# GlideGear Essentials

[GlideGear Essentials](https://phone-accessories-dropship.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a small phone and device accessories shop before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes phone cases, a wireless charging car mount, adjustable phone stands, a screen protector, and a laptop sleeve. There are eight products across two collections. Each product has two selectors, with prices that vary across its variants.

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 GlideGear Essentials when you want to build a small phone and device accessories shop with phone-case, stand, mount, and laptop-sleeve browsing across two collections.

Use GlideGear Essentials for:

- Small phone and device accessories shop with phone cases, a wireless charging car mount, adjustable phone stands, a screen protector, and a laptop sleeve
- `color` and `finish` choices on “Mint Fresh phone case”
- Phone-case, stand, mount, and laptop-sleeve browsing across two collections

Choose another mock.shop store if you need a broader electronics catalog with headphones, chargers, or desk equipment. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example GlideGear Essentials query

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

```bash
curl https://phone-accessories-dropship.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"mint-fresh-phone-case\") { 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 Mint Fresh phone case, 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://phone-accessories-dropship.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a phone accessories shop where customers pick a case color and finish, then browse mounts, stands, and a laptop sleeve. GlideGear Essentials has eight products in Urban Commuter Essentials and Desktop Workflow Stations. The Mint Fresh phone case pairs color with finish, with prices that change by color. Carry the selected variant and price into the cart, and read the other products’ own options for their pages. These sample labels support selection controls, not proof that an accessory fits a particular phone or laptop.

Preview the catalog in a storefront by opening <https://phone-accessories-dropship.hydrogen.mock.shop> in a browser.

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a phone accessory storefront with GlideGear Essentials 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 phone-accessories-dropship.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: phone-accessories-dropship.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=phone-accessories-dropship.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use GlideGear Essentials’ 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.
