    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apollo-client-developer-t/jdkknkkbebbapilgoeccciglkfbmbnfm (Chrome)

  2. Make sure WooCommerce has some products already or import some sample products

    The WooCommerce sample products CSV file is available at wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/sample-data/sample_products.csv or Sample products

    Import the products at WP Dashboard > Tools > Import > WooCommerce products(CSV)

  3. Clone or fork the repo and modify .env.example and rename it to .env

Troubleshooting

I am getting a cart undefined error or other GraphQL errors

Check that you are using the 0.6.2 version of the wp-graphql-woocommerce plugin

The products page isn’t loading

Check the attributes of the products. Right now the application requires Size and Color.

Issues

Overall the application is working as intended, but it has not been tested extensively in a production environment.
More testing and debugging is required before deploying it in a production environment.

With that said, keep the following in mind:

  • Currently only simple products and variable products work without any issues. Other product types are not known to work.
  • Only Cash On Delivery (COD) is currently supported. More payment methods may be added later.

TODO

  • Add total to cart/checkout page
  • Show stock quantity on individual products
  • Copy billing address to shipping address
  • Display product variation name in cart / checkout
  • Hide products not in stock
  • Add better SEO
  • Re-add Next/image when it is working better
