About Vendure

Vendure is a headless commerce framework built with TypeScript, NestJS and GraphQL. The open-source core covers catalogue, orders, customers, promotions and multi-channel selling, with a plugin system for extending almost anything and an admin dashboard for staff. It is licensed under GPLv3 and can be self-hosted at no cost. On top of that, Vendure sells commercial plans with B2B capabilities such as company accounts, contract pricing, approval workflows and procurement integrations, plus a commercial licence and support. It suits engineering teams building custom B2B or B2C commerce in the Node.js world. Like other frameworks, it requires developers to build the storefront and integrations, and the commercial plans are priced for established businesses in euros. It runs on your own servers, with a cloud offering in beta.

Best for: Node.js teams building custom B2B or B2C commerce backends.
