Ecommerce SDKs

Five composable SDKs for building stores: catalog, cart and orders, transactional email, shipping rates, and address validation. All auto-detected and injected into generated apps.

Products

window.genmb.products is your catalog SDK: create, list, search, and update product records. Each product has a name, price, inventory, images, and arbitrary metadata. Backed by a per-app PostgreSQL table you can also browse via the Database Browser.

For seed data, point the codegen at a CSV and ask it to bulk-import using the products SDK on first load, or use the CSV Import SDK directly.

Commerce

window.genmb.commerce handles the cart-and-order workflow: add to cart, persist between sessions, compute totals (with tax once Stripe Tax is enabled), and convert a cart into an order at checkout.

Pair with the Billing SDK for actual payment collection. Commerce computes the order; Billing collects payment for it.

Email

window.genmb.email sends transactional email from your app: order confirmations, shipping updates, password resets you write in your handler. Falls back to platform SMTP; supports BYOK (bring your own key) for Resend / Postmark / SendGrid in production.

For shaped emails (logo, brand colors, footer), provide a template once and reuse it across send calls.

Shipping

window.genmb.shipping returns shipping rate quotes for an origin / destination / parcel triple. Fixed-rate fallback is built in; BYOK to EasyPost / Shippo unlocks live carrier rates.

Address

window.genmb.address validates and autocompletes postal addresses. Useful at checkout to prevent typos before paying for a parcel to nowhere. Backed by Google Maps Platform Address Validation when configured.

Putting It Together

A typical store flow:

User browses catalog (products).
User adds items to cart (commerce).
User enters address (address validates + autocompletes).
Shipping rate appears in cart (shipping).
User pays (billing).
Order is created (commerce) and confirmation is sent (email).

Ask GenMB to "build a store with checkout" and the AI will wire all of the above together; you can fine-tune in chat from there.

FAQs

Are these separate from the Stripe integration plugin?▾

Yes. The Stripe plugin handles payment processing. The Ecommerce SDKs (products, commerce, email, shipping, address) cover the commerce surface around payment: catalog, cart, order workflows, transactional email, and shipping rates.

Do I have to use all five SDKs together?▾

No. They are independent. Use only what your app needs. A digital download store probably only needs products + commerce. A subscription box needs shipping + address + commerce. Mix and match.

How is payment wired?▾

For accepting payments from end-users, use the Billing SDK (window.genmb.billing) which handles Stripe Checkout, Customer Portal, and subscriptions. See /docs/billing.

Where does product data live?▾

The products SDK is backed by a per-app PostgreSQL table provisioned through DataConnect. You manage products through the SDK or through the Database Browser; the schema is shared.
