A prompt to build your own version of Shopify

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Shopify-style app, first version

Build a web app for my own online store, with a shopper view and a demo admin view. The main screen should show a clean product grid with photos, prices and a search box. Tapping a product opens its details and an Add to cart button. The cart should let shoppers change quantities and complete a simulated checkout that creates a demo order. In the admin view, show orders and product stock counts, with controls to update order status and edit inventory. Use realistic sample products and orders, and clearly label checkout as a demo with no real charges. Use a white background, dark text and green buttons, with a simple layout that works on phones and computers.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Shopify won't have

Shopify connects a store to Shop's existing shoppers, its app ecosystem and established payment and shipping partners.

  • Shop's existing shoppers
  • Shopify's app ecosystem
  • Shopify's negotiated shipping rates
  • Shopify's payment partner agreements
