-# Next.js Local Provider
+# Commerce Layer Provider
+
+⚠️ This provider is still a work in progress.
+
+Before getting started, you should do the following:
+
+- Create a Commerce Layer [developer account](https://commercelayer.io).
+- Create a new [organization](https://commercelayer.io/docs/data-model/users-and-organizations/) for your business.
+- Create an application with `sales_channel` kind.
+
+Next, copy the `.env.template` file in this directory to `.env.local` in the main directory (which will be ignored by Git):
+
+```bash
+cp framework/commercelayer/.env.template .env.local
+```
+
+Next, add the application credentials from your organization application dashboard in `.env.local`.
+
