A modular commerce engine for building custom storefronts, marketplaces, and B2B commerce experiences.
About the Project
Why use this?
Medusa provides the commerce primitives developers need to build tailored e-commerce systems: products, carts, orders, payments, promotions, inventory, customers, and multi-region support. Its modular architecture makes it suitable when a hosted storefront platform is too restrictive.
It is a strong choice for teams building custom storefronts, headless commerce, marketplaces, and B2B commerce platforms where customization and data ownership matter.
