**A premium storefront foundation for your business.**

LaunchBase is a production-ready catalog website built with Next.js and Supabase. Showcase your products, collect customer reviews, and take orders through chat — without building authentication, admin tools, and a database from scratch.

Ideal for small businesses, local shops, service providers, and client websites that don't need a full checkout flow.

## What you get

- **Product storefront** — clean, responsive catalog with pastel product cards

- **Chat-based ordering** — customers order via WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Viber in one tap

- **Ratings & reviews** — dedicated review pages for individual products

- **Admin dashboard** — manage products, reviews, and business info from a web UI

- **Multi-admin support** — the first admin can promote or remove other admins

- **Automatic owner setup** — the first person to sign up becomes the store owner

- **Fully responsive** — mobile, tablet, desktop

- **Zero-cost stack** — Next.js and Supabase both have free tiers

## Why chat ordering instead of checkout

Not every business needs a payment processor. Local shops, service providers, and sellers in emerging markets often take orders by chat and arrange payment and delivery directly. LaunchBase gives you a professional catalog for that workflow — no Stripe account, no payment fees, no PCI compliance.

Connect the order button to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Viber. Change the button label from "Order via Chat" to "Book Now," "Inquire," or anything else — one line in `ProductCard.tsx`.

## Tech stack

- **Framework:** Next.js with TypeScript

- **Backend:** Supabase (Postgres, auth, storage, RLS)

- **UI:** React, plain CSS

- **Deploy:** Vercel or Netlify — both free tiers supported

## What's NOT included

- **No built-in payment processing.** Orders happen via chat. If you want a checkout flow, this isn't the right template — look at my Telegram Mini App template instead.

- **No hosting included.** You deploy to your own free Vercel or Netlify account.

- **No customization work.** Setup support only.

## Setup

1. Click "Use this template" on the GitHub repo, or download the ZIP

2. `npm install`

3. Follow `SETUP.md` — create a Supabase project, add env vars, run the migration

4. Deploy to Vercel or Netlify with one click

Total setup: about 20 minutes for anyone comfortable with `npm`.

## Who it's for
