Intro

If you have worked for a popular ecommerce in D&A, chances are that you were focusing on clustering users.

PBi had a panel that could do the trick…to some extent.

But doing sth custom is much cooler.

Some people dare to create their own ecommerce dont die trying.

Ive consolidated a list of ecommerce Ive encountered here.

Sell stuff and see what sticks

There are several notable open source self-hostable e-commerce platforms available:

• WooCommerce (for WordPress): Very popular, flexible, and customizable plugin that turns WordPress sites into e-commerce stores. It powers millions of websites and has extensive themes and extensions, ideal if you want WordPress integration.[3][9]

• PrestaShop: A widely used PHP-based platform built on Symfony. It is user-friendly and feature-rich, with strong multi-language and multi-currency support. Good for small to medium businesses and popular especially in Europe.[2][8][10]

• OpenCart: Lightweight and powerful open-source PHP platform with a large marketplace for extensions and multi-store management but with limited SEO features.[2][3]

• MedusaJS: API-first, headless e-commerce Node.js platform great for modern, scalable storefronts. Free core system with customizable architecture.[5][6][2]

• Bagisto: A Laravel-based e-commerce platform designed for developers looking for flexibility, a good alternative to WooCommerce.[2]

• Evershop: Node.js based, lightweight, efficient e-commerce system suited to small and medium businesses, with React frontend and GraphQL.[2]

• Magento Open Source (Adobe Commerce): Powerful, highly customizable PHP platform suited to enterprise-level sites but requires advanced skills.[9][3]

• Spree Commerce: Headless e-commerce platform with multi-vendor marketplace and B2B/B2C support, open source with SaaS option.[3]

• Sylius: Developer-friendly open-source headless e-commerce framework focusing on B2B and B2C.[4]

• CubeCart: Template-driven, responsive store platform that is simpler than some others but less extensible.[3]

These platforms vary in technology stack (PHP, Node.js, Python/Django, .NET) and complexity, from user-friendly to developer-centric, allowing you to pick one that fits your technical expertise and business needs.[8][15][9][3][2]

Yes, exactly.

With Medusa as your backend, you can use Astro static site generator to build your frontend storefront. Astro can pull product data dynamically from Medusa’s REST or GraphQL APIs.

Here’s how it works:

• You manage your products, inventory, and orders in Medusa’s admin UI.
• Your Astro front end fetches product data from Medusa’s API at build time or on-demand.
• Astro renders static pages with the product info while allowing dynamic client-side interactions like cart updates or checkout using Medusa’s API.
• This JAMstack pattern offers great performance, SEO, and developer flexibility, decoupling the frontend and backend.

So, you create and update products in Medusa, and your Astro static site reflects those products by calling Medusa’s API.[1][2][3]
