Micro Store

Micro Store is a free, open-source Astro and Tailwind CSS starter kit that lets you embed Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy widgets to turn a simple static site into a storefront.

What is Micro Store?

Micro Store is a starter kit for Astro, a static site generator, styled with Tailwind CSS, published by Lexington Themes. It is designed to be a simple theme where you can embed your Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy product links, so you don't need a full ecommerce backend. The template takes standard Astro content (pages and components) and builds a static site with npm run build, outputting to the dist folder. It is distributed under the GPL-3.0 open-source license.

Key Features

Micro Store stands out by combining Astro's static site generation with Tailwind CSS V4 and built-in Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy embed compatibility.

• Astro framework — Uses Astro.js, with pages defined as .astro or .md files in src/pages, each automatically becoming a route.
• Tailwind CSS V4 — Styling is done via a single src/styles/global.css file that imports Tailwind with @import "tailwindcss", includes the @tailwindcss/typography and @tailwindcss/forms plugins, and uses the @theme directive for custom styles.
• Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy integration — The repository description states it's a theme where you can embed your Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy storefront.
• Simple project structure — Follows the standard Astro layout: public, src/components, src/layouts, src/pages, and src/styles.
• Open-source license — Released under GPL-3.0, so you can fork, modify, and use it in your own projects.
• Attribution-free version available — Lexington Themes offers a version without attribution for those who prefer to remove the credit link.
• Recent update — Updated on 06.16.2025, featuring a full redesign, light mode, and a new color palette.
• Standard npm commands — npm install, npm run dev (dev server at localhost:3000), npm run build, npm run preview, and npm run astro CLI access.

Who is it for?

Micro Store is best suited for individuals and teams who want a minimal storefront without a full ecommerce platform.

• Freelancers — Use it to quickly set up a client's digital product store with Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy embeds, saving hours of frontend work.
• Developers — Treat it as a modern Astro and Tailwind CSS V4 boilerplate to extend, with a clean structure and no build-tooling complexity.
• Creators and small businesses — Sell ebooks, courses, templates, or software by embedding product widgets on a static page, without maintaining a backend.

What can you do with Micro Store?
