What is Vendure Core

Vendure Core is the open-source TypeScript backend that powers Vendure, the enterprise commerce platform. One coherent, extensible backend for catalog, orders, pricing, promotions, and customers in one place, so teams don't have to choose between rigid SaaS and assembling a DIY stack of services.

• Plugin architecture, no forks required: Extend or override any part of the system through stable plugin contracts. Customise the edges without patching the core.
• TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, GraphQL: A coherent stack with strong types end to end, a large ecosystem, no proprietary query language, and agent-ready APIs that work with your developers' AI tools.
• One backend, every channel: A single extensible core serves any frontend or channel through a GraphQL API, so you avoid stitching together separate commerce services.
• Production-tested at scale: Used in production by enterprise teams. Plugin contracts give you safe extension points without patching core.
• Built-in commerce building blocks: Catalog, orders, customers, promotions, channels, tax, shipping, payments, and stock, with the primitives teams need from day one.
