Saleor Development

Overview

Saleor is a headless, GraphQL-first e-commerce platform built on Django and Python. It exposes a fully typed GraphQL API for storefronts and third-party apps, a React-based dashboard for store management, and an extension system that lets you react to events via webhooks or inject UI into the dashboard. This skill covers querying the Saleor API, building Saleor Apps (plugins hosted outside Saleor), and customizing the dashboard with App Extensions.

When to Use This Skill

• When building a custom storefront (Next.js, Remix, mobile) against a Saleor backend
• When creating a Saleor App that reacts to order or product lifecycle webhooks
• When injecting custom UI panels into the Saleor Dashboard via App Extensions
• When exploring or extending the Saleor product catalog, checkout, or customer APIs
• When setting up a local Saleor development environment with Docker

Prerequisites & Platform Notes

This skill is written for custom/headless storefronts (Node.js, Python, or similar backend). The code examples use TypeScript/Node.js and can be adapted to any stack.
