# EchoPulse Gear

[EchoPulse Gear](https://apparel-band-merch.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a music merchandise shop with apparel, posters, patches, pins, and collectibles before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes t-shirts, hoodies, posters, patches, enamel pins, hats, a scarf, a mug, and memorabilia. There are 30 products across four collections. Every product has 12 variants, with option pairs drawn from Color, Size, Finish, and Material.

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 EchoPulse Gear when you want to build a band merch or fan shop with T-shirts, hoodies, posters, patches, pins, and collectibles. Product pages can adapt their choices to clothing and non-apparel merchandise.

Use EchoPulse Gear for:

- A music merchandise or fan shop selling apparel, posters, patches, pins, and collectibles
- Mixed option types across a single catalog, including Color and Size for apparel and Material plus Finish for accessories
- Collection browsing across themed groupings like Tour Circuit Apparel and Front Row Memorabilia

Choose another mock.shop store if you need a single consistent option type across all products, a focused apparel-only catalog, or a catalog without collectible or print items. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example EchoPulse Gear query

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

```bash
curl https://apparel-band-merch.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"holographic-sticker-pack\") { id title options { name values } variants(first: 20) { pageInfo { hasNextPage } nodes { id title selectedOptions { name value } price { amount currencyCode } compareAtPrice { amount currencyCode } availableForSale } } } }"}'
```

This query retrieves Holographic Sticker Pack, 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://apparel-band-merch.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a fan shop that combines apparel, posters, and small accessories in collection pages and mixed-item carts. The Holographic Sticker Pack has Color and Finish options, while clothing and other merchandise use combinations of Color, Size, Material, and Finish. Generate selectors from each product’s returned options instead of assuming one format for every item. Each product has 12 variants with some price variation, and six products have compare-at prices. Four collections, including Tour Circuit Apparel and Front Row Memorabilia, provide browsing groups. Memorabilia names don’t establish real authenticity, exclusivity, or licensing.

Preview the catalog in a storefront by opening <https://apparel-band-merch.hydrogen.mock.shop> in a browser.

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a music merchandise storefront with EchoPulse Gear 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 apparel-band-merch.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: apparel-band-merch.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=apparel-band-merch.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use EchoPulse Gear’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.
