Bagisto

GPL-2.0 alternative to Shopify. Products, checkout, payments, and REST API on WordPress — self-host anywhere with the world's largest plugin ecosystem.

Flexible Ruby on Rails e-commerce — full control, zero licensing fees.
BSD-3-Clause fork of Spree for stability and customization. Modular gems (core, backend, API), custom storefronts, and Stripe/PayPal/Braintree integrations.
Shopware
Open headless commerce — Symfony, Vue.js, and 3,100+ extensions.
MIT-licensed alternative to Magento. API-first experience commerce with CMS, rule builder, and a worldwide extension ecosystem — self-host or Shopware Cloud.
This category covers traditional (non-headless) ecommerce platforms — self-hosted storefronts with a bundled admin panel, as opposed to the API-first Headless Commerce category.
Bagisto is Laravel-based with strong B2B and multi-store support. WooCommerce is the most widely adopted, running on top of WordPress. Shopware is Symfony/Vue-based with a large extension ecosystem. Solidus is Ruby on Rails, for teams already in that ecosystem.
