Saleor

Saleor is a headless, open-source e-commerce platform built with Python, Django, and GraphQL, designed for modern Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), mobile applications, and custom storefronts. Founded by Patryk Zawadzinski and developed by Saleor Commerce (formerly Mirumee Software), the platform separates the backend commerce engine from the frontend presentation layer, communicating exclusively through a GraphQL API. Key features include: complete GraphQL API covering products, categories, collections, channels (multi-store support with separate inventories, pricing, and branding per channel), orders, fulfillment, payments (via Stripe, Braintree, Razorpay, Adyen, Mollie, and custom payment plugins), shipping zones and methods, taxes (with Avalara and TaxJar integration), discounts, vouchers, gift cards, customer accounts with address books and order history, wishlists, product variants with stock tracking, digital product downloads, warehouse management, staff dashboard with role-based permissions, and webhook integration for real-time event notifications. The Saleor Dashboard provides an admin interface for store management. Saleor is built on PostgreSQL with Redis for caching and Celery for background tasks. The platform supports multi-currency, multi-language (i18n with 20+ built-in languages), SEO (meta tags, canonical URLs, structured data), and PWA storefront (built with React, Next.js, Apollo Client). As of 2026, Saleor version 3.x has over 20,000 stars.
