    Content Management in Shipkit

    Shipkit provides a flexible content management system that allows you to choose the right tool for each use case. The system supports two powerful CMS options:

    1. Payload CMS - A self-hosted headless CMS with a powerful admin interface
    2. Builder.io - A visual page builder with a drag-and-drop interface

    Shipkit implements a unified routing system that allows content to be served from either Payload CMS or Builder.io dynamically.

    Choosing the Right CMS

    • Payload CMS: Best for structured content like blog posts, product pages, and documentation
    • Builder.io: Ideal for marketing pages, landing pages, and visually rich content. Supports visual editing and drag-and-drop, as well as some AI features.

    Content Authoring

    Shipkit also supports Markdown and MDX for content authoring, which can be used alongside either CMS option.

    Getting Started

    To get started with content management in Shipkit, configure your preferred CMS:

    # For Payload CMS
DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/database
PAYLOAD_SECRET=randomsecretkey # Used for encrypting passwords and sessions

# For Builder.io
NEXT_PUBLIC_BUILDER_API_KEY=your_builder_api_key

    Payload CMS is automatically enabled when both DATABASE_URL and PAYLOAD_SECRET are provided. You can explicitly disable it by setting DISABLE_PAYLOAD=true.

    See the individual CMS documentation pages for detailed setup instructions.
