The truth is, we all love having reliable and scalable tools with plenty of features, but most of them eventually lead you down a rabbit hole of subscriptions. Payload, however, feels like a miracle. I hope this team, and the entire community, are blessed for their genuine passion and dedication.
Looking forward to taking Payload for a spin. Thanks very much for making it. Tbh Im not quite sure why more influencers on RUclips arent all over this project. From what i can see it literally feels like the missing piece of the whole puzzle.
Thanks for this introduction to Payload. I'm looking forward to that in-depth view of the website template. Maybe you could make a follow-along video. That's the best way to learn.
Awesome CMS, finally trully opensource cms that is not a Wordpress! Thank you!. Please make a tutorial how to use it with Astro! and if there a way to make with a live edit feature working, would be unreal.
At first I was thinking, why wouldn't I just use a database and an ORM... but turns out you do some pretty cool stuff on top. Awesome stuff. Since alot of sites would add payload to handle certain functions of the site, a video on how Payload can live in the (blog) route of nextjs, utilizing the Drizzle extension would be cool.
I think it could be nice to add an updated tutorial on how to use multi-tenancy in Payload comparing it with the Multisite feature from Wordpress. God-like project you're building, hi from Colombia
As a suggestion/feedback, a full tutorial would be nice for a relatively simple ecommerce site with auth, localization and i8n in on the content as well as in the admin panel, integrated payments and storage options (local, s3, others), newsletter signups, contact forms with email and/or other confirmations, so we can see what the best practices are when integrating with other libraries and/or backends. All in all, this is awesome
All the features you listed there don't sound like a "simple site" haha We've got the ecommerce template in the pipeline, I'll try to get it 90% ready before christmas so people can play around with it and use it and then early next year we'll release it properly. Email is something we'll cover in that template as well
@@paulpopushehe true, it's just that RUclips is full of such projects presented in a more or less professional manner so I just took it for granted at this point. It's very good to know that you have a guide/template/tutorial release in the pipeline 😁. On this note, a jobs introduction and example would also be super welcome.
Amazing looks almost like the thing I ever wanted to make but was too lazy/unexperimented. An admin dashboard running along next, that can be serverless, and have finally a simple typesafe scalable customisable Cms. Thank you for doing this open source ! Can't wait to test this out, see how to deploy it , how db integration works, etc. Gonna read the doc right now haha I'm hyped... Too bad I dropped nextjs for Astro but if it can ever be headless I will start using rn. ✨✨✨
Hi Payload Team, great job, again! I love the videos you share and I really enjoy working with this CMS, even though I am a beginner with coding; the channel 'All About Payload' by 10x Media guys is so helpful! There is just one thing I'd like to be better explained > Internationalisation for the 3.0 version. I mean, it's one of the most demanded features, and unfortunately the docs are not very detailed on this, moreover when you add 'localized: true' to fields the content disappears so it is tricky to implement it later on for the project. I'm looking forward to some tutorial on that as being new to coding I struggle :D cheers
4:00 Question: In the collections structure, what if I remove the title or description fields, while there's data already in db. Can I just add the title or description fields back, and the data is still there? Or does deleting the fields also automatically remove those field's data in db too?
Could you create a video covering all the different Field Types? I'm particularly interested in the Blocks field and would like to see a demonstration of nesting Blocks.
when do we get a guide to setup an ecommerce site with the latest version? would be good if it showed how to include paypal and afterpay and not just stripe.
i think you have to add tailwind CSS like we got in the next.js projects with the create-next-app, it take little bit of time and effort to setup tailwind CSS manually, I hope you add this.
Thank you, James, for the video. Can you please provide the repository for this example? I'm following your instructions, but some items are not working as expected. I'm not sure if I forgot something.
Omg, thats a crazy amount of work you guys have done! Congrats! I have a next js clothing store project that i host on Vercel with Supabase as my postgres wrapper and storage. Will Payload be a good option for me to use as an Admin panel, where my colleagues can manage their respective product groups and blog posts? Thanks
@JamesMikrut i had seen it but i didn't know how much it still applied to Payload3, glad to hear there might be a new one in the future ! Thank you to all th team for the all the great work!
what if you need to use only some features maybe the media functionality and so without the extra stuff maybe also in an exciting project is it possible thanks in advance
Hooks like the one used assign the "doILike" property may expose things by accident. You've stated that you only want to select the "title" but it also came with the doILikeIt property and with the id. It is / was not clear that these two would end up in the results
I find Payload’s authentication setup frustrating. I recently started using better-auth, which is much easier and more straightforward. Lucia requires building everything from scratch, Auth.js v5 is difficult to set up, and services like Clerk are easy but take control of your data. Payload is similar to Lucia-it provides basic email/password routes but leaves you to create everything else. I hope future versions include something like better-auth to simplify things. I’m still a beginner with Payload, so I may just need more experience.
Of course. Still ships with traditional “headless CMS” APIs like REST / GraphQL so you can still fetch your content from any framework in the same way as you’d normally expect!
I tried to install payload using `npm create-payload-app`, choose sqlite as db, but it doesn't work, npm run dev killed immediately, no error, just next server starting and then killed immediately. what is wrong here?
Can I recommend turning off the JSON highlighting in future videos or not wiggling your mouse over it so much. I don't have epilepsy but I have some sensitivity towards it and I found it very unpleasant to see it constantly flashing. I imagine those with photo sensitivity may be affected by it too.
Further research tells me their enterprise customers. But I still can’t believe that would support them enough to bankroll the entire operation in a completely wholesome manner.
Great question. The Local API is only used in server components, and there, server components don't -refresh- if data changes. If someone wanted to change the selected car, we'd have to re-fetch the car. If we didn't have that requirement, then we could make a server component that only fetches on first load. Does that make sense?
@@JamesMikrut For sure, thank you James. we are looking for more advance and reliable options on payload. working on Algolia search. Customizing dashboard, and more. I wish I was master in this industry to make tut for payload community.
I discover payload while looking for an alternative to wordpress (just wanna escape theme and plugin hell).payload seem promising. after learning next.js I on payload.
@ you must mean the supabase video? Will there come a mongodb one? Like right now in the video you mention: i allready have mongodb running. Pardon my previous message. This all is very complex to set up as a design first then coder. At least for me. But payload seems to be a good option. I am trying to step away from craftcms/kirby and wordpress php development. Cheers

Always a good day when a new Payload vid drops
That crop and hot spot on the image was pretty sweet

That's precisely how Wes Bos described us. Great way to think about Payload.
Please make a tutorial on how to customize payload dashboard
i will personally do this ASAP

Correct, this would replace need for Wordpress!
Good idea. I’m on it
@@ventureskate88 😍
Amazing features, please keep up these video tutorials and examples 🔥
Can't wait to see a video about multi tenant implementation
First time seeing this and it really is something i wanna try in future 👍

Payload looks super promising. I’m looking forward to doing a long tutorial or course on Payload so I can really get to know it.
càng ngày nhìn anh càng đẹp trai, em mê anh quá, à quên mê payload quá )))
What a legend. Thank you James!!!

Great video as always James!
Would be really neat if you open sourced the code for these walkthrough videos.
best CMS on the market
nice! cant wait for the ecommerce template to be available..
Let's be honest guys: Payload is the GOAT.
This looks really good! Awesome job!
4:00 Question: In the collections structure, what if I remove the title or description fields, while there's data already in db. Can I just add the title or description fields back, and the data is still there? Or does deleting the fields also automatically remove those field's data in db too?
Depends on which DB you use. If MongoDB, the data will remain, if SQLite or Postgres, it’ll drop the column and the data will be gone
We need a payload remix/react-router or an example repo about it. RR7 is going to be big. You don't want to miss this opportunity!
Looks heavily inspired from notion to me, pretty cool
That's a good thing. Easy to use
100% Need a Payload x SvelteKit video!
please make a full playlist for beginners to explain the concept etc..
I didn't find any new videos about it
Next up is a full tutorial series on the Website template! That will show everything!
@@JamesMikrut thanks for your efforts
Could you create a video covering all the different Field Types? I'm particularly interested in the Blocks field and would like to see a demonstration of nesting Blocks.
Had a project coming up using Strapi but now I think I gotta reconsider...
That's great. Is it possible to deploy only Front End to Vercel and another full version for admin in a VM or container?
This is super helpful - can we get more of these style videos?
Please share the example on github.
Thank you for this and for your amazing product!
best thing I ever found on internet ❤
When are you going to implement the features you are advertising on your landingpage over the past year now ? Like Folders in media and live editor ?
when do we get a guide to setup an ecommerce site with the latest version? would be good if it showed how to include paypal and afterpay and not just stripe.
Can we use this cms for markdown? With no database or other things? All blogpost on files?
Can you do an indepth video on building blocks with in blocks, been getting stuck?
the idea is solid, can this be attached to other frameworks? not a nextjs fan
i think you have to add tailwind CSS like we got in the next.js projects with the create-next-app, it take little bit of time and effort to setup tailwind CSS manually, I hope you add this.
Thank you, James, for the video. Can you please provide the repository for this example? I'm following your instructions, but some items are not working as expected. I'm not sure if I forgot something.
Best Headless CMS 👌
How good is it with vite based projects. Like a vanilla react-ts app?
Meta-framework for your meta-framework?
Does look really nice though. If i ever go back to web im def gonna try this out.
Pretty sick, does it work with Remix/RR7? How hard to integrate SSO?
Omg, thats a crazy amount of work you guys have done! Congrats!
I have a next js clothing store project that i host on Vercel with Supabase as my postgres wrapper and storage. Will Payload be a good option for me to use as an Admin panel, where my colleagues can manage their respective product groups and blog posts?
Thanks
Yes
Could you make a tutorial on how to manage user auth on the frontend? I'm still a bit confused by it. Also always a pleasure to see anew payload video
Yes absolutely. We do have this one that might help: ruclips.net/video/CT4KafeJjTI/видео.html but I'm gonna make a new one
@JamesMikrut i had seen it but i didn't know how much it still applied to Payload3, glad to hear there might be a new one in the future ! Thank you to all th team for the all the great work!
what if you need to use only some features maybe the media functionality and so without the extra stuff maybe also in an exciting project is it possible thanks in advance
you can do that! that's when you'd want to use our Blank template. Payload starts extremely small and then you can add only what you need
Hooks like the one used assign the "doILike" property may expose things by accident. You've stated that you only want to select the "title" but it also came with the doILikeIt property and with the id. It is / was not clear that these two would end up in the results
100%. I did that quickly and sloppily but you are 100% right. To prevent that field from being leaked you could use field-based access control
To be honest I like payload
Such an amazing project!
🎉🎉 congratulations
Awesome, thank you!
Please! Tutorials on how to install on mac! ❤
James why are you using the old src path and not the app as root?
i would love to do app as root, but i was downvoted by both Twitter and by my own team. 😇
There really needs to be a fullblown tutorial.
Any videos on how to install payload on an existing nextjs app?
I can make one of those for sure
thats crezy good sir

Does Payload play nice with other frontends like Astro, Alpine, Solid?
Of course. Still ships with traditional “headless CMS” APIs like REST / GraphQL so you can still fetch your content from any framework in the same way as you’d normally expect!

Yes I am uninstalling that damn JSON extension. I flashbanged myself 100x in this video.
Flashbang! I've not heard that in so long. I feel like a teenager playing Counter Strike again.
Thanks for listening.
How does payload make money?
good question.
Further research tells me their enterprise customers. But I still can’t believe that would support them enough to bankroll the entire operation in a completely wholesome manner.
Q: Why is CarPriceLabel using rest api instead of payload local api?
Great question. The Local API is only used in server components, and there, server components don't -refresh- if data changes. If someone wanted to change the selected car, we'd have to re-fetch the car. If we didn't have that requirement, then we could make a server component that only fetches on first load. Does that make sense?

cloudflare ssr supported?
seems very usefull
Wow. Does this mean we don’t required FastAPI?
Thanks❤❤❤❤
Awesome!! 🙌🏽
can we use bun with it?
can admin be a subdomain?
yes, Payload's admin UI and API routes can be mounted on a subdomain
Wonderful !
Awesome!

404 This page could not be found. That's what I got after installing. Although I used npm not pnpm...

wow
why don't you make it like wordpress?
Wordpress for next js
One more Strapi?
Give some complex projects tutorials not a basic one please.
will do, this one needed to come first for intro docs but now it's time to go more in-depth. keep an eye out
For free ? vercel is about buying this and putting a fee 😆
You got unlucky, unauthorized() launched right at the same time as your video.
Why!!! Why so you always skip the database part… its where shit hits the fan.

Petition to get Payload to use Remix instead of Next.js
You mean React Router 7 framework instead of Next.js. Time flies very quickly
