# Getting started

Before you start with Shopstory make sure following criteria are satisfied:

1. Your project must be React-based (`next.js`, `gatsby`, `remix`, `hydrogen` or `create-react-app)`.
2. You have a Shopstory access token.

## React

Shopstory can be used in any React-based project. The documentation is focused around `next.js` (it's the most popular framework among our customers), but the Shopstory integration code is not really framework-specific. If you're not using `next.js` and want to learn Shopstory the best way to is to simply read `next.js` documentation and then go to our [integration examples repo](https://github.com/shopstory-app/shopstory-examples/tree/main/examples) and find example code for your framework. For example, you can find Gatsby example [here](https://github.com/shopstory-app/shopstory-examples/tree/main/examples/contentful-gatsby-4).

{% hint style="info" %}
We're currently working very hard to make Shopstory compatible with non-React frameworks like Vue.js.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Access token

In order to start the process you will need a Shopstory access token. We're currently invite-only so in order to acquire the token please send us a message (<simon@shopstory.app>).

## Let's build

If you use React and have Shopstory access token, you're ready to start.
