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! :)

Thanks! Happy you liked it!

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...

We're planning to stick around a bit longer :)

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

Thanks! Could you describe your use case so that I could better understand how to implement this?

That's an interesting insight, and I'd like to learn more about it.

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

Oh... I hadn't though of that. I guess you're suggesting maybe tracking orders in stripe by creating new orders to mirror the ones made outside of stripe? I would have guessed that stripe's api wouldn't have room for that - but that might be short shortsightedness on my part. I may have to look into that next time I touch the admin app.

I completely agree with you on WooCommerce themes.

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

Thanks!

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

Happy to beta test! I'm available at hi at username dot com

Great!!

We started by storing data like stock as product metadata directly in Stripe. Plus, we’re developing a thin layer to manage the sync between individual stores and Stripe (e.g. atomicity)

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.

Yes, we've had similar experiences and plan to address them to some extent. In certain cases, like with Facebook, it might not be straightforward, but we want to provide built-in alternatives e.g. analytics specifically tailored for e-commerce that cover ~80% of what you need, with the rest being a trade-off.

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

Congrats! Looking forward to your project! Let me know what's missing and what's not ideal and generally your feedback. You can contact me by email once you start building.
