Vendure

Vendure is a headless, open-source commerce platform built with TypeScript and Node.js, developed by Elevantiq GmbH and maintained under the MIT license with over 8,200 GitHub stars. The platform distinguishes itself through a GraphQL-first architecture that exposes both storefront and admin APIs, enabling frontend teams to build with any framework including Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, Astro, or custom mobile applications. Vendure provides first-class B2B commerce support including custom fields for any entity, account-based pricing rules, order approval workflows, minimum order quantities, and per-customer product variants. The commerce engine handles multi-channel selling with separate channels for different brands, regions, or sales channels, each with independent pricing, tax rules, inventory allocation, and stock levels. The search and discovery module integrates with Typesense for faceted search, autocomplete, and product recommendations. Payment integration supports Stripe, Mollie, Braintree, Klarna, and custom payment handlers through a pluggable payment strategy pattern. Vendure Cloud offers managed hosting with automatic deployments from GitHub, built-in caching, CDN, and dedicated support. The platform has undergone independent OWASP security assessment and is GDPR compliant. Enterprise customers include IBM with their Project Marlin initiative, Hans Kohler AG achieving a 20 percent increase in daily orders with a unified B2B and B2C platform, and Munch processing 10,000 transactions per day with 350,000 monthly active users. Enterprise pricing starts with 70 percent faster rollout times and a 50 percent lower total cost of ownership compared to legacy commerce platforms.
