01Problem

Headless commerce templates tend to be either bare-bones starters or over-engineered demos. Real production e-commerce needs a template that ships with payments, search, observability, and tested deployment patterns out of the box.

02What I built

A production-oriented headless commerce template pairing a Next.js storefront with a Medusa v2 backend. Includes Stripe checkout, webhook integrations, analytics, search, end-to-end testing, and deployment patterns.

03Highlights

  • 01

    Next.js storefront + Medusa v2 backend wired via Turborepo

  • 02

    Stripe payments + webhook handling, idempotent order flow

  • 03

    Meilisearch product search, Cloudflare R2 media storage

  • 04

    Playwright e2e suite covering checkout golden path

  • 05

    Sentry + PostHog instrumentation; Resend transactional email

04Outcomes

  • Shipped as a public, deployable template — live demo at medusa.crowcommerce.org and open source on GitHub.
  • Checkout runs end-to-end on Stripe with idempotent webhook handling, guarded by a Playwright golden-path suite.
  • Production defaults ship in the box: Meilisearch search, Cloudflare R2 media, Sentry + PostHog instrumentation, and Resend transactional email.

06Status

Production-oriented template.

07What this demonstrates

E-commerce engineering: payment integration, webhook reliability, search infra, observability, end-to-end testing, multi-service deployment.

08Author's note

Headless commerce is mostly an integration problem, not a frontend problem. The wins are idempotent webhook handling, e2e coverage on checkout, and observability in production.
