🚀 Excited to announce the launch of Your Next Store v1.12.0! Here are the most notable changes:
Features
Optimistic Cart
We’ve introduced an optimistic cart that updates instantly as changes are made, providing a real-time reflection of what’s in your shopping cart. This improves the overall user experience by ensuring that all updates, such as adding or removing items, are immediately visible, making the shopping process seamless and responsive.
Custom In-Memory Search
Our new custom in-memory search significantly speeds up the search process. By vastly simplifying the search implementation to match our e-commerce needs, we've achieved 10x-20x faster search responses. This means that customers can instantly find the products they want.
Bug Fixes
Disabled global CSS smooth-scroll to fix scroll restoration (thanks @rauchg and @timneutkens).
Reorganized cart routes structure to improve navigating to and away from the cart overlay (thank you, @leerob).
We’ve focused on making the shopping experience smoother and more responsive. Try out the new features, and let us know your thoughts!
🎉 We’re thrilled to announce the next chapter with Your Next Store v1.11.0! This update brings two major features: internationalization and automated taxes.
Internationalization (i18n)
Your Next Store is now easier to customize for local markets, allowing you to connect more closely with customers by presenting your store in their language. This is perfect for businesses aiming to cater to specific regions and enhance the local shopping experience.
We’ve revamped the frontend to facilitate the easy translation of all store content from English to your preferred language. This update ensures seamless integration of localized numerals and currency formatting, enhancing the shopping experience. Additionally, the integration with the Sherlock VS Code extension simplifies the translation process, making it straightforward for you to manage and launch your customized storefront.
Automated Tax calculation
Our latest update simplifies tax management for Your Next Store, ensuring easy compliance with global tax regulations for anyone, even those without deep technical or tax knowledge. Our enhanced tax system automatically calculates VAT, GST, and other applicable taxes based on billing or shipping addresses, product types, and product tax categories. This automation ensures that the correct tax rates are always applied and kept up-to-date. Additionally, the system supports European tax IDs, allowing for seamless transactions within the EU.
For smaller stores focused on local markets, we’ve introduced a feature flag that allows tax calculations to be enabled as needed. By default, this feature is disabled, catering to businesses that operate with consistent, straightforward tax requirements and prefer to manage taxes upfront. This option provides flexibility, enabling store owners to activate complex tax calculations only when necessary, keeping their system streamlined and tailored to their specific operational needs.
We’d Love to Hear from You!
Your feedback is crucial in helping us continue to improve. Please share your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions about the new features. Every piece of feedback helps us make Your Next Store even better. Let us know what you think!

Hey everyone! We’ve just rolled out version 1.10.0 of Your Next Store and it’s packed with updates. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been working on:
Big Tech Upgrades:
We’ve updated to Next.js 15 and React 19 to make sure you’re getting the latest tech.
We've turned on Turbopack for development, so you'll experience significantly faster build and reload times.
We've also enabled the React Compiler to make the app run smoother and quicker.
Cool New Features:
Product pages now come with open-graph images that are automatically generated based on product name, price, description and image. This makes it easier to share products on social media.
We’ve built a flat shipping rates picker, making it possible to include simple shipping rates in the checkout process.
We added an input to enter your tax ID in the billing section. That information is saved in the Payment Intent metadata for now; in the future, we’ll use it to calculate taxes in real-time.
There's also a new dropdown menu for selecting countries in the billing address. It’s searchable, which makes it way easier to use.
Better Usability:
Cart items quantity changes are now debounced to avoid unnecessary API calls and increase performance.
We’ve improved how things work on touch screens, especially on iOS.
We made the text easier to read by increasing the contrast in some places.
Some time ago, we've implemented conditional prefetching for links. Now, we've made it work with touch screens, too, so the app feels even faster on mobile devices. Here's a more detailed explanation of how it works: typeofweb.hashnode.dev/nextjs-prefetch-onmouseenter
With these updates, Your Next Store is faster, easier to use, and better equipped to handle your needs. Give it a try and see how these changes make your experience better!
