What is Medusa?

Medusa is a set of commerce modules and tools that allow you to build rich, reliable, and performant commerce applications without reinventing core commerce logic. The modules can be customized and used to build advanced ecommerce stores, marketplaces, or any product that needs foundational commerce primitives. All modules are open-source and freely available on npm.

Learn more about Medusa’s architecture and commerce modules in the Docs.

Running locally

You will need to use the environment variables defined in .env.example to run Next.js Commerce. It's recommended you use Vercel Environment Variables for this, but a .env file is all that is necessary.

Note: You should not commit your .env file or it will expose secrets.

1. Install Vercel CLI: npm i -g vercel
2. Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates .vercel directory): vercel link
3. Download your environment variables: vercel env pull

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Your app should now be running on localhost:3000.

How to configure your Medusa server for Next.js Commerce

Next.js Commerce x Medusa requires a running Medusa server.

Create a Medusa Backend​

It is recommended to use Yarn for the installation process as it's much faster than using NPM.

1. Install Medusa CLI​

• npm
• Yarn

yarn global add @medusajs/medusa-cli

If you run into any errors while installing the CLI tool, check out the troubleshooting guide.

2. Create a new Medusa project​

medusa new my-medusa-store --seed

3. Start your Medusa backend​

cd my-medusa-store medusa develop

4. Add Medusa backend domain to an environment variable

Create a MEDUSA_BACKEND_API environment variable in you Next.js Commerce project and use your Medusa backend domain as the the value (default: http://localhost:9000).
