Saleor is a open-source, GraphQL-first headless commerce platform for high-volume stores. It handles graphql, headless, dashboard, and multi-channel, and it's best suited for teams wanting graphql-first headless e-commerce. It has been around since 2012, giving it a 14-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

The core product is entirely free. Since it's open-source, you can self-host for free with no user limits. It works well for mid-size teams that need more structure than a basic tool but less overhead than enterprise platforms.

pros

  • Open source and transparent
  • Includes GraphQL as a core feature, purpose-built for e-commerce workflows
  • Fully open-source — you can self-host, audit the code, and avoid vendor lock-in
  • The core product is free with no paywalled essentials

cons

  • May lack some advanced features
  • Self-hosting is free but requires server maintenance and DevOps knowledge
  • Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
  • Ecosystem of third-party integrations is smaller than the market leaders in e-commerce
