Important

🎉 Payload 2.0 is now available! Read more in the announcement post.

Benefits over a regular CMS

  • Don’t hit some third-party SaaS API, hit your own API
  • Use your own database and own your data
  • It's just Express - do what you want outside of Payload
  • No need to learn how Payload works - if you know JS, you know Payload
  • No vendor lock-in
  • Avoid microservices hell - get everything (even auth) in one place
  • Never touch ancient WP code again
  • Build faster, never hit a roadblock
  • Both admin and backend are 100% extensible
