Next.js Ecommerce 2025 - Shopping Platform From Scratch

If you want to take your React skills to the next level and learn to use Next.js in an actual real-world project, this is the course for you. We are using Next.js, TypeScript and many other technologies to create "Prostore". A full-featured shopping platform with reviews, PayPal and Stripe integration, email receipts and more.

This course is for people that already know React. Knowing the basics of Next.js is even better. You will learn how to use many different technologies together to create a full project that you can then display on your portfolio.

Here is a list of some of the technologies and libraries that we'll be using:

• Next.js v15

• React v19

• TypeScript

• ES Lint

• PostgreSQL

• Prisma

• Zod

• Next Auth

• React Hook Form

• PayPal & Stripe API

• ShadCN UI

• Tailwind CSS

• Recharts

• Uploadthing

• Jest

Even though this is a project-based course, it is not simply "watch me code". I will explain in detail what I am doing so that you can understand rather than just copy. You can then use that knowlege to create your own awesome projects.
