# ThreadJoy Collective

[ThreadJoy Collective](https://apparel-subscription.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a compact apparel catalog before a real Shopify store is ready. It includes T-shirts, crew socks, sleepwear, and handkerchiefs. The catalog has 8 products across 2 collections. Every product has three variants, all products require shipping, and 3 products have a compare-at price.

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 ThreadJoy Collective when a small apparel storefront needs simple option selection without a large catalog.

Use ThreadJoy Collective for:

- Compact apparel and accessories storefronts
- Color or size selectors with three variants per product
- Collection browsing and compare-at price display

Choose another mock.shop store if you need digital delivery, no-shipping products, made-to-order configuration, subscriptions, appointments, or a large catalog. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example ThreadJoy Collective query

Here’s an example GraphQL `POST` request that retrieves product options and pricing information from <https://apparel-subscription.mock.shop/api>:

```bash
curl https://apparel-subscription.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ products(first: 3) { nodes { title options { name values } variants(first: 3) { nodes { title price { amount currencyCode } compareAtPrice { amount currencyCode } availableForSale } } } } }"}'
```

This query returns product titles, option values, variant titles, availability, current prices, and compare-at prices. Adapt the query for your storefront needs.

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

## What this catalog lets you test

Every ThreadJoy Collective product has three variants, so the catalog supports testing option selectors and variant-aware product pricing in a compact storefront. The two four-product collections also support collection pages, carts for shippable products, and compare-at price display.

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

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build an apparel storefront with ThreadJoy Collective 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-subscription.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: apparel-subscription.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-subscription.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use ThreadJoy Collective’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.
