# Build a Store in Umbraco using Umbraco Commerce

A Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to build a store in Umbraco using Umbraco Commerce.

This tutorial covers the process of setting up an Umbraco Commerce store in Umbraco from beginning to end. You will set up a store, create products, and configure a complete customer checkout flow.

This tutorial will be based around the official **Blendid Demo Store** solution, a fictional tea supplier web store. The source code for which can be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Commerce.DemoStore).

{% hint style="info" %}
This tutorial assumes that you already have the relevant site structure and content views in place for your store. The tutorial will focus on adding the commerce functionality to your existing site.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-commerce/tutorials/build-a-store.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
