Storefront API and JS SDK

Using the Storefront API, access the Recharge API using browser-safe tokens that can be called directly from the storefront without the use of middleware. Recharge will automatically scope permission to the specific customer, filter out information customers should not see, and inhibit customers from operations for admins. With storefront access, the Recharge JS SDK was created to offer full coverage of common needs and uses the storefront API to improve the developer experience.
