Next.js Commerce
Open SourceVercel's official open-source e-commerce template — a high-performance, server-rendered Next.js App Router storefront on Shopify's Storefront API, with cart, dynamic products, and edge-ready image optimization.
Why we recommend Next.js Commerce
Next.js Commerce is the canonical headless-storefront starter: Vercel's team uses it to demonstrate what the App Router can do for commerce — React Server Components fetching from Shopify's Storefront API, optimistic cart updates with server actions, streamed product pages, and Core Web Vitals that embarrass most theme-based stores. The current generation is deliberately Shopify-first (earlier multi-provider versions grew unmaintainable), which bought it depth: the Shopify integration covers products, collections, cart and SEO metadata properly rather than five providers shallowly. If you're selling with Shopify as the backend and want a custom, fast front end you fully control, this is the starting point the ecosystem assumes.
Best use cases
Best for: brands on Shopify that have outgrown Liquid themes and want a bespoke, fast storefront, agencies building headless commerce with a defensible reference architecture, and developers learning RSC data patterns on a realistic, high-stakes example.
Honest limitations
Not for: stores that need Shopify checkout customization — checkout still happens on Shopify's side, and deep customization there is a Shopify Plus conversation. Non-Shopify backends mean forking community adapters of varying freshness. All the operational parts of commerce (inventory, tax, fulfillment) remain Shopify's, not the template's.
