Vercel Shop
Agent-ready commerce, powered by Shopify, Next, and Eve.
- Shopify owns commerce. Catalog, cart, checkout, customer accounts, predictive search, and policies come from Shopify through the framework-agnostic Hydrogen SDK (not the Hydrogen React Router framework).
- Next.js owns the app. Routing, Server Components, caching and invalidation, metadata, and the storefront's machine-readable surface for answer engines: Markdown representations,
/llms.txt, structured data, and the sitemap. - Eve owns the agent. Shop Agent's sessions, tools, and connections; its tools call Shopify directly.
See vercel.shop for full documentation.
Vercel prompts for the two required Shopify credentials before the first deployment.
Getting Started
- Scaffold a new project using the CLI:
npx create-vercel-shop@latest my-store
The scaffold also installs these project-scoped agent plugins:
vercel-shopvercel-pluginshopify-ai-toolkit
To install only the agent plugins into an existing project, run this from that project's root:
npx create-vercel-shop@latest --no-template
- In Shopify admin, create a storefront token in Settings → Apps and sales channels → Headless, enable the required Storefront API permissions, then add your Shopify credentials:
cp .env.example .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.comNEXT_PUBLIC_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token
- Start the development server with the same package manager you used to scaffold the project:
pnpm devnpm run devyarn devbun dev
See vercel.shop/docs/getting-started for the full setup guide and Storefront API Permissions for the complete scope reference.
