Employing Out-of-the-Box Storefronts

SAP Commerce Cloud provides two standard out-of-the-box storefronts:

1. SAP Commerce Cloud, Composable Storefront (aka. Spartacus)
2. Accelerator Storefronts (Deprecated since 2205)

As the most important official storefront support going forward, SAP Commerce Cloud, Composable Storefront is a lean, Angular-based JavaScript storefront for SAP Commerce Cloud.​

It is based off the Spartacus open source code, and is included in the SAP Commerce Cloud license at no extra cost. Please note, starting with version 5.0, "SAP Commerce Cloud, Composable Storefront" is the name for the official release of project "Spartacus" libraries published by SAP. Please always look for the related documentation on the SAP Commerce Cloud, Composable Storefront Help Portal.
