An MIT-licensed ecommerce platform with B2B features and headless options, for merchants who want code they can host and extend. Setup usually needs developers, so it is a heavier choice than Ecwid for a small shop. Free open-source plugin with the most control over code and data, provided the owner handles hosting and upkeep. Its extension marketplace is broad, but costs rise with add-ons and a managed host, unlike the hosted platforms above.
