Launch a fast ecommerce storefront template backed by Shopify checkout
This is a free ecommerce starter for developers who want a working storefront backed by Shopify, without starting from a blank repo. It uses Next.js for the UI and Tailwind CSS for styling, and connects to the Shopify Storefront API to pull products and collection data. Shopping cart state is persisted in the browser so returning visitors can keep their cart between sessions. The checkout flow hands off to Shopify Checkout, so payments and order processing stay within Shopify. It’s a good fit if you want a straightforward base you can customize into a small-to-medium catalog store.

Ecommerce support
Product data is fetched via Shopify’s Storefront API using GraphQL, with queries structured to keep implementation simple for typical catalogs. Cart contents are stored locally in the browser to preserve a user’s session, and checkout routes through Shopify Checkout rather than a custom payment flow. The project also includes a responsive UI approach with screenshots indicating strong Lighthouse performance targets.
