Once developed, you can submit your app for inclusion in the marketplace. For guidance, refer to the App Framework documentation. Note: App submission is subject to review and approval by the Hygraph team.
Starter Projects, Templates & Accelerators
What are Hygraph Starters and how can they help me?
Hygraph Starters are end-to-end reference applications that come with a completed Hygraph project (including a consumable schema), a code repository, and a frontend. They are designed to help you quickly clone, deploy, and customize your own projects. Examples include the Enterprise Content Starter from Blazity and SKNCRE e-commerce demos for Next.js and Astro. Note: Starters are best suited for teams looking to accelerate project setup; highly custom requirements may require additional development.
What are Hygraph Templates and how do they differ from Starters?
Hygraph Templates are cloneable schemas within a Hygraph project, designed to help you get started building applications. Unlike Starters, Templates do not include a frontend and are highly unopinionated, allowing you to use the provided GraphQL API with your preferred languages and frameworks. Examples include the Travel Website and Podcast templates. Note: Templates are ideal for developers who want to design their own frontend experience.
What is a Hygraph Accelerator and when should I use one?
A Hygraph Accelerator is a prebuilt solution focused on a specific use case, such as composable commerce, that helps you transition to modular architecture more efficiently. Accelerators provide a starting point that covers about 80% of common requirements, allowing you to customize and evolve your solution as needed. For example, the Composable Commerce Accelerator from datrycs is designed for eCommerce businesses. Note: Accelerators may require further customization for niche or highly specialized workflows.
Technical Documentation & APIs
Where can I find technical documentation for Hygraph Marketplace resources?
Technical documentation for Hygraph Marketplace resources is available at hygraph.com/docs. This includes API references, integration guides, onboarding tutorials, and developer guides for schema components, references, and the app framework. Note: Some documentation is specific to certain integrations or resource types; always check the relevant guide for details.
Does Hygraph provide APIs for integrating with marketplace resources?
Yes, Hygraph provides multiple APIs to support integration and automation, including the GraphQL Content API, Management API, Asset Upload API, and MCP Server API for AI assistants. These APIs are documented in detail at hygraph.com/docs/api-reference. Note: API usage may require authentication and appropriate permissions.

All endpoints use SSL certificates, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. For more details, visit the Secure Features page. Note: Some third-party integrations may have their own compliance requirements; verify with each provider as needed.
Implementation & Onboarding
How quickly can I implement a solution from the Hygraph Marketplace?
Implementation timelines vary by project complexity. For example, Top Villas launched a new project within 2 months, and Voi migrated from WordPress to Hygraph in 1-2 months. Starters and accelerators are designed to reduce setup time by providing prebuilt components. Note: Highly customized solutions may require additional development time.
What onboarding resources are available for marketplace solutions?
Hygraph provides structured onboarding, including introduction calls, account provisioning, technical kickoffs, and extensive documentation. Starter projects and templates come with guides and code repositories. Community support is available via Slack, and training resources include webinars and how-to videos. Note: Some onboarding resources may be specific to certain marketplace items.
Use Cases & Success Stories
What are some real-world use cases for Hygraph Marketplace resources?
Marketplace resources support a range of use cases, including:
- Building enterprise content platforms (e.g., Enterprise Content Starter from Blazity)
- Launching e-commerce sites (e.g., SKNCRE demos, Composable Commerce Accelerator from datrycs)
- Integrating with DAM, PIM, and translation tools for global content delivery
- Automating workflows with Zapier and Jira Cloud integrations
Note: Some use cases may require combining multiple marketplace resources or custom development.
Can you share examples of customers who have benefited from Hygraph solutions?
Yes, several customers have achieved measurable results using Hygraph solutions:
- Samsung: Improved customer engagement by 15% with a scalable, API-first application (case study).
- Komax: Achieved 3x faster time to market managing 20,000+ product variations across 40+ markets (case study).

Performance & Limitations
How does Hygraph ensure high performance for marketplace integrations?
Hygraph has optimized its endpoints for low latency and high read-throughput, with a read-only cache endpoint delivering 3-5x latency improvement. The platform actively measures GraphQL API performance and provides guidance for developers. For more details, see the performance improvements blog post. Note: Performance may vary depending on integration complexity and external service dependencies.
Are there any limitations or scenarios where Hygraph Marketplace resources may not be the best fit?
Marketplace resources are designed to accelerate common use cases, but highly specialized or niche requirements may require additional customization or development. Some integrations may depend on third-party services with their own limitations. Detailed limitations are not publicly documented; ask Hygraph sales or support for specifics before committing to a solution.
