Perch Shop files on GitHub?

Are there any non-runway shop setups available to peek at on Github or wherever? I have a host of questions about setting up shop and many of the fixes I've found on the forum seem to be runway specific. I'd rather have some examples to look at rather that rain down noob questions upon the forums.

Shop was designed for Runway so most examples that we create will assume Runway as the Perch use cases are more simple.

We assume people using Shop with Perch are doing things like selling a couple of products etc. and the docs include information on all of the functions that would allow that. Checkout and so on are the same for both products.

I followed the Slack chat about example files with interest. I understand why you've moved away from them, but I did find them useful. I'm sure the Runway users find the Nest examples on GitHub useful too, and I'd still like to see some regular Perch builds, shop in particular if they're out there.

If we had bundled examples with the Shop they would have been for Runway, it is one reason we didn't as that would have been really confusing for anyone using Perch.

If using Shop as we imagine for Perch then it's like you only have a few pages to build. If you are doing anything more complicated the extra time you would spend in Perch just dealing with routing and so on would far outweigh the cost of an upgrade to Runway.
