Improve documentation on local env setup

[pawelphilipczyk]

I've deployed my next.js commerce based project and cloned it.
I can see that all env values in Vercel dashboard are set and encrypted.
Then I generated my store api account in BigCommerce and I got all values except for BIGCOMMERCE_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN (which is not the same thing as BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_API_TOKEN).

I can see in BigCommerce api docs I could generate storefront api token with postman or something but this seems a bit complicated.

Am I missing something simple? :D It feels like I am. I guess this is a call for docs improvement on local dev setup.

maybe this will help #13

Thanks, it worked! I guess this is a piece of cake for someone familiar with Vercel CLI.

Do you know where do those generated values live? I do not see this client anywhere in my BigCommerce dashboard.
This is a bit (too) magical.

You can see API token values or generate them in your BigCommerce Control Panel you can find out how to do this here.

@pawelphilipczyk ! Those are part of Vercel<>BigCommerce integration - As soon as you pull those env vars, you are ready to go. 😌

We updated our README! And more docs coming soon! Thank you!

Can anybody tell me where the env values are actually being used/called in the code?
