Frequently asked questions
What is mock.shop?
mock.shop is a free collection of more than 100 sample stores with ready-made product data for building an online store with AI. Each one is stocked with products, prices, images, collections, and options like size and color, so your agent builds with Shopify data from the start instead of making it up.
How can I build an online store before I have products?
Start from a sample store. Your agent sets it up as your own preview store, products and all, so you can design and test your whole store before you have products of your own. When you’re ready to sell, claim the store and everything you’ve built comes with it.
Where can I find sample product data for an online store?
mock.shop has free sample product data from more than 100 stores across apparel, home, beauty, food and drink, hobbies, and digital products and services. Stores range from a few products to about 1,000, and include dropshipping, print-on-demand, subscription, and made-to-order businesses.
How do I choose a sample store?
Tell your agent what you want to sell, and it’ll search for the closest match. If you’d rather choose yourself, browse and search every sample store in the docs.
How do I vibe code an online store?
To vibe code an online store, copy the prompt at the top of this page into an AI coding tool like Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT. Your agent reads the mock.shop agent instructions, picks a sample store, and sets it up as your own preview store. Install the Shopify AI Toolkit (opens in a new tab) to give it Shopify’s docs and tools as well.
How do I prototype an ecommerce storefront without AI?
To prototype an ecommerce storefront without AI, query any sample store through the Shopify Storefront GraphQL API, with no API key or login. Scaffold a Hydrogen storefront with mock.shop data in one command, start from the starter repository (opens in a new tab), or connect Next.js, a mobile app, or any other client. The docs walk through every step.
What can I test with mock.shop?
Browsing, search, product options, and carts all work like a live store, so you can shop your store the way a customer would. Sample stores mirror the Shopify Storefront API, so code written against one runs unchanged on a real store. Checkout never takes a payment or places a real order, and products are fictional and read-only.
Is mock.shop free?
Yes. mock.shop is free, and you don’t need an account, API key, or credit card to start building. You’ll only need a Shopify account when you’re ready to claim your store and start selling.
