Vercel Commerce (Next.js Commerce) is Vercel's official open-source template for building headless storefronts on Next.js, designed to connect to a commerce backend like Shopify, Medusa, Saleor, or Swell. It's already open source itself, so most people looking for an "alternative" actually want a different architecture — for example, a storefront that doesn't require wiring up a separate commerce backend at all.
Your Next Store takes that approach: it's a Next.js storefront powered directly by Stripe, with no separate commerce backend or database required.
