Leverage the power of Next.js to quickly produce efficient e-commerce sites. This project-oriented book will simplify the process of setting up a starter e-commerce site using Next.js from start to finish, creating a usable e-commerce offer with little more than a text editor or free software. It will equip you with a starting toolset you can use to develop future projects, incorporate into your existing workflow, and help you to take your websites to the next level, reducing reliance on tools that are bloated, prone to being hacked, and not the most efficient.

Practical Next.js for E-Commerce is an excellent resource for getting started creating and manipulating e-commerce sites using a static site generator approach. It takes the view that you don’t have to create something complex and unwieldy; you can build something quickly, then extend it using the power of the API or plugins over time, without sacrificing speed or features.
