Commerce Engine Docs

Everything you need to build powerful, custom commerce experiences.

Introduction

Let's get you up and running with the Commerce Engine Storefront API. This guide covers the basics: obtaining credentials, understanding environments, and making your first API call.

Quickstart

Authentication verifies the identity of the user interacting with your storefront. Commerce Engine uses a robust token-based system (JWT) and offers flexible login methods, including passwordless options via Email, Phone, and WhatsApp.

Authentication

The Catalog module is the cornerstone of your Commerce Engine storefront. It defines everything you sell – products, their variations, how they're organized, priced, and described. Mastering these APIs allows you to build compelling product listings, detailed descriptions, category navigation, powerful search, customer reviews, and insightful recommendations.

Catalog

The Carts module provides the APIs to manage a user's shopping cart. It allows you to add, update, and remove items, apply discounts and loyalty points, manage addresses, and retrieve the cart's state before checkout. Commerce Engine carts are persistent and associated with the user (anonymous or logged-in), enabling seamless experiences across sessions or devices.

Cart

This guide walks you through the process of converting a customer's shopping cart into a placed order, including address validation, shipping checks, payment processing, and handling payment retries. It utilizes endpoints primarily from the Carts, Orders, Payments, Shipping, and Common modules.

Checkout

This section details the APIs used to build the "My Account" area of your storefront, allowing logged-in customers to manage their profile, view past orders, handle returns or cancellations, update addresses, track loyalty points, and manage their reviews.

My Account

The Subscriptions module allows you to offer products and services on a recurring basis, enabling business models like "Subscribe & Save," SaaS, content access, and custom refill schedules. Commerce Engine provides APIs to define subscription plans on products, let users initiate subscriptions, and manage the lifecycle of those subscriptions.

Subscriptions
