema lives in the repository alongside your Medusa backend — version-controlled, reviewable, and deployable like any other code.
Payload runs on your infrastructure — GCP, AWS, or any Node.js host. Your content data is in your database. No per-seat pricing, no vendor API rate limits, no data portability negotiations.
We pair Payload with Medusa for commerce logic and Square for payments. Content (Payload) and commerce (Medusa) share a deployment but stay architecturally separate — clean, maintainable, and independently scalable.
What We Build With Payload
Custom Collection Architecture
Product detail page content, editorial sections, event data, and rich landing page blocks — all modeled as Payload collections with the exact fields your content team needs and none it does not.
Medusa Product Sync
Payload and Medusa share product identifiers. Content editors enrich products in Payload (long descriptions, editorial images, video) while commerce logic (price, inventory, variants) lives in Medusa. One page, two systems, zero duplication.
Access Control and Workflow
Draft/published workflow, role-based collection access (editors, admins, franchisees), and field-level permissions — all configured in TypeScript, not clicked through a GUI.
Next.js Rendering Layer
Next.js fetches from both Payload (content) and Medusa (commerce) at build time or request time. Static generation for catalog pages, server-side rendering for personalized content — your choice per route.
Migration from Contentful / WordPress
If you are moving from Contentful, WordPress, or Sanity, we migrate your content model and all existing entries to Payload before launch. No content is lost; no manual re-entry required.
