About Saleor
Saleor is an open source commerce platform built around a GraphQL API. It lets teams run an online store with their own storefront and business logic.
What it does
Saleor provides the back end for an online shop. It handles products, prices, orders and other commerce data, and exposes them through a GraphQL API that a storefront or other app can call. A web admin dashboard lets store staff manage the catalog and orders without writing code.
Key features
- GraphQL API for products, orders and customers
- Admin dashboard for everyday store work
- Built-in catalog, order and translation tools
- Extensible API and dashboard
- Designed to stay fast with large data sets
Who it's for
Saleor suits commerce teams that want control over their stack and have engineers who are comfortable with GraphQL and loosely coupled services. It is a good fit for teams building custom shopping experiences rather than using a fixed theme.
Pricing and good to know
The core project is open source under the BSD-3-Clause license, so you can self-host it without a license fee. Saleor Cloud is a managed option where the Saleor team runs the platform for you. Expect more engineering work than with a hosted store builder, since you assemble the storefront and integrations yourself.
Highlights
- Manage products, orders and stock through a GraphQL API
- Admin dashboard for catalog, orders and translations
- Extend the API and dashboard with your own code
