medusa

Building an online store from scratch means rebuilding core commerce logic such as products, carts, orders and payments every time. Medusa is a headless commerce platform and framework that provides these foundational building blocks so teams can focus on what makes their store different. Its core commerce modules are open-source and freely available on npm, and the framework lets developers customize and extend them for B2B or DTC stores, marketplaces, distributor platforms, PoS systems and service businesses. Medusa is aimed at developers and engineering teams who want full control over their commerce stack, and it can be run locally or deployed on Medusa Cloud. Its core is licensed under the MIT License, while Enterprise Edition features require a commercial agreement. The project is written in TypeScript and JavaScript, with a React-based admin dashboard, and ships with documentation, release notes and an integrations catalog to help teams upgrade and connect third-party services.
