Getting Started
The Reflow HTML Toolkit is a free JavaScript library for adding ecommerce functionality to any website. It is a much simpler way to integrate Reflow than our regular React libraries – you just need to write a bit of HTML and the toolkit will turn it into a full blown online store.
The toolkit does have a few limitations:
- It is rendered entirely client side, which means that product information is not part of your site's HTML. This might affect SEO, although Google and other engines are capable of crawling client-side generated sites these days.
- Only the ecommerce part of Reflow is available, subscriptions are not. This makes the toolkit capable of building classic online stores but not subscription web apps.
This guide will show you how to integrate the toolkit in practice.
