The OneEntry Next.js Shop Template is a free, open-source e-commerce starter that connects a Next.js storefront to the OneEntry headless CMS cloud backend. It consumes remote API data for products, pages, users, and attributes from the OneEntry platform, and outputs a production-ready storefront with cart, checkout, orders, and user accounts.
What is the OneEntry Next.js Shop Template?
This is a demo e-commerce application built by the OneEntry Platform team to show how front-end developers can pair Next.js with a headless CMS. It takes OneEntry API credentials (a project URL and app token) as input, then renders a fully functional online store that can be edited through the OneEntry admin panel without touching code. The codebase includes a storefront, admin-driven content, and a live demo deployed on Vercel.
Key Features
- Full CMS Control — Every element from product cards to category pages is manageable through the OneEntry admin panel, so content updates require no code changes.
- Flexible Content Management — Product descriptions, images, pricing, and promotions are all stored and edited in the OneEntry CMS, keeping the storefront content and layout separate.
- User Authentication — Registration via email or phone, JWT token handling, and user activation through email verification codes are built into the template.
- State Management — Uses Redux Toolkit and server state for managing cart, favorites, orders, and user data.
- Stripe Payments — Checkout is integrated with Stripe for secure transactions, plus order history for past purchases.
- Real-Time Events — WebSocket-based event notifications let the store push updates, offers, or news to users in real time.
- Advanced Filtering & Recommendations — Product catalogs support multiple filters, and the template can display curated product selections and recommendations.
- Testing Suite — Includes Jest and Testing Library for unit/component tests and Playwright for end-to-end tests, with around 171 E2E tests across 20 spec files covering auth, cart, checkout, catalog, favorites, orders, profile, search, navigation, localization, accessibility, and mobile flows.
Who is it for?
Front-end developers who want a ready-made Next.js storefront that connects to a headless CMS without building the front-end from scratch. OneEntry users who need a concrete reference implementation for using OneEntry's API, SDK, and admin panel in a real e-commerce scenario. Agencies or businesses that want a customizable, scalable online store they can adapt to specific branding and feature requirements.
What can you do with the OneEntry Next.js Shop Template?
- Launch a custom store — Set up a product catalog, shopping cart, Stripe checkout, and order tracking by adding your OneEntry API credentials and adjusting content in the admin panel.
- Test headless e-commerce architecture — Use the template to explore how Next.js and a headless CMS interact, including API-driven product pages, user accounts, and event notifications.
- Customize and extend — Tailor the design with Tailwind CSS and TypeScript, add your own features, or configure multi-language support through the i18n configuration file.
How does the OneEntry Next.js Shop Template work?
The developer creates a OneEntry workspace, generates an app token, and adds the project URL plus token to a .env file. After cloning the repository and running npm install, the Next.js app fetches content from OneEntry's API and renders the store. Developers can then edit products and pages in the admin panel, and the storefront updates dynamically.
FAQ
Is the OneEntry Next.js Shop Template free?
Yes, the template itself is free and open-source. However, running it requires a OneEntry account and API token; OneEntry's platform has its own pricing for cloud hosting and CMS usage.
What tech stack does this template use?
It uses Next.js as the React framework, Tailwind CSS for styling, TypeScript for type safety, Redux Toolkit for state management, GSAP for animations, and Stripe for payments. It also includes JWT-based authentication and WebSocket-powered event notifications.
Do I need the OneEntry admin panel to use this template?
Yes, the template is designed to work with the OneEntry CMS. All products, pages, and users are managed through the OneEntry admin panel, and the storefront reflects changes made there. You cannot run the store without OneEntry API credentials.
What testing tools are included?
The project includes Jest and React Testing Library for unit/component tests, and Playwright for end-to-end tests across Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, and mobile viewports. The E2E suite covers more than 170 scenarios.
Can I deploy this template?
Yes, it is a standard Next.js app and can be deployed to any Node.js hosting platform. The repo includes a npm run deploy command and references a Vercel demo, so Vercel is a supported deployment target.
