What is Medusa?
Medusa is an open-source headless commerce platform written in TypeScript for Node.js.
What does it do?
Ships commerce as modules — carts, orders, products, pricing, promotions, inventory, multi-region and multi-currency — behind a REST API, with an admin dashboard and a Next.js starter storefront. You host it and build the frontend.
Who is it for?
Development teams and agencies building custom storefronts, B2B portals or marketplace flows that a template-based store builder cannot express.
What are the alternatives to Medusa?
Vendure and Saleor are the other open-source headless engines, in TypeScript and Python. Shopify and WooCommerce give you a storefront out of the box. Snipcart bolts a cart onto an existing site.
