# Velvet Pulse Boutique

[Velvet Pulse Boutique](https://apparel-dropship.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a small statement-fashion boutique with dresses, outerwear, tops, and accessories before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes mini dresses, a crop top, trench coats, a crossbody bag, and necklaces. There are eight products across two collections. The eight products each have 12 variants, combining Size with Color or Finish, and three products have compare-at prices.

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 Velvet Pulse Boutique when you want to build a compact fashion shop with bold color choices and size-dependent product selections without managing a large catalog.

Use Velvet Pulse Boutique for:

- A small statement-fashion or going-out clothing boutique
- Color-and-size or finish-and-size selectors with changing prices
- Product and cart flows across two collections

Choose another mock.shop store if you need a larger clothing range or single-variant items. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example Velvet Pulse Boutique query

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

```bash
curl https://apparel-dropship.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"glossy-faux-leather-mini-dress\") { 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 Glossy Faux Leather Mini Dress, 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-dropship.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a small fashion storefront around eight products and two collections. The Glossy Faux Leather Mini Dress has Color choices including Electric Lime, Hot Pink, and Cyber Blue, paired with Size values XS through L. Other products use Finish instead of Color, so derive controls from each product’s options. Prices vary across variants, making the catalog useful for keeping the displayed price and cart selection aligned. Three products have compare-at prices. The store handle contains “dropship,” but the mock catalog doesn’t provide a real supplier or shipping workflow.

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

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a statement-fashion storefront with Velvet Pulse Boutique 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-dropship.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: apparel-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=apparel-dropship.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use Velvet Pulse Boutique’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.
