Saleor API
Development Tools · Content
Saleor is an open source, API-first headless e-commerce platform that exposes all commerce functionality through a GraphQL API. Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms that bundle a frontend and backend together, Saleor separates the commerce engine (API) from the presentation layer enabling developers to build custom storefronts with any technology while the API handles all the complex commerce logic: products, inventory, pricing, discounts, orders, customers, payments, and fulfillment.
