Plasmic + Payload CMS

Plasmic Studio Questions
1

Hi there

I have just discovered Plasmic. It seems to offer a lot of appealing features.

I’ve had a quick poke around the forum and docs and have a couple of questions.

I potentially want to use Plasmic to create a front end for Payload CMS. It seems I could do that by registering Payload’s components. Can anybody confirm this is correct?

I want to host the front end on my own server. Is it possible to develop pages on the Free plan and push to GitHub? And if so, do I still need to display Plasmic badges if not hosted by Plasmic?

Thanks!

Hi @adam_t, welcome to the community.

Yeah you should be able to register Payload components. Check out the existing CMS integrations here for reference: plasmic/plasmicpkgs at master · plasmicapp/plasmic · GitHub

If you’d like to share the code, we’d be happy to accept it as an open source contribution too :slight_smile:

If you host on your own server, the Plasmic badge will never be displayed. You can use either loader or codegen.
