Medusa
Open-source, headless commerce platform for building custom storefronts and commerce backends.
About Medusa
Medusa is a composable, headless commerce platform for building custom online stores. It provides a commerce backend with APIs for products, orders, carts, payments, and fulfilment, while you build any storefront on top.
It is modular by design, with a plugin system for payments, shipping, and integrations, and it supports multi-region, multi-currency, and multi-channel selling out of the box.
Released under the MIT license, Medusa is fully self-hostable with Node.js and PostgreSQL, and is a popular open-source alternative to Shopify for developers who want full control.
