Customization

Everything is configurable from a few key files:

What	Where
Store name, contact, social links	src/lib/config.ts
Theme colors (rating, wishlist, status)	src/app/globals.css
Navigation (desktop + mobile)	src/lib/navigation.ts
Products, categories, brands	src/data/products.json
Translations	messages/en.json, messages/es.json

See CUSTOMIZATION.md for the full guide.

Connecting a Payment Provider

The checkout uses a pluggable CheckoutProvider interface:

interface CheckoutProvider {
  createSession(cart, customer?): Promise<CheckoutSession>
  getSession(sessionId): Promise<CheckoutSession>
  handleWebhook(payload, signature): Promise<WebhookResult>
}

Ships with a demo provider. To connect Stripe or any other payment system, implement the interface and swap the export in src/lib/checkout/index.ts.
