StoreFrame features and workflows
StoreFrame helps teams running Magento or Mage-OS stores manage website updates, backups and server health from one workspace. It runs in the company’s own cloud account and includes access to Claude Code through the team’s own Claude subscription.
- Browser-based Claude Code shell wired into your Magento stack (BYO Claude subscription)
- Unified real-time control plane: system metrics every 3s, commerce metrics every 15s
- 10+ containerized services per environment with Magento-tuned caching and scaling
- Zero-downtime atomic deploys, one-click staging mirroring prod, automated encrypted backups
- Runs on your own cloud; built-in WAF + PoW edge security and CrowdSec
- Ask-in-plain-English commerce insights (revenue, AOV, conversion, customers)
Best Fit & Use Cases
StoreFrame fits Magento or Mage-OS merchants that have a developer or agency responsible for their store and want to keep their cloud account under their own control. When a store slows down or orders stop progressing, the team can inspect logs, server metrics and the environment from the same Hub, with Claude Code available to help investigate.
This is most useful when maintenance and troubleshooting are recurring jobs, rather than when the team only needs to edit products in a hosted storefront. It also fits agencies and freelance developers maintaining several client stores. Browser-based terminals and an IDE let developers work inside each environment, while shared sessions, logs and metrics give colleagues a common place to review work.
This supports remote collaboration without requiring every developer to clone client code to a personal laptop. For teams opening a Magento store or preparing a separate testing environment, StoreFrame automates server and application setup and provides staging, development and test environments. These give the team a place to test store changes before applying them to production.
A technical owner is still needed to assess custom extensions, review code changes and decide what can safely go live.
Pros
- Store diagnostics and AI assistance share one workspace. The Hub brings together logs, metrics and browser terminals, while Claude Code starts with context about Magento, the installed services and the current environment. Developers can investigate a problem where the relevant files and runtime data are available, with less need to explain the setup again in a separate chat.
- The merchant retains control of the cloud account and server. StoreFrame runs on the team’s own infrastructure and provides full root SSH access, so developers can inspect services and perform operations directly when needed. This suits teams that want access beyond a hosting dashboard; it does not mean that moving the store elsewhere requires no migration work.
- Routine infrastructure maintenance is built in. StoreFrame automates SSL certificate renewal, encrypted off-site backups and backup retention, and shows container health and failed jobs in the Hub. Teams have fewer separate maintenance routines to assemble themselves, while developers remain responsible for application-specific changes and compatibility.
- Its environment is designed around Magento operations. Database, cache, search and queue services are packaged together, with separate staging, development and test environments available. For a team maintaining a customized store, this provides a practical base for testing changes outside production rather than assembling a generic server setup from scratch.
Cons
- The fit is narrow for merchants on hosted commerce platforms. StoreFrame’s standard environment is built for Magento and Mage-OS; a merchant staying on Shopify cannot use it as a plug-in to manage Shopify’s underlying servers. Choosing it for this purpose would involve a different store architecture and implementation project, rather than a simple app installation.
- The platform fee is only part of the operating cost. Cloud infrastructure and the team’s Claude subscription are paid separately, and additional staging or development environments add subscription charges. A store needing contractual response times must also budget for the paid SLA service. The total therefore depends on the number of environments, server resources and support coverage.
- AI actions require deliberate permission management. New Claude tabs in the Hub skip per-action approval by default, so an instruction can lead to commands being run or files being changed without a separate prompt for each step. The documentation offers an approval-based mode by starting Claude from a Bash tab without the skip-permissions flag. Teams working on production data need to choose that behavior deliberately and review the resulting changes.
- Bundled support does not replace a Magento development team. Standard support covers platform issues during business hours and has no contractual response-time commitment. Custom extension development, custom themes and third-party module debugging unrelated to platform behavior fall outside the documented support scope. Stores with substantial customization therefore still need their own developer or a separate development engagement.
StoreFrame Project slots and billing
Cloud is billed by purchased Project slots, each covering one production environment for a live store. Staging, development and test environments use separate paid slots; Baremetal is sold under a custom contract.
Platform plans and environment slots
Free Trial, Cloud and Baremetal include containerized Magento 2, WAF and CrowdSec protection, automatic SSL, and the real-time HUB with Claude Code access. Claude access requires a separately paid Claude subscription.

| €50 per Project slot per month. |
| Baremetal (Custom) | A dedicated physical-server deployment governed by a custom contract. Included plan entitlements
| Published price: €250/month. Hardware and service charges must be confirmed in the contract. |
| Additional Environment | A Stage slot for a staging, development or test environment. Included plan entitlements
| €10 per Stage slot per month, in addition to Project slots. |
Optional support and professional services
| Product or purchase option | Scope | Public price and status |
|---|---|---|
| Service Level Agreement | Paid support beyond the basic platform support included with paid Projects. Included plan entitlements
| Contact sales for pricing; quotes are based on the coverage window and engagement. |
| Consultation & Training | Separately purchased Magento engineering services, Claude Code training, and architecture or AI-policy advice. Included plan entitlements
| From €120/hour, with a 2-hour minimum.Workshops, multi-week group training and embedded coaching require a separate package quote. |
Cloud infrastructure, Claude Pro or Max, transactional email and the store’s domain are separate purchases. StoreFrame does not add a per-seat platform fee or traffic surcharge. Cloud-provider resource and traffic charges may still apply.
Project and Stage slots share one subscription. New slots added during the month are charged for the remaining days, with a €1 minimum; the first subscription is also prorated to month-end, followed by full-month billing on the 1st.
Credits for mid-month environment deletion are unclear: the billing documentation says there is no credit, while the FAQ describes a credit on the next invoice. StoreFrame needs to confirm whether credits apply and how they are applied. The checkout or contract should also confirm whether tax is included and specify the final Baremetal scope.
StoreFrame alternatives compared
StoreFrame, MDOQ, and Hypernode are compared by product scope, suitable tasks, implementation responsibilities and billing.
These options address Magento store deployment and operations. StoreFrame’s Cloud route uses the company’s own cloud account, while MDOQ and Hypernode sell managed hosting; compare the infrastructure and support included before comparing fees.

| StoreFrameCurrent product | StoreFrame is a Magento operations platform that brings deployments, backups, server monitoring and a Claude Code shell into one workspace on the company’s own infrastructure. | Best fitConsider StoreFrame when keeping the cloud account under company control and using Claude Code alongside live store data are priorities. MDOQ and Hypernode instead provide managed hosting as part of their offer. ImplementationThe team supplies a supported cloud account and its own Claude subscription, operates environments through HUB, and reviews proposed changes before approving destructive actions. | |
| MDOQ | MDOQ combines managed Magento hosting with tools for creating store replicas, building changes and deploying them to production. | Best fitMDOQ fits teams that want hosting, staging/development and deployment tools in one service instead of purchasing StoreFrame alongside their own cloud infrastructure. Its Standard hosting offer includes a staging/development server and managed backups. ImplementationThe team selects the Git branch for a replica, chooses full or sanitised database backups, and uses MDOQ’s build and deployment pipeline. The subscription limits concurrent replicas, so the required capacity needs confirmation. MDOQ workflow and replica limits ↗ | Standard: £195/month for businesses with turnover below £1 million; includes a staging/development server, SSL, 24/7 support and managed backups. Large: £295/month for £1–5 million turnover; adds dedicated hardware. Custom-Built: contact sales. Tax treatment and the turnover measurement period need confirmation. MDOQ hosting plans ↗ |
| Hypernode | Hypernode provides managed Magento hosting with environment maintenance, security, daily backups and a control panel for server settings. | Best fitHypernode fits a move to provider-managed Magento hosting with migration assistance, rather than operating StoreFrame on the company’s own cloud account. The choice concerns hosting ownership and operating responsibilities; it does not establish which store will run faster. ImplementationFor assisted migration, the team grants the necessary access, tests a copy of the shop and agrees the migration time. Hypernode then handles the final data sync and DNS switch; store checks still form part of the process.

Selection advice
Keep Magento in the company’s own cloud account
StoreFrame suits teams that already use Magento or Mage-OS and want to manage store updates, backups and server health in one place. The servers stay in the company’s own cloud account. Before choosing it, agree with the developer or service provider on who handles store maintenance and who responds when the site has a problem.
Choose based on who will maintain the store
A team that mainly wants a provider to take care of hosting should also compare managed Magento hosting services. Ask each provider which server tasks it handles, whether it also maintains the store’s code, and how it handles urgent faults. StoreFrame’s own-cloud setup offers account control, but the operating responsibilities still need to be agreed.
Add cloud and Claude costs to the budget
The Cloud plan is €50 per month, with an additional environment for testing or development costing €10 per month. Cloud servers and the team’s Claude subscription are separate costs. Compare the full monthly bill and required support with a managed hosting quote; the three-day trial is useful for checking access and setup, not for establishing long-term reliability.
StoreFrame third-party integrations
Use the Claude Code installation provided in your StoreFrame environment to inspect Magento files, read logs and run development commands. Open it through the Hub console and sign in with your own Anthropic account; you pay Anthropic directly for your Claude subscription.
Official connection guideStoreFrame FAQs
StoreFrame FAQs address “Does a StoreFrame subscription include cloud hosting and Claude?” and “Does StoreFrame bill slots per employee or per environment?”.
Does a StoreFrame subscription include cloud hosting and Claude?
StoreFrame describes running Magento or MageOS infrastructure in the customer’s cloud, with the customer’s own Claude subscription. The control-platform fee therefore should not be treated as a bundled price for cloud resources and the AI subscription.
Does StoreFrame bill slots per employee or per environment?
Slots represent environment capacity, not employee seats. Project slots cover production environments, while Stage slots cover staging, development, or test environments. A multi-environment setup can therefore require several slots even when the same team manages all of them.
Does deleting a StoreFrame environment refund the unused portion of the current billing period?
The billing documentation says no mid-period credit is issued when an environment is removed. The paid slot remains available for reuse until the period ends; a slot still unused at renewal is then removed from the next billing period.
Does standard StoreFrame support cover Magento customization and 24/7 incident response?
No. Bundled support covers platform issues during business hours, with no contractual response target. A paid SLA adds agreed coverage and response terms; custom extensions, themes, and unrelated third-party module debugging remain outside the documented support scope.
