Introduction

Your Next Store is a modern commerce platform built on Next.js and Stripe. Learn what YNS offers and how the ecosystem fits together.

What is Your Next Store?

Your Next Store (YNS) is a modern, developer-first commerce platform. It gives you everything you need to launch and run an online store — a managed backend, a TypeScript SDK, and a production-ready storefront template.

YNS is built on Next.js and Stripe, designed for speed and simplicity. Whether you're launching a side project or building a serious ecommerce business, YNS handles the infrastructure so you can focus on your products.

The YNS Ecosystem

The platform consists of three parts:

YNS Platform

The managed backend at yns.store. It provides:

• Product, variant, and inventory management
• Cart and checkout powered by Stripe
• Order management and customer records
• Collection and category organization
• Blog posts and legal pages
• REST API for programmatic access

Commerce SDK

A lightweight TypeScript SDK (commerce-kit) that wraps the YNS API. It provides typed methods for every API endpoint, zero-config initialization, and works in any JavaScript runtime.

import { Commerce } from "commerce-kit";

const commerce = Commerce();
const products = await commerce.productBrowse({ limit: 10 });

Storefront Template

An open-source Next.js storefront at github.com/yournextstore/yournextstore. It's a production-ready starter that connects to your YNS backend via the Commerce SDK. Deploy it to Vercel with one click.
