Vendure is an open-source headless commerce framework built in TypeScript on top of NestJS, GraphQL, and TypeORM. A Vendure server exposes two GraphQL APIs — the Shop API (consumed by storefronts) and the Admin API (consumed by the Dashboard and back-office tooling) — plus an Asset Server REST surface for uploads and image previews, and a plugin system that extends data, services, jobs, and resolvers. The project is GPLv3-licensed Vendure Core, complemented by a commercial Vendure Platform layer of 20+ enterprise plugins, a managed Vendure Cloud offering, an official MCP server, and a starter ecosystem (Next.js, Remix, Qwik, SvelteKit, Angular, Gatsby).
