# Culture Craft Kitchen

[Culture Craft Kitchen](https://fermentation.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a ceramic kitchenware and specialty pantry shop before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes ceramic coffee makers, water filters, storage jars, ghee, fermented soybean paste, harissa, and home accessories. There are 24 products across four collections. Products have two variants each, with product-specific choices for building selectors.

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 Culture Craft Kitchen when you want to build a ceramic kitchenware shop with storage jars, specialty pantry products, and home accessories.

Use Culture Craft Kitchen for:

- A kitchenware shop with ceramic vessels, storage jars, and specialty pantry products
- Product pages with size, capacity, material, or finish choices specific to each item
- Collection navigation and carts mixing kitchenware with condiments and home accessories

Choose another mock.shop store if you need assigned taxonomy categories or a broad grocery catalog. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example Culture Craft Kitchen query

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

```bash
curl https://fermentation.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"portable-ceramic-coffee-maker\") { 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 Portable Ceramic Coffee Maker, 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://fermentation.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a ceramic kitchenware and specialty pantry storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and mixed-item carts. Portable Ceramic Coffee Maker uses Size (Small, Large). Use those returned values to build its selector. Prices stay the same across each product’s variants. Nine products have compare-at prices for sale displays. Collections such as The Sourdough Starter Kit and Kombucha Brewing Essentials support fermentation-themed browsing, but their names don’t establish complete brewing or starter kits. No taxonomy categories are assigned, so use the collections for navigation. Other products use Capacity, Material, Finish, Color, or Component. The sample doesn’t verify food safety, fermentation results, or compatibility between tools and ingredients.

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

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a ceramic kitchenware and specialty pantry storefront with Culture Craft Kitchen 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 fermentation.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: fermentation.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=fermentation.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use Culture Craft Kitchen’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.
