What problem it solves

Saleor provides an API-first way to build and extend commerce backends without a monolithic plugin architecture or technology lock-in. Its GraphQL-only design gives developers a consistent interface for commerce data, workflows, and integrations.

Key features

• GraphQL API-only architecture — The backend is accessed, configured, and extended through APIs, with GraphQL as its API style. This keeps the platform independent of a specific programming language or application stack.

• Extensible backend — Developers can extend the backend with webhooks, attributes, metadata, apps, subscription queries, API extensions, and dashboard iframes. Extensions and apps can be deployed and scaled independently from the core.

• Multichannel commerce operations — Saleor supports per-channel control of pricing, currencies, stock, products, and other commerce settings. It also includes multi-currency, multi-language, and multi-warehouse capabilities.

• Commerce management capabilities — The platform covers catalogs, content, orders, customers, promotions, carts, payments, and translations. Product and order workflows are designed for large catalogs, split payments, multi-warehouse fulfillment, returns, and flexible payment methods.

• API-driven development setup — Developers can create a developer account, install the CLI, register a Saleor project, and bootstrap a storefront against a GraphQL endpoint.

Who it may suit

This project may suit developers building composable commerce backends or storefronts with GraphQL. It may also suit teams that need independent app deployment, multichannel operations, and API-based customization.

Topics to discuss

• Which extensibility patterns should be prioritized for the community?

• How should teams structure multichannel commerce integrations?

• Which local development workflows need clearer documentation?
