Your Next Store

What it does

• One starter works against Shopify, Medusa, Saleor, or BigCommerce as headless backends, so a merchant can keep its existing commerce data and replace the storefront.[1]

• Standalone mode pairs Stripe checkout with Sanity content and runs without a commerce backend, which suits simple catalogues that only need payments and pages.[1]

• AI tooling includes an MCP server, pre-built agent skills, and a Universal Commerce Protocol endpoint, so coding agents can build and operate the storefront.[1]

• The storefront uses Next.js with edge-cached server rendering and shadcn interface blocks, and deploys with one click to Vercel or onto self-hosted infrastructure.[1][2]

Who it fits

• Teams rebuilding a Shopify storefront they want to own: the vendor publishes a like-for-like comparison and a migrator for products, customers, orders, and discount codes.[1][2]

• Developers building with AI assistance: agent skills and the MCP server make this starter a fit where the storefront will be extended by coding agents.[1]

• Simple Stripe-checkout sites: merchants that need payments and content but not a full commerce platform can run the standalone mode.[1]

Limits to weigh

• Speed, conversion, and fee figures on the vendor comparison page are vendor claims without cited independent measurement; treat them as marketing until verified.[1]

• Subscriptions and loyalty ship as paid add-ons and hosted plans run Starter to Pro with custom Enterprise, so the free core does not cover every commerce need.[1]

• No single-sign-on, offline, or data-residency options are documented in the researched sources, and self-hosting leaves operations with the merchant.[1][2]
