Integrations

Next.js Commerce integrates out-of-the-box with BigCommerce, Shopify, Swell, Saleor, Vendure and Spree. We plan to support all major ecommerce backends.

Considerations

• framework/commerce contains all types, helpers and functions to be used as base to build a new provider.
• Providers live under framework's root folder and they will extend Next.js Commerce types and functionality (framework/commerce).
• We have a Features API to ensure feature parity between the UI and the Provider. The UI should update accordingly and no extra code should be bundled. All extra configuration for features will live under features in commerce.config.json and if needed it can also be accessed programatically.
• Each provider should add its corresponding next.config.js and commerce.config.json adding specific data related to the provider. For example in case of BigCommerce, the images CDN and additional API routes.
• Providers don't depend on anything that's specific to the application they're used in. They only depend on framework/commerce, on their own framework folder and on some dependencies included in package.json

Configuration

How to change providers

Open .env.local and change the value of COMMERCE_PROVIDER to the provider you would like to use, then set the environment variables for that provider (use .env.template as the base).

The setup for Shopify would look like this for example:

COMMERCE_PROVIDER=shopify
NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN=xxxxxxx.myshopify.com

And check that the tsconfig.json resolves to the chosen provider:

  "@framework": ["framework/shopify"],
  "@framework/*": ["framework/shopify/*"]

That's it!

Features

Every provider defines the features that it supports under framework/{provider}/commerce.config.json

Features Available

The following features can be enabled or disabled. This means that the UI will remove all code related to the feature. For example: Turning cart off will disable Cart capabilities.

• cart
• search
• wishlist
• customerAuth
• customCheckout

How to turn Features on and off

NOTE: The selected provider should support the feature that you are toggling. (This means that you can't turn wishlist on if the provider doesn't support this functionality out the box)

• Open commerce.config.json
• You'll see a config file like this:

  {
    "features": {
      "wishlist": false,
      "customCheckout": true
    }
  }
  

• Turn wishlist on by setting wishlist to true.
• Run the app and the wishlist functionality should be back on.

Troubleshoot

I already own a BigCommerce store. What should I do?

First thing you do is: set your environment variables

.env.local

BIGCOMMERCE_STOREFRONT_API_URL=<>
BIGCOMMERCE_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN=<>
BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_API_URL=<>
BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_API_TOKEN=<>
BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_API_CLIENT_ID=<>
BIGCOMMERCE_CHANNEL_ID=<>

If your project was started with a "Deploy with Vercel" button, you can use Vercel's CLI to retrieve these credentials.

1. Install Vercel CLI: npm i -g vercel
2. Link local instance with Vercel and Github accounts (creates .vercel file): vercel link
3. Download your environment variables: vercel env pull .env.local

Next, you're free to customize the starter. More updates coming soon. Stay tuned.

BigCommerce shows a Coming Soon page and requests a Preview Code

After Email confirmation, Checkout should be manually enabled through BigCommerce platform. Look for "Review & test your store" section through BigCommerce's dashboard.

BigCommerce team has been notified and they plan to add more details about this subject.
