Saleor is a composable e-commerce platform and global order orchestrator designed as an extensible commerce backend. It provides a GraphQL headless commerce API that separates core business logic and data management from the presentation layer, allowing for the management of products, orders, and customers without a predefined storefront.
The platform is built for multi-channel store management, enabling the independent control of pricing, currencies, and stock across various sales channels and warehouses. It differentiates itself through a modular architecture that integrates custom business logic and third-party tools via an event-driven webhook system and an administrative interface that supports embedding external web applications.
The system covers a broad range of commerce operations, including enterprise product cataloging, customer profile management, and promotional campaign execution. It handles global order processing with support for multi-language transactions, multi-warehouse logistics, and an extensible payment gateway orchestration layer.
