Synchronizing data

After installation and setup, the plugin will automatically:

• Sync product, collection & category metadata between Medusa and Strapi
• Allow extending product data with Strapi's content types

Usage

Once the plugin is set up, you can use Strapi's admin panel to add rich content to your products and use the Strapi API to fetch this content for your storefront.

Example of fetching product content from Medusa (with Strapi fields):

// In your storefront
async function getProductContent(productId) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${MEDUSA_BASE_URL}/store/products/${productId}?fields=cms_product.*`,
    {
      headers: {
        "x-publishable-api-key": STOREFRONT_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY,
      },
    },
  );
  const data = await response.json();
  return data.data[0];
}
