Saleor

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Saleor is a headless e-commerce platform — Python + Django + GraphQL API, designed for modern composable commerce. Headless means you build your storefront in any frontend (React, Vue, Next.js), and Saleor provides the API + admin. The OSS alternative to commercetools / Shopify Plus headless mode.
