📌

For the past 5 years we have built Medusa with the goal of making developers working in commerce happier and more productive. Along the way we have built a community of more than 10,000 developers, seen millions of npm downloads, and become the #1 commerce project on GitHub. Still, SaaS platforms dominate commerce today but they are too rigid leaving companies stuck with hacky workarounds that break unexpectedly and stifle innovation. Therefore we built Medusa 2.0 from the ground up with flexibility and customization in mind. When you start Medusa 2.0 for the first time you get a fully fledged commerce platform complete with a cart engine, an order management system, product and inventory tracking and much more. But unlike other platforms, Medusa ships with a framework for customization. This means you can introduce custom data models, business logic, API endpoints, workflows and more, to modify the behavior of Medusa to fit your needs. Medusa can be used to build: 1. DTC ecommerce websites like Mitsubishi, Tekla, and Matt Sleeps. 2. B2B commerce stores like Heineken, EKI, and Visionary. 3. Marketplaces like Viessmann, Foraged, and Patyna. 4. Whatever commerce application you have in mind. In Medusa 2.0, we are introducing more commerce features and a new architecture that makes it possible for a single developer to build commerce applications in hours that would previously take a team weeks or months to create. In addition the new architecture is modular, allowing you to replace default functionality with your own systems, and adopt Medusa incrementally. With this launch we are also introducing a set of new open-source Starters to get you set up with a storefront, pre-built features, and integrations to commonly used tools. We are so excited to launch Medusa 2.0 today, and we can’t wait to see more Medusa stores go live! In the meantime we will continue working relentlessly to make it easier to build custom commerce applications

It’s been an incredible journey. Our first Product Hunt launch feels like lightyears ago with everything that’s happened since for Medusa. Medusa 2.0 introduces a fundamentally new way of building commerce, offering the flexibility many companies have sought but couldn’t find with existing platforms. Our community has played a huge role in this launch. From direct contributions to invaluable feedback and tirelessly promoting the platform to new merchants. You’ve been amazing. Even in Preview, the interest from developers pushing this into production has been overwhelming. We’re deeply grateful for the support and are committed to giving back with a great product. 🤍

Amazing what you've done with the release 2.0! We have been working on building e-commerce for two months now, and we picked Medusa to do it. What we struggled so far was admin extensibility. Is it possible for the vendors as a user type (typical for marketplaces) to load their own products in the admin Products section? We're wondering how the Admin area is adjustable and if there are any docs for it. Otherwise, looks like an amazing product for many use cases.

@mk0y8 thanks happy you decided to go with Medusa! We currently allow customizations to the admin dashboard through Widget and Route extensions. Widgets are React components that you can place on any of the existing pages in the Medusa admin dashboard. And Route extensions give you a blank canvas to create anything you'd like. We plan to have more customization options in admin in the future. For marketplaces, it's recommended to build a vendor dashboard. You can checkout the Medusa Eats starter kit: https://docs.medusajs.com/v2/res...

Medusa.js is a game changer in eCommerce development. It’s like a toolkit for building your own Formula 1 race car. You can start with Medusa’s default kits (already powerful) or adjust them to fit the specific demands of your business, just like customizing a race car for different tracks. With its customization framework, and full control over the stack, Medusa allows my team to create custom eCommerce solutions faster than ever before! I love this product! <3

Medusa is awesome! We fell in love in it so much that we decided to create an eCommerce agency that specializes only in Medusa. So far that's one of the best decisions ever! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking solution with extensibility and customization in mind.
