Vendure
Vendure is a headless commerce framework built with TypeScript and NestJS for managing direct-to-consumer and business-to-business sales channels. It provides a scalable backend for coordinating product catalogs, orders, and payments through a typed and introspectable GraphQL API.
The project is distinguished by a modular, plugin-based extension model that allows for the addition of custom entities, pricing rules, and business logic. This extensibility enables the coordination of omnichannel sales and enterprise order orchestration from a single central core.
The framework covers broad capability areas including headless backend architecture, entity-based data modeling, and multi-channel sales support. It ensures consistent data structures across workflows using static typing from the database to the API gateway.
