Elastic Path Commerce Cloud Starter for Gridsome

Gridsome starter demonstrating how easy it is to spin up a blazing fast e-commerce site with Elastic Path's Commerce Cloud Multi-tentant APIs (formerly known as Moltin). View Demo

This starter uses the Gridsome Elastic Path Source plugin (@bounteous/gridsome-source-moltin) to pull data from your catalogue, and load it into Gridsome's data store - which you can then query to generate pages.

It also demonstrates integration of the following components:

  • Shopkit
    • Moltin's Embeddable Cart & Checkout
    • Currently using a fork of the project.
  • Storefront UI
    • Vue.js component library specifically for eCommerce.
  • Algolia Gridsome Plugin
    • Index your products at deploy time, so that it reflects your URL structure and is never out of sync with what your visitors can see.
    • This is optional, will only run if:
      • the appropriate Algolia credentials are in the .env file; and
      • during production builds (so usually only during deploys, not while running npm run develop)

Account Setup

  1. Sign up for a Elastic Path Commerce Cloud account.
  2. Import sample products into your catalogue by either:
  3. Take note of your Elastic Path Client ID
  4. Optional:
    • Sign up for an Algolia account and take note of your App ID and Admin Key.
    • Sign up for a Stripe account and take note of your Publishable Key (can be a test key).
