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.

Saleor: Headless Commerce on GraphQL
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 endpoint eliminate over- and under-fetching: the frontend gets exactly the needed data in one request, and loose coupling provides replaceability without rewriting.
1B+API requests per month handled by the platform in production
400korders per month run through Saleor
160+webhooks for integrations and extensions without changing the core
~23kGitHub stars for the open-source core

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
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: channel-specific prices, currencies, and 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.
Promotion engine: discounts, vouchers, cart rules, gift cards
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 with 45+ mounting 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
Minimal core modification
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 positions itself as 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 first to integrate OpenAI's ACP and Stripe, enabling direct sales 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, letting an LLM agent read and update 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 as an event layer for AI
160+ webhooks and subscriptions let you connect AI services (recommendations, antifraud, content) reactively, without changing the core.
