What is it?

Vendure is a headless commerce backend for businesses whose catalog, pricing, orders and promotions don't fit a standard storefront template. It covers products and variants, carts and orders, multi-location stock, promotions, payments, shipping, tax and customers, and exposes them through typed Shop and Admin GraphQL APIs that any frontend can call.

The core is written in TypeScript on Node.js and NestJS. Developers extend behaviour through plugins and service overrides instead of editing the framework, so custom entities, pricing logic and workflows can be added without forking. Multi-channel, multi-region, multi-currency and multi-language setups run from a single instance, and an admin dashboard built with React is included and can be extended with custom pages.

Projects are scaffolded with `npx @vendure/create`, which needs Node.js 22.12 or later and a SQL database such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB or SQLite. The project can be self-hosted on Docker, Kubernetes or a single VM. Paid plans and a managed cloud offering are built on top of this open-source core.
