create-nexttify-saas

Create a SaaS starter with Next.js + Stripe + Razorpay in seconds.

Quick start

npx create-nexttify-saas my-saas --ts    # TypeScript
# or
npx create-nexttify-saas my-saas          # JavaScript

Global CLI vs npx

• npx (recommended): Runs the latest CLI directly without installing it into your project.
• Global CLI (optional): Install once, then run the command anywhere.

# install globally
npm i -g create-nexttify-saas
# use
create-nexttify-saas my-saas --ts

Avoid installing inside an existing project with npm i create-nexttify-saas. That only adds the CLI as a dependency and will not scaffold a new app.

Options

--ts               Use the TypeScript template (default: false)
--pkg <tool>       Package manager: npm | pnpm | yarn | bun (default: npm)
--force            Scaffold into non-empty directory

What’s included

• Next.js App Router (14+)
• Tailwind CSS preconfigured
• Payments: Stripe + webhook
• Optional webhooks: Razorpay, PayPal, Cashfree (stubs)
• Minimal auth/RBAC placeholders
• Simple email templates placeholder

After scaffolding

cd my-saas
npm i                          # or pnpm i / yarn / bun install
cp .env.example .env.local     # paste STRIPE_SECRET_KEY and STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
npm run dev

What the CLI does

• Creates a new folder with a Next.js project (JS or TS)
• Adds Tailwind CSS, pricing page, and navbar
• Sets up webhook routes for Stripe (and optional Razorpay, PayPal, Cashfree stubs)
• Creates .env.example and .env.local for you to fill in keys

Generated folders explained

• app/ – App Router pages and API routes
• app/pricing/ – Example pricing UI
• app/api/*-webhook/ – Webhook endpoints for payment providers
• lib/ – Payment helpers
• tailwind.config, postcss.config – Tailwind setup Common tasks

# create TypeScript app
npx create-nexttify-saas my-saas --ts

# create JavaScript app
npx create-nexttify-saas my-saas

# use pnpm as package manager
npx create-nexttify-saas my-saas --pkg pnpm

Common errors

• next: not found

  • Run npm i in the generated folder; Next.js installs with your app

• Unexpected token 'export' in next.config.js

  • Use the latest version (>= 0.1.4) or ensure JS template uses CommonJS module.exports = nextConfig;

• CLI installed inside existing project (no folder created)

  • Remove it: npm uninstall create-nexttify-saas
  • Re‑run with npx: npx create-nexttify-saas my-saas

Screenshots (npm page)

• Package page shows a generic “npm i …” install. For create‑* CLIs, use npx or npm create as shown above. Stripe setup

• Create test keys in the Stripe Dashboard

• Set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY and STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET in .env.local

• Start the app, then forward webhooks with the Stripe CLI:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/stripe-webhook

Examples

npx create-nexttify-saas acme-saas --pkg pnpm --ts
npx create-nexttify-saas demo-saas       # JS, npm

Folder structure (generated)

my-saas/ app/ page.(ts|js)x layout.(ts|js)x pricing/page.(ts|js)x api/ stripe-webhook/route.(ts|js) razorpay-webhook/route.(ts|js) # optional stub paypal-webhook/route.(ts|js) # optional stub cashfree-webhook/route.(ts|js) # optional stub lib/ stripe.(ts|js) payments/ stripe.(ts|js) razorpay.(ts|js) paypal.(ts|js) cashfree.(ts|js) tailwind.config.(ts|js) postcss.config.(ts|js) package.json

Note: Run this CLI with npx to scaffold a new folder (like create-react-app). Do not install it as a dependency in an existing project.

Troubleshooting

• Node 18+ is required
• If npx fails to find the command, clear cache: npx --yes create-next-saas my-saas
• If install is slow, try a different registry mirror
