Nuxt Commerce

A server-rendered e-commerce starter for Nuxt backed by Shopify

Best for: Nuxt developers building a Shopify-backed storefront who want SEO, image optimization, and structured data solved out of the box.
Skip if: You're not using Shopify (or Medusa) as your commerce backend, or you need built-in auth/payments beyond what Shopify provides.

Nuxt Commerce is a free, open-source Nuxt storefront starter built for high-performance commerce, defaulting to a Shopify backend with support for alternatives like Medusa. It includes Nuxt UI, a GraphQL client with code generation, image and script optimization, hybrid rendering, and SEO features like sitemaps, meta tags, and JSON-LD structured data.

Pros

Free and open source, deployable directly as a Vercel template
Strong SEO defaults: sitemap, meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD product data
GraphQL client with code generation for typed Shopify queries
Supports alternative commerce backends like Medusa, not locked to Shopify

Cons

Requires a Shopify (or compatible) store as the actual commerce backend - it's a frontend, not a full commerce platform
No built-in auth or payments beyond what the commerce backend provides
Community-maintained by a single primary author rather than an official Nuxt team project
