# Build Modern Shopping Experiences with PWA Kit

The Progressive Web App (PWA) Kit is a new storefront technology for headless commerce using Salesforce Commerce APIs and React. It provides front-end developers with a more flexible and agile approach to build and maintain modern shopping experiences. This release focuses on localization updates and improvements related to SEO, performance, and shopper experience.

**Where:** Available to all Salesforce B2C Commerce customers.

**When:** June 15th, 2023

**Why:** Each change has a numbered link to the relevant pull request in the open-source repository.

**What’s New in v3?**

We’ve added lots of new features to PWA Kit v3, including:

- 🔨 **Template extensibility**: Greatly reduce your project's code footprint and reduce development toil, cost of ownership, and future upgrade headaches. For more details, see the [Template Extensibility](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/commerce/pwa-kit-managed-runtime/guide/template-extensibility.html) guide!
- 🪝 **@salesforce/commerce-sdk-react "hooks" integration**: Decouples API calls from a project's implementation, allows API calls to be upgraded as an npm library dependency, and brings along many of the great features (including state management, and others) via [TanStack](https://tanstack.com/query/latest) Query. See the the [Commerce SDK React docs](https://salesforcecommercecloud.github.io/pwa-kit/index.html) to get started!
- ⚛️ **Major vendor library updates**, including support for **React 18**, **Node 16 / 18**, **Chakra 2**, and more.

For details on upgrading from PWA Kit 2.7.x, see the [Upgrade to v3](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/commerce/pwa-kit-managed-runtime/guide/upgrade-to-v3.html) guide.
