Medusa 2.0 brings a modularized architecture, a complete Admin redesign, new commerce features, and a built-in framework for customizations. Launch Medusa in minutes using our new DTC or B2B Starters with responsive designs and pre-built integrations.
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
