## Building apps with Norce Commerce

Help and resources for those who want to understand how to build storefront apps using Norce.

### Overview and architecture

The [Frontend development design](/developer-portal/app-development/frontend-development-design) document introduces architectures, terminology, and development patterns as well as what to
think about overall in your system design.

[Using Norce Commerce Services](/developer-portal/app-development/calling-norce-services) explains how Norce Commerce Services works and what to consider regarding credentials and such.

### Examples

In the Postman collection, you can find [Norce Commerce Services Examples](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/2973406/2sA35MzK14). If you're unsure about
how the Postman collection works, check out [Working with Norce Commerce's Postman examples](/developer-portal/working-with-norce-postman-examples).

On GitHub, Norce Commerce has a [sample Storefront application](https://github.com/StormCommerce/Storm.Sample.Storefront) built in .Net 7 which can be run in
Docker. This will give you near real-life examples to check out. Read more about [The Sample Storefront project](/developer-portal/the-sample-storefront-project).

### Working with products

[Working with Products and variants](/developer-portal/app-development/working-with-products-and-variants) presents what you need to know to understand the product model and how we structure
products and variants in Norce Commerce's entity model.

[Working with listing products and variants](/developer-portal/app-development/working-with-listing-products-and-variants) provides information on searching, listing and finding products
without an external search service. If you do use an external search service, check
