## Description

This project is a headless commerce frontend and Next.js ecommerce storefront template. It provides a decoupled user interface that fetches product and order data from external commerce providers via APIs.

The storefront includes a React component library of pre-built UI elements for shopping carts, product grids, and search interfaces. It features integration with visual content management tools, allowing site elements and pages to be modified without manual code changes.

The platform covers product discovery through advanced search, typeahead suggestions, and related product recommendations. It also manages shopping cart sessions, product variant configurations, and uses a provider-based data layer to decouple the frontend from the backend.

The project is designed for the deployment of server-rendered online shops using pre-built frontend templates connected to commerce backends.
