Integrations

Next.js Commerce integrates out-of-the-box with BigCommerce and Shopify. 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.
• Features API is 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
• We recommend that each provider ships with an env.template file and a [readme.md](http://readme.md) file.

Provider Structure

Next.js Commerce provides a set of utilities and functions to create new providers. This is how a provider structure looks like.

• product
  • usePrice
  • useSearch
  • getProduct
  • getAllProducts
• wishlist
  • useWishlist
  • useAddItem
  • useRemoveItem
• auth
  • useLogin
  • useLogout
  • useSignup
• customer
  • useCustomer
  • getCustomerId
  • getCustomerWistlist
• cart
  • useCart
  • useAddItem
  • useRemoveItem
  • useUpdateItem
• env.template
• provider.ts
• commerce.config.json
• next.config.js
• README.md

Configuration

How to change providers

First, update the provider selected in commerce.config.json:

{
  "provider": "bigcommerce",
  "features": {
    "wishlist": true
  }
}

Then, change the paths defined in tsconfig.json and update the @framework paths to point to the right folder provider:

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

Make sure to add the environment variables required by the new provider.

Features

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

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:

  {
    "provider": "bigcommerce",
    "features": {
      "wishlist": false
    }
  }
  

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

How to create a new provider

We'd recommend to duplicate a provider folder and push your providers SDK.

If you succeeded building a provider, submit a PR so we can all enjoy it.

Work in progress

We're using Github Projects to keep track of issues in progress and todo's. Here is our Board

People actively working on this project: @okbel & @lfades.

Contribute

Our commitment to Open Source can be found here.

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device.
2. Create a new branch git checkout -b MY_BRANCH_NAME
3. Install yarn: npm install -g yarn
4. Install the dependencies: yarn
5. Duplicate .env.template and rename it to .env.local.
6. Add proper store values to .env.local.
7. Run yarn dev to build and watch for code changes
8. The development branch is canary (this is the branch pull requests should be made against). On a release, canary branch is rebased into master.

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 detailed about this subject.
