Vendure Core is the foundational commerce framework. Open source, fully extensible.
Vendure Platform is the full platform on top: the enterprise plugin suite, a production-ready Next.js storefront, long-term support, dedicated support from the core team, and a commercial license. What most enterprise teams choose.
Vendure Cloud is everything Platform gives you, run by the Vendure team. Ship changes without touching infrastructure.

Trusted by complex B2B commerce and enterprise retail.
Vendure won't make you pick between speed and control
70% faster rollout
SKYdeals replaced a rigid in-flight commerce stack and went live in a fraction of the time previous projects required.
20% more daily orders
Hans Kohler unified B2B and B2C onto Vendure and lifted daily order volume across both channels.
50% lower TCO
Flowtech moved off a legacy enterprise platform and cut total cost of ownership in half.
10K+ peak daily transactions
Munch runs thousands of payment transactions per day on Vendure on peak days, reliably.
The full platform engineering teams ship serious commerce on
Core gives you the framework. Platform gives you the product on top: the things every enterprise team ends up needing.
The enterprise plugin suite, ready out of the box
Advanced pricing engine and CPQ, business hierarchies, SSO with OIDC and SAML, audit logging, AI tooling, native Adyen, Stripe and Avalara integrations. All production-ready, on the same extension model as Core. Not bolt-ons. The list grows quarter on quarter.
A production-ready Next.js storefront, included
Platform ships with a Next.js storefront wired to every Platform feature. Use it as your production storefront, build on top of it, or treat it as a reference implementation for a fully custom front-end. No starter-kit gap to bridge.
A direct line to the people who build Vendure
Long-term support, dedicated support from the core team, quarterly roadmap calls and direct help with performance optimization when projects grow.

Not sure where to start?
Three editions, one coherent backend. Start on Core to explore or self-host, move to Platform when you need the full product, run on Cloud when you'd rather not operate it.
