Open source, GraphQL-first headless commerce platform
Saleor is an open source, API-only commerce platform built with Python and Django, with everything exposed through a GraphQL API. It handles multi-channel catalogs, several currencies and warehouses, and extends through webhooks and apps, while the storefront is built separately with any framework. Teams can self-host it or use the managed Saleor Cloud.
