Introducing Paper
We live in times when creating great commerce experiences has never been faster — or more fun. Paper gives you a production-ready foundation designed to be shaped by humans, AI, or both.
Goodbye, saleor/storefront. Long live Paper.
Modern models like Opus 4.5+ or Gemini 3+ Pro, paired with self-describing, safely typed GraphQL APIs, compress months of work into hours — while leaving you in full control. All you need is the right context, patterns, and robust underlying API and infrastructure.
That's what Paper provides.
We don't believe the world needs
another vibe-coding tool for clunky storefronts.
The creative part is already well served by excellent general-purpose coding/design tools like v0. The engineering part, however, requires a production-ready foundation — solid building blocks, essential insights, and opinionated components designed to be further shaped by humans, AI, or both.
Paper aims to give you that foundation.
With modern models like Opus 4.5+, Gemini 3+ Pro, or Codex 5.3, paired with self-describing, safely typed GraphQL APIs, the path from idea to production shrinks from months to days — without giving up control or the good old build.
Mission
- We're building the open-stack, AI-first, hyper-efficient storefront for humans and AI.
- At the same time, Paper is just a repo — clone it, use it, and mold it your own way.
- We will experiment with different approaches, but one thing will remain true: the goal is a production-grade foundation that takes you from 0 to 1 in storefront development in hours/days.
- Paper is the referential Saleor storefront implementation — soon also available hosted out of the box in our SaaS (Saleor Cloud).
Production Performance
Paper is built to perform in the real world — not just in demos. Core Web Vitals are a first-class concern: fast page loads with Cache Components (Partial Prerendering), minimal layout shift, and responsive interactions out of the box. A storefront that doesn't perform doesn't convert. We track and optimize for production metrics, not synthetic benchmarks.
