description: Task-oriented guides for building on Bolder with the REST API, the Storefront SDK, the CLI and AI agents.
---

Each guide covers one task end to end, with code that runs as written. For every parameter and field, see the references: [API v2](/api/v2), [Storefront SDK](/frontend/sdk), [Liquid](/frontend/themes) and [CLI](/cli/reference).

## API

**[Make your first API request](/guides/first-api-request)**

Get a personal access token and call the v2 API with curl or `bolder-api-client`.

**[Create an order and take payment](/guides/create-an-order)**

Create an order from your server, retry it safely, and send the buyer to checkout.

**[Receive order webhooks](/guides/receive-webhooks)**

Subscribe a URL to order events, activate it and handle deliveries.

**[Build an app for other merchants](/guides/build-an-app)**

Register an OAuth application, ask for scopes and keep tokens fresh.

## Storefronts

**[Add a cart and checkout to your site](/guides/add-a-cart)**

Load the Storefront SDK in any page and let it handle cart and checkout.

**[Use Bolder checkout with your own cart](/guides/checkout-only)**

Keep your own cart and backend; use only Bolder's checkout.

**[Build and publish a hosted theme](/cli/guides)**

Scaffold a Liquid theme, work on a dev copy and publish it with the CLI.

## AI

**[Give your AI agent the Bolder docs](/guides/ai-agents)**

`llms.txt`, Markdown pages, skills, and the MCP server for stores.
