Next.js Node.js E-Commerce Build

I’m ready to launch a full-stack e-commerce site built with Next.js on the front end and a Node.js back end. The goal is a fast, SEO-friendly storefront that handles everything from product browsing to secure checkout while remaining easy for me to maintain and scale.

Here’s what I need from you:

• A Next.js storefront that loads quickly, supports server-side rendering, and works smoothly on mobile and desktop.
• A Node.js API (Express or similar) powering product data, user accounts, shopping cart, and order processing.
• Integration of a reliable, PCI-compliant payment gateway so customers can complete purchases with confidence.
• Admin tools for adding and editing products, managing inventory, and viewing orders.
• Clean, modular code in a private Git repository, plus setup instructions so I can deploy updates myself.

I’m flexible on specific libraries and UI frameworks—whether you prefer Tailwind CSS, Material UI, or something else, suggest what fits best. Design-wise I lean toward a modern, uncluttered look but I’m happy to see creative ideas that stay conversion-focused.

Please tell me about similar e-commerce builds you’ve completed with Next.js and Node.js, how you typically structure the project, and an estimated timeline for getting to a live MVP.
