I'm building Your Next Store (YNS); it's a Shopify alternative built with React and Next.js.

We provide an opinionated boilerplate tailored for tools like Claude or Codex, so designers and developers can build storefronts faster and more easily. It enforces a clear structure to start from while keeping full control over design, animations, and the overall storefront experience. It’s built on top of Stripe, with our higher-level commerce abstractions, like "add to cart", "checkout", "pay", "browse products" etc; plus a Commerce CMS so merchants can manage everything smoothly once their store is live.

If youre planning to sell something online and want a modern solution, hit me up! :)

Why? Typing (or speaking) multi-criteria queries to find products to buy can be faster and more intuitive than navigating menus, e.g. searching for “yellow bag under $100” or "extra virgin olive oil with high polyphenol count over 400 mg"

Built with Next.js + AI SDK and in the demo it integrates with OpenAI GPT-4o to process product data (thanks to AI SDK switching providers is straightforward)

It's still a work-in-progress, but I'd love your feedback! Could this be useful? What features or improvements would you like to see?

I can confirm the bug - thanks for the heads-up! We recently did a few iterations on that part, and it looks like something slipped through the cracks...

Is there anything I can do to help or convince you to give us a try?

Off the top of my head, have you considered using the Stripe API directly in those other places? i.e. Stripe as the source of truth, with data being fetched to those other places as REST calls for example?

I imagine that linking those "other" orders with products might be a bit tricky, though

we're also working on themes, which will be based on shadcn UI.

We're experimenting quite a bit at the moment - starting with Umami, but we’re also considering developing a custom solution (analytics subset) specifically for e-commerce

Coupons are on our roadmap, and adding them should be relatively straightforward. Would you be interested in beta testing it with us? :)

A Dockerfile has been proposed by the community. I’ll review it today: https://github.com/yournextstore/yournextstore/pull/22/files

This solution is not (yet) ideal, but works well for most small stores and we have some ideas how to improve it further - composability/headless can be overwhelming in many such scenarios.

I also think Facebook, Google, Hotjar et al. will eventually get better with those scripts.

That said, the project is open-source, so the community could add support for something like Razorpay.

When you mention Stripe isn’t available everywhere, which country would you like to see added?

Yes, we’re working on this - we plan to start by enabling stablecoin-only payments. Would that work for your use case?

For starters could you remove the `packageManager` from the `package.json` entirely and try again?

if you're available, we can do a quick video call and I'll see exactly what happens on your side as I cannot reproduce it atm
