Basic Storefront Setup
Now that you’ve configured payments, taxes, and shipping, and added some products, it’s time to configure your storefront. Spree comes with a drag and drop page builder with pre-built page sections that allows you to quickly and easily configure a storefront. This is a great option for MVPs or other projects that don’t require a lot of custom frontend features. If you’re planning on using Spree in headless mode and connect it to a separate storefront application, please refer to Spree developer documentation. The Storefront tab of the admin dashboard, found under Channels & Apps, contains four sections that manage various parts of your storefront.Theme
