Open Source Headless Commerce Software

Headless Commerce software decouples the backend commerce logic from the frontend presentation layer. These tools manage product catalogs, order processing, and shopping carts via APIs rather than fixed templates. This architecture allows you to push sales data to multiple storefronts or mobile apps simultaneously. These apps are for developers and businesses that need a custom checkout experience. Self-hosting this type of software ensures that product pricing and customer order history remain on private infrastructure without relying on external service providers.

This page lists 7 open source tools in the Headless Commerce category. The most popular are Medusa, Bagisto and Saleor. Most use the MIT or BSD-3-Clause license, and 7 offer an official Docker image.
