# Brightly Home & Hearth

[Brightly Home & Hearth](https://general-store.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a mixed kitchen and home goods shop before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes kitchen tools and utensils, drinkware, food storage containers, kitchen towels, stationery, candles, and gift wrapping. There are 30 products across four collections. Each product has one option selector; its label and choices depend on the item.

mock.shop is an auth-free Shopify Storefront GraphQL API backed by sample reference stores. Find out more about [mock.shop sample stores](https://www.shopify.com/blog/mock-shop).

## When to use this store

Choose Brightly Home & Hearth when you want to build a neighborhood-style home goods shop with kitchen essentials, stationery, and gifts.

Use Brightly Home & Hearth for:

- Kitchen and home shop with mixing tools, drinkware, food storage containers, kitchen towels, and stationery across four themed collections
- Mixing Tools Set product pages with `Finish` choices
- Combining kitchen tools, stationery, and a candle in a mixed home-and-gift cart

Choose another mock.shop store if you need a kitchen-only range or products that combine multiple option selectors. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example Brightly Home & Hearth query

Here’s an example GraphQL `POST` request that retrieves options and variant prices for one product from <https://general-store.mock.shop/api>:

```bash
curl https://general-store.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"mixing-tools-set\") { id title options { name values } variants(first: 50) { pageInfo { hasNextPage } nodes { id title selectedOptions { name value } price { amount currencyCode } compareAtPrice { amount currencyCode } availableForSale } } } }"}'
```

This query retrieves Mixing Tools Set, including option values, variant IDs, selected options, availability, and current and compare-at prices. Use the selected variant’s ID and price when adding it to a cart.

The endpoint doesn't require authentication or an access token. Read <https://general-store.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a neighborhood-style home goods shop where someone can browse kitchen essentials, pick up stationery, and add a candle to the same cart. Brightly Home & Hearth supports that mix through four collections, including Culinary Essentials and Pantry Organization. Product pages stay simple with one option per item. The Mixing Tools Set offers Matte or Satin at the same price, while its compare-at price supports a sale display. Use each product’s saved selector rather than giving every kitchen and paper item a universal size menu.

Preview the catalog in a storefront by opening <https://general-store.hydrogen.mock.shop> in a browser.

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a kitchen and home goods storefront with Brightly Home & Hearth using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or another AI assistant, copy the prompt below. It gives the assistant the store domain and directs it to the catalog instructions before it starts writing code.

```text
Build me a Hydrogen storefront using general-store.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: general-store.mock.shop/llms.txt
```

Shopify also provides a [mock.shop starter project](https://github.com/Shopify/mock-shop-starter): a Hydrogen storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and a working cart already connected to mock.shop. You or your AI coding tool can customize this code instead of building those pieces from scratch.

Follow the repository’s setup instructions, then set `PUBLIC_STORE_DOMAIN=general-store.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use Brightly Home & Hearth’s catalog. Leave `PUBLIC_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN` empty; mock.shop doesn’t require a token.

## Move to a real Shopify store

mock.shop uses fictional, read-only catalog data. Cart operations work, and checkout is mocked: no payment is taken and no real order is placed. The Customer Account API isn’t supported.

When you’re ready to launch, point your storefront at a Shopify store and add that store’s public Storefront API token. If you don’t have a Shopify store yet, [start a Shopify free trial](https://www.shopify.com/free-trial) to create one.

Read the [mock.shop developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/mock-shop) for setup and migration details.
