Multi-tenancy

multi-tenant stack of domains, but whoa, they are under one code base

Build once. Scale on your terms.

Most headless CMS solutions make multi-tenancy a complex and costly feature add-on, requiring duplicate codebases, separate environments, and messy deployments.


With Payload, multi-tenancy is built-in—no expensive add-ons or arbitrary limitations.

Endless environments, no code necessary

Add and manage as many tenants as necessary without writing a single line of new code. Each tenant, whether a subbrand, region, or client, is supported seamlessly.

Granular control, global visibility

Global admins see all, while tenants are restricted to their data—ensuring precise, role-based access with zero compromises.

Dynamic deployment, tailored frontend experience

Serve unique, branded environments across multiple domains—all from one codebase, with Payload's admin panel adapting dynamically for each tenant.
