Michał and I are building Your Next Store, a modern Next.js boilerplate for creating online stores directly on top of Stripe.
While working on several e-commerce projects, particularly building storefronts for enterprises, we realized that many small to medium-sized stores could benefit from a simpler, more efficient setup. Stripe provides most of the tools needed for e-commerce, but we noticed a gap in how these tools could be easily integrated into a modern, high-performance storefront. That's why we built this boilerplate.
Your Next Store allows you to create an online store with Stripe as the backend, eliminating the need for an additional database. Products are stored in Stripe, and all operations are managed directly through Stripe, significantly simplifying the backend. This setup is ideal for small, maybe even medium-sized stores looking for an easy-to-maintain solution with fewer moving parts.
- Direct Integration with Stripe: Stripe as your backend, eliminating the need for a database or CMS and reducing complexity.
- Next.js Performance: Next.js as the framework offers great defaults for both productivity and performance. It's also more flexible and easier to customize compared to something like Liquid :)
- Simplified Maintenance: Fewer moving parts make it easier to set up and maintain compared to more rigid solutions like Shopify.
The project is on GitHub, and we decided to sell access to the codebase to support ongoing development and respond to feature requests.
