Payload is the first-ever Next.js native CMS that can install directly in your existing /app folder. It's the start of a new era for headless CMS.
Quickstart
Before beginning to work with Payload, make sure you have all of the required software.
pnpx create-payload-app@latest
If you're new to Payload, you should start with the website template (pnpx create-payload-app@latest -t website). It shows how to do everything - including custom Rich Text blocks, on-demand revalidation, live preview, and more. It comes with a frontend built with Tailwind all in one /app folder.
One-click deployment options
You can deploy Payload serverlessly in one-click via Vercel and Cloudflare—giving everything you need without the hassle of the plumbing.
Deploy on Cloudflare
Fully self-contained — one click to deploy Payload with Workers, R2 for uploads, and D1 for a globally replicated database.
Deploy on Vercel
All-in-one on Vercel — one click to deploy Payload with a Next.js front end, Neon database, and Vercel Blob for media storage.
One-click templates
Jumpstart your next project with a ready-to-go template. These are production-ready, end-to-end solutions designed to get you to market fast. Build any kind of website, ecommerce store, blog, or portfolio — complete with a modern front end built using React Server Components and Tailwind.

@facebookQuestions about payload.
Install it with the command on its page. It includes payload. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Free and open source.
- What is payload?
- payloadcms/payload is a plugin that ships skills, commands, and MCP servers for the open-source fullstack Next.js framework, which provides a TypeScript backend and admin panel. Use it for headless CMS setups or applications built on Payload, with a payload skill covering collections, hooks, and access control.
- How do I install payload?
- Run these in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add payloadcms/payload then /plugin install payload@payload-marketplace. Then prompt normally.
- Does payload auto-invoke its skills?
- Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin.
- Is payload free?
- Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.
- Which coding agents can use payload's skills?
- payload installs in Claude Code, and its skills also install in Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI. Each skill's page has the install command. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
