How it works

From integration to launch — three steps

We don’t touch your backend. We connect through API/webhooks, index data into Elasticsearch and switch traffic gradually.

  1. 012–3 days

    Discovery & theming

    Discovery, integration audit, brand theming, infrastructure setup.

  2. 021 week

    Integration & indexing

    Connection to 1C‑Bitrix runs through our module: it integrates catalog, content, orders and user authentication.

  3. 032–7 days

    Zero‑downtime cutover

    Gradual traffic switch, monitoring and backups. Ongoing support for the entire subscription lifetime.

Data flow

Your backend stays unchanged. Frontbox is a separate layer.

Two delivery models

Subscription or White Label — pick what fits your security & budget

One platform, two ways to buy. If you want a fast start with no capex — go subscription: Frontbox runs on our servers. If you need your own infrastructure, closed security perimeter and source ownership — go White Label: the license is billed monthly for 18 months and includes support, core updates and customization.

Subscription · Frontbox SaaS

Frontend on our servers

The fastest way to launch. You only pay the subscription — we handle hosting, monitoring, backups, core updates and 5 hours/month of changes.

Either format can be upgraded or downgraded later. Subscription converts to White Label with credit for months already paid. Downgrade from White Label to SaaS is free of charge.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the difference between Subscription and White Label?

    Subscription (SaaS) — Frontbox runs on our servers, you pay monthly from ~$380 and get everything managed: hosting, core updates, backups, 5 hours of support. White Label — the platform is installed inside your perimeter (your cloud or on‑prem). Promo price: ~$1,000/month × 18 months (vs ~$1,900 standard). Support, regular core updates and customization are all included. White Label is typically chosen by enterprise, fintech and government when they need their own infrastructure, compliance with strict security policies, or full source handoff.

  • Why is White Label billed as a subscription rather than a one‑time license purchase?

    Because it’s better for the customer: instead of a large capex (€30–50k lump sum), you pay ~$1,000/month × 18 months evenly. During that period we handle installation, customization for your processes, team onboarding, regular updates and SLA‑backed support. After the 18 months, the license and the source code stay with you — you can renew support as a retainer or evolve the platform in‑house.

  • Can we move between Subscription and White Label?

    Yes. Upgrading from SaaS to White Label gives credit for months already paid. Downgrading from White Label back to SaaS is free — we migrate your data and perimeter. Neither format creates vendor lock‑in.

  • Do our 1C‑Bitrix and 1C integrations stay in place?

    Yes. Frontbox is purely the frontend layer. Your 1C‑Bitrix, 1C and all integrations remain untouched. We connect via API/webhooks and never touch business logic. This is true for both SaaS Subscription and White Label.

  • How long does the launch take?

    Between 2 and 6 weeks depending on catalog size and number of integrations. We run discovery in week one and give you a clear launch plan immediately.

  • What is included in the 5 hours of monthly support?

    Consultations, small fixes, content tweaks, release help, monitoring and incident response. Hours don’t roll over month to month.

  • What if we need work beyond the limit?

    Extra features and backend work are billed T&M (time & materials). Transparent time tracking and an upfront estimate.

  • Can we add the native app later?

    Yes. You can start with the base subscription and add the React Native app at any time: +~$220/mo on top of your current plan. Store publishing is included.

  • What about SEO during the switch?

    SEO migrates seamlessly: we keep URL structure, meta tags, redirects, sitemap and robots. Core Web Vitals usually improve immediately thanks to SSR/ISR and edge cache.

  • What happens if we want to leave?

    The subscription doesn’t lock your backend. You can switch traffic back to your original site at any time — your 1C‑Bitrix and all data stay yours. No vendor lock‑in.

  • How is the subscription billed?

    SaaS subscription — monthly invoicing with the stepped scale: Month 1–2 → Month 3 → Month 4+ (final price). White Label is also billed monthly — ~$1,000/month × 18 months (promo vs ~$1,900 base license). Prepayment for 3/6/12 months gets an additional discount on request. We can quote in your local currency.
