saleor storefront

saleor-storefront repository is DEPRECATED

We've decided to build a new storefront starting from scratch, with no fancy design, focusing solely on best practices for building commerce storefronts. The new project, called react-storefront, uses Next.js as its foundation and Tailwind for the looks. You can find it here: https://github.com/saleor/react-storefront.

Saleor Storefront

Note: This project is a demonstration on how Saleor can be used. It’s not ready to be a starter but rather show how different cases can be handled and could be used as a recipe book. There will be breaking changes and the code is constantly evolving, so use at your own risk.

A GraphQL-powered, PWA, single-page application storefront for Saleor.

Features

• Headless ecommerce storefront built with GraphQL, Apollo Client, React, Next.js and Typescript
• Offline mode (beta)
• Saleor GraphQL API integration
• Single-page application experience
• Braintree Payment Gateway integration

Demo

See the public demo of Saleor Storefront!

Or launch the demo on a free Heroku instance.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 14.16
• A running instance of Saleor.

To run the storefront, you have to set the NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URI environment variable to point to the Saleor GraphQL API. If you are running Saleor locally, with the default settings, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URI is set to: http://localhost:8000/graphql/. To change it, either create a .env.local file and add it there or set an env variable using export command.

• CYPRESS_USER_PASSWORD - for the user mentioned above.

If you are running the Storefront from the perspective of Docker container, then you can run tests using following commands:

Headless mode:

cy:run

Cypress UI mode:

cy:open

Headless mode:

test:e2e:run

Cypress UI mode:

test:e2e:dev
