Next Commerce

“Can a performance-marketing-native e-commerce platform own the full DTC stack — funnels, multi-gateway payments, and subscriptions — and replace both funnel builders and direct-response CRMs for 7–9 figure brands?”

The story

Founded in 2021 in Singapore by performance marketers frustrated with high payment failure rates and expensive subscription tools, Next Commerce built a full-stack DTC e-commerce platform from the ground up. The product evolved from a campaign/funnel tool into a broader commerce OS — adding native subscriptions (zero additional fee), embedded multi-gateway payment orchestration, and a Shopify bridge (ShopSync) to let brands run NEXT alongside existing Shopify stores. The embedded payments layer (NEXT Payments) is central to its differentiation: it routes transactions across multiple gateways, improving approval rates and reducing per-transaction costs versus single-gateway competitors.
