    • - configure the API in order to prevent the token from expiring, and store it in the next js app as an environnement variable (.env.local), so that it's not exposed to the client and can be used for fetching the api when generating static pages. The official ecommerce theme of Next.Js seems to use that method (https://github.com/vercel/commerce/blob/f770ad7a91059a2ecfbb9de1bac111dfe7016124/framework/bigcommerce/api/index.ts#L82)
