MAHX Checkout
🚀 MAHX Checkout is a blazing-fast, lightweight, and Magento-native checkout solution for Magento 2. Built with HTMX, Alpine.js, and TailwindCSS, it offers a modern developer experience while staying true to Magento’s architectural principles.
✨ What is MAHX Checkout?
MAHX (Magento + HTMX) Checkout is a clean, minimal, and extendable checkout system for Magento 2. It's designed for developers who love the Magento way — working with layouts, blocks, and controllers — but want a faster, JavaScript-light experience on the frontend.
💡 Why MAHX Checkout?
- ✅ Magento-Native: Built entirely using Magento layouts, blocks, and controllers — no magic, just Magento.
- ⚡ Super Fast: Powered by HTMX — minimal JavaScript, instant partial updates.
- 🧩 Lightweight & Modular: Uses Alpine.js and TailwindCSS for reactive behavior and clean styling.
- 👨💻 Developer-Friendly: Designed for Magento developers with the concepts they already familiar with.
- 🧘 Zero State Management: You heard it right! No state juggling in the frontend or PHP — everything lives cleanly at the database level, just as Magento intended.
- 📚 Tiny Learning Curve: If you know Magento, you’re already 90% there. Just learn HTMX — it's fun and you’ll pick it up in 2 hours!
🔧 Tech Stack

👥 Who Should Use It?
MAHX Checkout works with any monolithic Magento 2 storefront, including:
- Luma
- Hyvä Themes
- Custom Magento 2 themes
If you're tired of bloated JavaScript-heavy checkouts, this is for you.
🧱 What It’s Not
MAHX Checkout is not a plug-and-play one-size-fits-all solution.
It’s more like a DIY developer kit for building your ideal checkout — using familiar Magento patterns (layouts, blocks, controllers). The default look resembles Luma, but everything is easily customizable.
💳 What About Payment & Shipping Methods?
Not all third-party shipping and payment methods will "just work" out of the box.
👉 You’ll need to make them compatible with MAHX Checkout’s structure. But don’t worry — the project provides clear guidance on how to do this easily. Check the docs for integration help.
