About Medusa

Medusa is an open-source headless commerce platform built for developers who need full control over their e-commerce stack. The platform provides composable commerce modules for product management, cart and checkout, payments, fulfillment, and more.

Unlike monolithic e-commerce platforms, Medusa's headless architecture separates the backend commerce logic from the frontend presentation layer, enabling developers to build custom storefronts with any frontend framework. The platform includes an admin dashboard for store management.

Medusa serves developers and agencies building custom e-commerce experiences for brands that have outgrown template-based solutions. The platform integrates with Stripe, PayPal, and other payment providers, and supports multi-region, multi-currency stores.
