About Spree Commerce
Spree ships an official TypeScript SDK, formalizing its headless commerce bet
Spree, a Rails-first open-source commerce platform, has made its headless path official with a stable TypeScript SDK. @spree/sdk 1.0.0 gives full Store API v3 coverage, a provider-agnostic Payment Sessions API, multi-market support, generated types, and three auth modes. The 1.0.1 follow-up adds SDK extensibility and fills in missing delivery and fulfillment totals.
