## Astro E-commerce templates

Building an online store with Astro?

[Astro templates & code starters for BCMS](https://www.thebcms.com/starters/astro/) give you a clean, minimal foundation designed for performance and developer control.

Astro’s static-first architecture means your pages ship mostly HTML with zero JavaScript by default, so your storefront loads instantly.

When you need interactivity, Astro’s partial hydration ([island architecture](https://www.thebcms.com/blog/astro-server-islands-tutorial.md)) lets you add React, Vue, or Svelte components only where necessary, keeping your bundle size tiny.

BCMS handles everything content-related: product catalogs, pricing, promotions, localized text, and banners. Update any content from the CMS interface without redeploying, freeing your dev time for building features, not fixing content workflows.

Perfect for B2C shops, marketplaces, or subscription models that demand fast load times, SEO-friendly markup, and flexible content management.

### What’s inside the E-commerce blog template:

- Structured product & catalog data: Model complex products, variants, pricing rules, and promotional content inside BCMS, pulled in as typed JSON.

- Zero JS by default: Astro pre-renders your pages to static HTML, with interactive components hydrated only where you need them.

- Built-in localization: Use BCMS features to launch fully multilingual stores.

- Flexible payment integration: Integrate Stripe, PayPal, or custom checkout UIs using client-side hydrated components.

- Optimized media handling: Deliver fast, responsive product images with Astro’s native <Image> component tied to BCMS media.

- Tailwind CSS setup: Utility-first styling lets you rapidly build or tweak your store’s UI without fighting complex CSS.

- SEO optimized by design: Automatically generate meta tags, Open Graph, and schema data from BCMS content.

- Mobile-first & performance-focused: Your store works flawlessly on every device.
