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.

What it is, and why we rate it

What it really isA hosted ecommerce and checkout platform built around paid-traffic funnels, upsells, subscriptions and payment routing for DTC brands.
Our takeNext 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 itDeep funnel and payment features aimed squarely at performance DTC brands.
The catchHigh entry price, a 1% gateway fee and unpublished NEXT Payments rates.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Days to weeks: funnels, gateways and themes need setup, or the managed plan does it for you.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Payment fees at volume; get NEXT Payments rates in writing.
  3. Walled garden
    Low to medium: Admin API, webhooks, Storefront GraphQL and apps such as Klaviyo and ShipStation.
Still a fit?
