Ecommerce Admin is a full-stack e-commerce admin dashboard and CMS built with Next.js 13 that lets developers manage multiple stores, products, orders, and payments from a single dashboard.
What is Ecommerce Admin?
Ecommerce Admin is an open-source admin panel that combines CMS, admin, and API generation into one Next.js application. It takes store data like products, categories, billboards, and filters as input, and outputs REST API routes for each store along with a management interface. The template uses React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, MySQL, and PlanetScale, and it is available on GitHub from user aressss1.
Key Features
This admin dashboard offers feature management for multiple stores, including products, categories, billboards, filters, search, orders, and revenue analytics.
- Multi-store management — Control multiple vendors (e.g., a shoe store, laptop store, suit store) from one CMS; the system generates API routes for each store individually.
- Product CRUD — Create, update, and delete products, upload multiple images via Cloudinary, and assign filters such as color and size during product creation.
- Category and billboard management — Create, update, and delete categories and billboards (large text banners), attach billboards to categories, or use them standalone.
- Search with pagination — Search across all categories, products, sizes, colors, and billboards, with built-in pagination.
- Featured products — Toggle the "featured" flag on products to control homepage display.
- Orders and analytics — View orders, sales data, and revenue graphs in the dashboard.
- Authentication and payments — Clerk handles user authentication, Stripe handles checkout and webhooks, and order creation is automated.
Who is it for?
Developers, agencies, and store owners who need a ready-made backend admin for e-commerce projects will find this template useful.
- Developers — who need a ready-to-use admin backend for e-commerce sites and want to avoid building CRUD and API routes from scratch.
