Build an ecommerce site with SvelteKit and the Shopify Storefront API

The updated Shopify Storefront API enables store owners to use their Shopify store as a backend service to support any frontend application, allowing for the creation of custom e-commerce sites using tools like React, Vue, or SvelteKit. This flexibility facilitates selling products through various channels, such as mobile apps and web applications. The article details a project undertaken by a team at Netlify, who experimented with this API by creating multiple starter templates powered by a Shopify backend, and then building a site using SvelteKit. It walks through setting up a Shopify store, authenticating API requests, fetching products using GraphQL, and creating components to organize and display products on a SvelteKit application. Finally, it covers deploying the app to Netlify using the appropriate adapter and configuration, with plans for further enhancement through additional Shopify features like cart functionalities.
