Storefront
Storefront is the headless commerce and marketplace extension for Fleetbase. It provides the complete backend infrastructure to build on-demand delivery apps, multi-vendor marketplaces, or direct-to-consumer e-commerce platforms — all deeply integrated with Fleet-Ops so orders flow automatically into your dispatch system.
What Storefront Does
| Capability | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Stores & Networks | Single-store or multi-vendor marketplace architecture |
| Product Catalog | Products, categories, variants, addons, availability hours |
| Orders & Cart | Persistent cart, multi-store checkout, order lifecycle management |
| Payment Gateways | Stripe, QPay, and Cash on Delivery |
| Customer Management | Registration, authentication, order history, saved addresses |
| Push Notifications | APNs and FCM notification channels for broadcast and transactional pushes |
| Customer Reviews | API endpoints for product and store reviews (network-gated, API-only) |
| Food Trucks | Mobile store locations linked to Fleet-Ops vehicles with live GPS |
| Catalogs | Group products into named bundles, assign to food trucks |
| Headless API | Full REST API for powering custom mobile or web frontends |
| Open-Source App | A React Native + web client your customers download — see Storefront App |
| Fleet-Ops Integration | Checkouts create Fleet-Ops orders for fulfillment automatically |
Key Concepts
Storefront is built around a few core entities:
- Store — a single brand or merchant with its own catalog, locations, operating hours, and branding. Each store has an auto-generated API key for secure public access.
- Network — a collection of stores forming a marketplace. Networks aggregate stores with shared payment gateways and notification channels.
- Product — an item for sale with variants (required selections like size/color), addons (optional extras like toppings), and per-product availability hours.
- Cart — a persistent shopping session. Carts expire 7 days after creation and are tied to the customer or guest
unique_identifier. - Checkout — a finalized cart with payment, delivery address, and service quote. A successful checkout creates a Fleet-Ops order.
- Customer — an end-user who can register, authenticate via phone/email/social login, and track their orders.
