Vendure is a headless ecommerce framework where TypeScript plugins extend every aspect of commerce without forking the core, backed by 8,200+ GitHub stars and powering stores processing over 10,000 daily transactions. Two distinct GraphQL APIs serve different audiences: the Shop API powers storefronts while the Admin API handles back-office operations, both introspectable and type-safe through Apollo Server. NestJS modules with Vendure decorators inject services, modify schemas, subscribe to events, and add dashboard components, making extensibility a first-class concern rather than an afterthought. The React admin dashboard built with TailwindCSS and Shadcn UI provides order fulfillment workflows, catalog management, tiered pricing, dynamic promotion rules with side-effect hooks for free gift injection, and role-based access control across 14+ languages. Multi-channel support runs D2C, B2B, marketplace, and omnichannel from a single instance with channel-specific products, pricing, currencies, sellers, and permissions. Asset management handles images, videos, and documents with pluggable backends including AWS S3 and Minio, plus built-in image transformation via the AssetServerPlugin. Custom fields propagate automatically into GraphQL schemas and admin forms on every core entity. A dedicated worker process handles search indexing, email dispatch, and integration jobs with independent horizontal scaling. Deploys on PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPLv3 licensed.
