    The Shopify Storefront API is a GraphQL API for building headless commerce experiences. It provides access to
    products, collections, cart, checkout, customer accounts, and contextual pricing. All requests use GraphQL over
    HTTPS and require a Storefront API access token. The Storefront API supports both unauthenticated (public) and
    customer-authenticated access patterns.
