Sitecore Commerce 8.2.1 sample solution
Sitecore Commerce 8.2.1 comes along with a sample solution which is supposed to be used as a reference:
     Sitecore Reference Storefront Powered by Sitecore Commerce

The last update package (Sitecore.Reference.Storefront.Powered.by.SitecoreCommerce.10.2.65.zip)

• The source code of the Storefront implementation is available on GitHub:
  https://github.com/Sitecore/Reference-Storefront


• When you are cloning the repository make sure you are using the appropriate release for your Sitecore Commerce version:
  https://github.com/Sitecore/Reference-Storefront/releases

You can find two different solution files in the repository:

• 
  
  
  
  • Commerce.Engine.Storefront.sln – containing the Storefront shop implementation
  
  
  
  

• Commerce.Server.Storefront.sln – containing the Storefront shop implementation plus 2 TDS Projects containing
  the definition and content items, part of the Storefront website. If you have installed the Storefront update package you already
  have these items
