Your Next Store - AI-first platform for building commerce stores, fast

YNS is an opinionated commerce stack for agencies and software teams building design-forward brands. You can create a store by chatting with AI but the real advantage is the foundation: well-modeled commerce primitives exposed through API. Each store is a structured, Stripe-native, production-ready Next.js app that plugs into AI workflows (Codex, Claude Code), with full code ownership when needed. Commerce rebuilt for the agentic future, where agents build, reason about, and operate commerce.

The Stripe-native + full code ownership angle is the part I'd actually lead with more — most agency teams I talk to are scared of AI tools that create lock-in or bury the payment logic in a black box. What I'm curious about is how it handles the store design side once the data model is sorted — because generating a working product catalog is one thing, but getting to something a client would actually put in front of customers is usually where the real time goes.

explain plz to a non-tech small ecomm owner, how that'd be better than Shopify?

@artur_wala1 Great question! with Shopify you start simple but quickly realize you need plugins for almost everything: reviews, subscriptions, search, tags, etc. Each one may cost money. Before you know it you're paying thousands per month and your store still breaks during Black Friday because it's too complex or worse, you need a pricey dev agency to do some custom work... using Liquid

With YNS, all of that is built in from day one. No plugins to install, no conflicts, no surprise bills. One store, everything included, just works. You focus on selling - we handle the rest.

One of my biggest issues with Wix is the limitation to set up a way for customers to select delivery dates and times based upon our availability. For stores that require a bit more flexibility, will prompting via Your Next Store allow me to reach that degree of flexibility?

Jakub Neander

@lienchueh Not yet, but that's the kind of thing we can move fast on. Unlike Shopify or Wix we're small and reactive, it's just a matter of extending our API. If your use case aligns with where we're heading, we can prioritize it quickly. What does your ideal delivery scheduling flow look like?

Really dig the approach here. An opinionated, Stripe-native commerce stack with full code ownership is exactly what agencies and dev teams actually want. The "built for the agentic future" angle with AI workflows plugging in through the API is smart. Any plans for a managed hosting option for non-technical founders?

Congrats on the launch! Curious how you’re thinking about integrations - will the platform stay centered around a smaller set of core tools, or open it up to a wider ecosystem over time?

Congrats you guys launching🚀

This is awesome, we need real agent native commerce platform!

I'm also impressed you guys Commerce SDK. I need to try.

In korea, there are no way to open stripe account, so i think korean seller who sell to korean, might be stuck..

Is there any plan to open more flexible plugin system?

If i could, someday i would like to build korean payment system on your platform!

Anyway, congrats on your product launch!

Cool! Is there SSR for JS frontends? Is SEO taken into account?
