How It Works

Open Storefront fetches a storefront.json file from Google Drive, parses it into an interactive menu, and lets you navigate nested sub-storefronts or download individual files — all with simple numeric key presses.
1

Install Python

Ensure Python 3 is installed on your system. No additional packages are required.
2

Run the client

Launch the client with python main.py. It loads the default home storefront automatically.
3

Navigate and download

Enter item numbers to navigate into sub-storefronts or download files to your local machine.
