Ecommerce CMS Dashboard

The Ecommerce CMS Dashboard is an open-source, Next.js 13-based admin panel that lets store owners manage products, track orders, and control store content from a single dashboard interface.

What is the Ecommerce CMS Dashboard?

The Ecommerce CMS Dashboard is an open-source admin dashboard template built with Next.js 13, Tailwind CSS, and Prisma. It provides the management side of an online store: you can add and update products, track incoming orders, and handle store content through a web-based CMS interface. The project runs on the Next.js App Router and connects to a companion storefront repository, so it is designed as the back-office half of a full ecommerce setup. The codebase was created following a YouTube tutorial by Code With Antonio and is published on GitHub.

Key Features

• Next.js 13 App Router — Uses the app directory structure with app/page.tsx as the main starting point, compatible with server components and auto page updates during development.
• Tailwind CSS styling — Utility-first styling keeps the UI fully customizable by editing class names in the component files.
• Prisma with MySQL — Repository metadata lists Prisma as the ORM on MySQL, providing a typed schema for products, categories, and order data.
• Clerk authentication — The metadata includes Clerk, which supplies a ready-made sign-in flow and session management for store administrators.
• Stripe payments — Stripe integration is present in the stack, enabling order checkout and payment tracking that surfaces in the dashboard.
• shadcn-ui components — The interface relies on shadcn-ui, a collection of accessible, copy-pasteable React components styled with Tailwind.
• Optimized Inter font — next/font automatically loads and optimizes Inter as the default Google Font.
• Vercel deployment ready — The README includes the standard Next.js deployment instructions for shipping the dashboard on Vercel.

Who should use this template?

• Ecommerce store owners — can self-host an admin panel to add products, update listings, and track orders without building a custom backend.
• Full-stack developers — get a complete reference for integrating Next.js 13, Prisma, Clerk, and Stripe in a real dashboard app.
• Tutorial followers — can build the same project step by step with the Code With Antonio YouTube tutorial.
• Freelancers and agencies — can fork the dashboard as a foundation for client ecommerce builds that pair with a separate storefront.

What can you do with this template?

• Product management: add new products and update existing product information (pricing, description, images) through the admin CMS forms.
• Order tracking: monitor orders coming in from the connected store and view their status in the dashboard.
• Development testing: run the local dev server with npm run dev, yarn dev, pnpm dev, or bun dev and edit app/page.tsx to see changes instantly.
• Deployment: deploy the dashboard to Vercel using the provided instructions and link it to the companion store repository.
