Hey @mfaeezshabbir, is you Medusa server running on localhost:9000? If it's running on a different port or domain, make sure to update the NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL env variable.

Yes it was on port 9000 but this error is from the storefront

facing same issue @mfaeezshabbir @VariableVic Medusa backend is running on PORT: 7001, changed it in frontend .env, still giving same error

The issue is most likely a CORS issue on the backend (dealt with it in production today).

Make sure the STORE_CORS variable is being set properly in your env and medusa-config.js

pretty sure its caused by wrong config pointing admin to backend:
NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:7001
it should be on local
NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:9000

I was facing the same problem with a fresh project. And while searching for a solution I looked into medusa config - there are process.env.XYZ vars. And I forgot to export them via console. After export $(grep -v '^#' .env.local | xargs) in storefront catalog it works like a charm.
