Next Commerce (formerly 29 Next) is a hosted ecommerce platform for direct-to-consumer brands that sell through paid-traffic funnels, with checkout, upsells, subscriptions and multi-gateway payments in one place. Growth costs $299 a month plus 1% on third-party payment gateways, after a free trial.
29 Next is now Next Commerce
Next Commerce was previously called 29 Next. The company's GitHub organization now carries the Next Commerce name and links to nextcommerce.com, while store domains and some developer resources still use the 29next name.

What it really is
A hosted ecommerce and checkout platform built around paid-traffic funnels, upsells, subscriptions and payment routing for DTC brands.
Our take
Next Commerce is built for the way performance marketers sell: custom funnels, order bumps, post-purchase offers and subscriptions, all on one checkout with gateway routing. That focus is the point, and it removes several paid apps a Shopify store might need. The $299 entry price and the 1% third-party gateway fee only make sense once a brand has real volume, so smaller stores should start elsewhere.
Why we rate it
Deep funnel and payment features aimed squarely at performance DTC brands.
The catch
High entry price, a 1% gateway fee and unpublished NEXT Payments rates.
Best for
DTC brands running paid traffic
Subscription offers
Teams testing funnels and upsells
Not good for
New or small stores
Marketplace sellers
Merchants wanting published payment rates
Friction report
Time to value
Days to weeks: funnels, gateways and themes need setup, or the managed plan does it for you.
Scale breakpoint
Payment fees at volume; get NEXT Payments rates in writing.
Walled garden
Low to medium: Admin API, webhooks, Storefront GraphQL and apps such as Klaviyo and ShipStation.
