A progressive web application (PWA), or progressive web app, is a type of application software delivered through the web, built using common web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WebAssembly. It is intended to work on any platform with a standards-compliant browser, including desktop and mobile devices.

The Composable Storefront solution for B2C Commerce is based on two key technologies: the Progressive Web App Kit (PWA Kit) for creating your storefront and Managed Runtime for hosting it.
Like all composable, API-driven technologies, PWA Kit and Managed Runtime can be combined with other ecommerce technologies from Salesforce or other vendors. With Composable Storefront, you can architect a technology stack that meets your exact needs and can scale with your business.

PWA Kit

The PWA Kit is a framework for creating storefronts in JavaScript (or TypeScript) using the React platform, which has become a fixture of modern web development.

With the PWA Kit framework you get:

  • Project templates, including the Retail React App. The Retail React App is a customizable storefront that implements core ecommerce flows from home page to checkout.
  • A rendering system that works on both the server side and client side—and handles hydration (the process of transferring rendering from server to client).
  • A routing system that allows you to inject data from the Commerce API into your components.
  • Utility functions and scripts for automating routine development tasks.
  • Integration with the B2C Commerce API and Open Commerce API (OCAPI).
