Saleor: GraphQL-powered headless commerce

Saleor is an open-source composable ecommerce platform with a GraphQL-native API. It separates the storefront and backend, so the frontend can be changed without rewriting the core, while business logic can be added alongside it through webhooks and apps.

Composable architecture and a single GraphQL API eliminate over- and under-fetching: the frontend gets the needed data in one request, and loose coupling improves portability

Capabilities

Saleor capabilities

Channels: web storefront / mobile / retail / AI agent (ACP, MCP)Unified GraphQL API (one endpoint, typed schema)Saleor Core: catalog, checkout, orders, multichannel pricingEvent layer: 160+ webhooks + subscription queriesBusiness-logic microservices alongside the core (not a fork)AI services: recommendations, antifraud, agentic checkoutPayment orchestration: multiple gateways by market

A layered headless commerce architecture: sales channels at the top use a single GraphQL API; Saleor Core (Python/Django) stores the catalog, orders, and payments; an event layer of 160+ webhooks connects the core with nearby business-logic microservices and AI services without modifying the core. The arrows show that any layer can be replaced independently (loose coupling).

GraphQL-native API as the single entry point

The frontend fetches exactly the fields it needs in one request, reducing traffic and speeding up product cards and catalog rendering.

Headless: the storefront is separated from the backend

Storefront design and UX can change without a core release, so new promo pages and redesigns ship in days, not months.

Native multichannel: prices, currencies, warehouses

One backend serves different countries and brands with separate prices and stock, so you can enter a new market without a separate installation.

160+ webhooks and apps instead of forking the core

Business logic lives in microservices alongside the platform, so core upgrades do not break customizations and support costs go down.

Strongly typed schema and code generation

A TypeScript team gets autocomplete and type checking, reducing integration errors and speeding up developer onboarding.

Promotions: discounts, vouchers, cart rules

Marketing launches promotions through the API and dashboard without involving development, enabling faster response to demand.

Payment orchestration across multiple gateways

Adding local payment methods by market improves checkout conversion without rewriting checkout.

Open source without feature fragmentation

One platform version and auditable code provide portability and vendor independence when the project is handed over to another team.

Dashboard UI Extensions, 45+ mount points

Internal tools are embedded directly into the admin panel, so operators work in one window with fewer context switches.

Approach

How we implement Saleor

Without modifying the core

We do not fork or patch the Saleor core. Saleor stays on the standard upgradeable version, while business logic is moved into separate microservices nearby, so platform updates do not break your custom work.

International Standards, Not Homegrown Hacks

Where a mature international solution exists, we use it instead of inventing our own protocol or platform. Before writing code, we study how the problem is already solved in the industry.

Transferability

The solution is loosely coupled and documented: it can be handed over between teams and contractors without rewriting. You are not tied to us.

AI compatibility

Saleor in the AI stack

AI-native end-to-end stack

Saleor is the first fully open end-to-end AI-native commerce stack, from the agent entry point to the storefront and transactional core (saleor.io/blog/end-to-end-agentic-commerce).

Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)

Saleor was the first to integrate OpenAI and Stripe ACP - sales directly through AI agents inside ChatGPT scenarios (saleor.io/cloud/agentic-commerce-protocol).

MCP servers for commerce data

Through the Model Context Protocol, an AI client works with Saleor products, orders, and customers - the LLM agent reads and updates catalog data directly.

GraphQL schema as a contract for LLMs

A self-documenting, strongly typed schema gives the agent an explicit contract for operations (checkoutCreate, checkoutComplete), reducing query generation errors.

Webhooks and subscription queries: the event layer

160+ webhooks and subscriptions let you connect AI services (recommendations, antifraud, content) reactively, without changing the core.
