About Composable Storefront

Composable storefront is designed to be upgradable while maintaining full extendability. You'll be able to adopt new versions of composable storefront by updating the composable storefront libraries that we regularly enhance.

Composable storefront is on a journey to be fully compliant with the Progressive Web Application (PWA) checklist. We aim to add support for all major features of a PWA-enabled storefront, to offer the best possible customer experience regardless of device or location.

Composable storefront is open source. It will be continually developed by the SAP Commerce Cloud team, but we are very keen to welcome contributors and to foster an inclusive, active development community for composable storefront.

The composable storefront is part of our exciting new journey towards a customizable-yet-upgradable technology for SAP Commerce Cloud installations.

For more information, see SAP Commerce Cloud in the Public Cloud.

Composable storefront provides core storefront features such as:

• home page

• search

• categories

• product details

• cart page

• adding to cart

• checkout

• order history

Your Angular development environment should include the following:

• Angular CLI Version 14.2.3 is the minimum required. The most recent 14.x version is strongly recommended.

• Node.js Version 14.15 or newer (but less than version 15), or 16.10 or newer.

• Yarn Version 1.15 or newer.

For the back end, SAP Commerce Cloud version 2105 or higher is required.

To get up and running with composable storefront, the recommended approach is to build your storefront application from ready-made libraries. You can also clone and build from source, but upgrading is not as simple.

Composable storefront currently can only be used with a SAP Commerce Cloud instance through Commerce APIs.

For complete setup instructions, see the Building the Composable Storefront From 5.2 Libraries guide.

To maintain our promise of upgradability, the design pattern for composable storefront is for non-core features to be built as feature libraries that add to or change the provided functionality.

When using composable storefront, you build an app that pulls in the composable storefront libraries, which contain the core resources needed to work with SAP Commerce Cloud. You then build new features that contain any custom functionality and pages.

Content for composable storefront pages is fetched from the SAP Commerce Cloud CMS (Content Management System), such as logos, links, banners and static pages. We recommend that new content-driven features follow the same pattern to enable Content Managers to modify page content through the CMS tools.

Composable storefront is officially supported by SAP enterprise support.

You can get support for composable storefront in the following ways:
