Hyvä is a Magento 2 theme built for speed. No Knockout, no RequireJS, far less JavaScript shipped to the browser, and page load times that Luma cannot match. Since November 2025 it is also free.
Because Hyvä replaces the entire storefront layer, every frontend extension has to be built for it specifically. We have spent 18 years building extensions for Magento merchants, so when the license fee disappeared we made sure ours were ready for the stores that would follow. Here is what runs on Hyvä, what it costs, and what installing it takes.
What Hyvä Going Free Means for Your Store
On November 10, 2025, Hyvä Themes relicensed the Hyvä Theme under OSL 3.0 and AFL 3.0, the same licenses as Magento Open Source. The per-store license fee is gone. (Hyvä's announcement)
Removing the license fee removed the reason to hesitate, not the work. Hyvä replaces your entire storefront layer, so every template, every custom style, and every frontend extension still has to be accounted for.
Best Magento 2 Extensions for Hyvä
Those Hyvä modules for Magento 2 are best sellers on the Plumrocket store, have a lot of positive reviews and stong feature set:
- Social Login Pro, $179. Sign-in through 50+ networks including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and PayPal. It retrieves only verified emails and links repeat sign-ins to the existing account instead of creating duplicates. Works on the cart page, where skipping registration is worth the most. Rated 4.9 across 48 reviews.
- Layered Navigation, $149. Our published testing runs it against 80,000+ product catalogs at 1,200+ items per page, which is where weaker AJAX filters fall over. Unique meta titles per filter combination, plus noindex control so filter pages do not become duplicate content. The free Lite version still includes AJAX, multi-select, and a price slider.
- Advanced Reviews & Reminders, $149. Up to three scheduled reminders per customer, with the review form embedded in the email so nobody has to return to your site to leave feedback. Photo and video uploads, verified purchase labels, and rich snippet stars in search results. Rated 4.9 across 46 reviews.
- Newsletter Popup, $149. 30+ templates and display conditions that control who sees which offer, so returning subscribers do not get pitched the same discount twice. Rated 4.8 across 52 reviews.
- Order Status & Shipping Tracking Pro, $129. Custom statuses matched to your fulfillment, branded emails with one-click tracking, self-service lookup for guests as well as account holders. One high-volume phone accessories store cut order-related support tickets by roughly 40%.
- Checkout Success Page, $149. The one page every buyer sees and almost nobody optimizes. Order details, coupon codes for the next purchase, and one-click registration for guests who just proved they will buy. Rated 5.0 across 54 reviews, the most-reviewed extension on this page.
- Auto Invoice & Shipment, $69. Rule-based invoicing and shipment emails, created automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are Hyvä compatible modules?
They're Magento 2
extensions built or adapted to work with the Hyvä theme's lightweight, Alpine.js/Tailwind-based
storefront. Instead of loading heavy default Magento frontend libraries, Hyvä compatible modules
integrate natively so your store keeps Hyvä's speed advantage while gaining extra functionality.
Are there any Free Magento Hyva extensions?
Two of them have free versions worth trying before you spend anything. Layered Navigation Lite covers standard attribute filtering, and Order Status & Shipping Tracking Lite gives customers self-service order lookup. Move up to the paid versions when you need Ajax filtering and SEO-friendly filter URLs, or custom statuses and branded multi-carrier tracking.
Do I need a developer to install a Hyvä compatible
module?
Most merchants can follow the included step-by-step installation guide themselves.
Some extensions also require a free Hyvä compatibility module from the official Hyvä
repository — the guide links to it directly. If you'd rather not handle it in-house, our team
offers extension installation and Hyvä theme development services.
Do these extensions still work on standard Luma themes?
Yes.
Plumrocket extensions work on both the default Luma theme and Hyvä — the Hyvä
compatibility layer is an addition, not a replacement, so you're not locked into one theme.
How do I know if a specific extension is Hyvä compatible?
Everything listed on this page is Hyvä compatible, and product pages carry a Hyvä badge. OurHyvä compatibility documentation is the definitive list, with the exact Composer package name for every compatibility module.
