How to Build Ecommerce with Next.js Template + Strapi
Blog post from Strapi
Strapi 5 and Next.js 16 provide a composable headless ecommerce stack that separates content management, storefront rendering, and payments, allowing teams to build and evolve each layer independently. The guide explains how to scaffold a Strapi backend, create Product, Category, and Order collection types, add product data, enable public REST API permissions, and account for Strapi 5’s flattened response format. It then connects a Next.js App Router frontend using Server Components, protected server-side API tokens, image-domain configuration, and time-based data revalidation, while highlighting Next.js 16 changes involving Turbopack, asynchronous request APIs, image optimization, and cache tagging. A client-side React Context cart persists items locally, Stripe Checkout creates payment sessions, and a server-side Stripe webhook securely verifies completed payments and records orders in Strapi. Finally, the deployment process uses Strapi Cloud for the backend and Vercel for the frontend, with separate production credentials, webhook configuration, and end-to-end test payments, followed by suggestions for cache invalidation, role-based access, internationalization, performance improvements, and ecommerce SEO.
