Tebex Headless Template is Finally Here
A modern, open source foundation for building a real Tebex store with Next.js.
If you've ever used Tebex to sell packages for your game server or FiveM/RedM Scripts or Maps, you've probably noticed the same thing I did.
The checkout is reliable, the APIs are solid, payments are handled well, and getting a store online takes only a few minutes.
The problem starts when you want your store to actually look like your store.
The customization options are extremely limited, the available themes feel outdated, and most of the decent ones are paid. Even after buying a theme, you're still constrained by the platform and its design choices.
But the biggest limitation isn't the design, it's everything around it.
Out of the box, a Tebex store gives you nearly zero control over SEO. You can't properly optimize page metadata, create meaningful landing pages, integrate modern analytics the way you would on a custom website, or build content that search engines can actually index well.
That's fine if your community already knows who you are, but it's a very different story if you're trying to grow.
If someone searches for your server, your project, your scripts from the CFX Forum or even the type of experience you offer, your website should be helping you get discovered.
A Different Approach
Instead of trying to customize Tebex itself, the idea is simple.
Let Tebex do what it does best, handling products, payments and checkout, while your own website takes care of everything your players actually see.
The Tebex Headless Template uses the official Tebex Headless API together with the Tebex Checkout API to build a completely custom storefront using Next.js and shadcn/ui.
The result is a modern website that still uses Tebex behind the scenes, but looks and behaves exactly the way you want.
You aren't replacing Tebex, you're simply giving it the frontend it deserves.
Built to Be Easy
One of my goals wasn't just creating another template.
I wanted something that people could actually use without spending hours digging through the codebase.
Most of the configuration happens inside the .env file.
Store information, branding, API keys, analytics IDs and other settings can all be configured without touching the application's logic.
Clone the repository, update a few values, and you're ready to start customizing your own store, host it on Vercel, Cloudflare or Netlify.
Whether you're a developer who wants a solid foundation or a server owner looking for a better storefront, getting started should feel straightforward.
Modern Technologies
The project is built with technologies I already use every day.
Next.js provides excellent performance, server-side rendering and SEO capabilities.
shadcn/ui offers a clean, modern component library that's easy to customize without fighting against pre-built styles.
Together they create a fast, responsive experience that feels much closer to a modern SaaS website than a traditional game server store.
SEO Actually Matters
This is probably the biggest reason I decided to build the project.
Many server owners invest countless hours creating unique experiences for their communities, well developed scripts and well designed maps… yet their websites make it incredibly difficult for new potential clients or players to find them.
With a custom Next.js website you can properly optimize metadata, page titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags, structured content and everything else that helps search engines understand your website.
Adding Google Analytics, Google Search Console or other marketing tools becomes just another configuration step instead of an impossible task.
Your website becomes more than a checkout page, it really becomes part of your project's identity.
Open Source for Everyone
I could have turned this into a paid template, instead, I wanted to give something back to the community.
Everything is open source, so anyone can inspect the code, learn from it, fork-it and customize it or even build something completely different on top of it.
Hopefully it saves other developers time and gives server owners a much better starting point than the default Tebex themes.
