# Basic selling flow

This is the basic selling flow on the TheShop frontstore. It is the easiest way how to connect a frontstore to TheShop API and build an eCommerce channel that can sell.

1. A customer lands on a homepage.
2. They visit the product list.
3. They choose any listed product and see its detail.
4. They add product to the shopping cart.
5. They review items in the shopping cart.
6. They choose shipping and payment method.
7. They create an order in the checkout.

This flow describes only the parts that are connected via API. All other parts are hard-coded within the TheShop template.
