Medusa Next.js Starter
Open SourceThe official Next.js storefront for Medusa, the open-source commerce platform — full ecommerce flow with product pages, cart, checkout with Stripe, customer accounts, and App Router server components throughout.
Why we recommend Medusa Next.js Starter
Pair this storefront with a Medusa backend and you have one of the strongest fully-open-source commerce stacks available: Shopify-class primitives (products, variants, carts, discounts, regions, multi-currency) you self-host and extend in TypeScript, with none of it behind a SaaS meter. The starter implements the entire purchase journey — catalog, product detail, cart, Stripe checkout, customer accounts and order history — on the App Router with server components, and it's maintained by the Medusa team as their reference client, so it tracks the platform's API changes immediately. For teams that keep hitting hosted platforms' customization walls, this is the credible exit that doesn't mean building commerce from scratch.
Best use cases
Best for: businesses needing custom commerce logic (B2B pricing, unusual fulfillment, marketplaces) that hosted platforms price or wall off, EU companies wanting data on their own infrastructure, and TypeScript teams who prefer extending a framework to fighting a SaaS.
Honest limitations
Not for: merchants without engineers — you are now operating a backend, database and storefront, which is the cost of the freedom. The out-of-box design is intentionally plain, expect real front-end investment. Medusa's ecosystem (plugins, integrations) is healthy but a fraction of Shopify's app store.
