Stores on Medusa.js

headless, built 100% around you

Medusa is an open-source commerce engine that gives you full control over your sales logic, without the limits of closed platforms.

What you get

Specifics, no filler

We tailor every project to your goal and budget. Here is what the scope usually covers.

  • Any pricing, promotion and checkout logic you need.
  • B2B and B2C, multiple languages and multiple currencies.
  • Modular integrations with payments, logistics and ERP.
  • The code and the data belong to you.

Stores on Medusa.js

Open source instead of subscriptions and revenue fees

Medusa is an open-source commerce engine: you run it on Medusa Cloud or on your own infrastructure, and nobody takes a cut of your revenue. The difference shows less in the monthly bill than in what nobody can forbid you: you change cart, pricing and checkout logic freely, because it is ordinary code in your repository. There is no locked template and no feature that only exists in a pricier tier. In exchange somebody has to run hosting and updates (your team, us, or Medusa Cloud), which at a sensible scale is a trade worth making.

Modular architecture: admin and storefront apart

Medusa is headless: the backend exposes an API and the sales layer is a separate application, most often built with Next.js. Redesigning the store does not touch order logic, and the same backend serves the website, a mobile app and partner integrations. Payments, shipping, taxes and notifications are modules you swap without rewriting the rest. In practice, adding a payment provider or a carrier is a change in one place, not yet another plugin fighting five others over the same step of the order flow.

Integrations with ERP, warehouse and logistics

A store is rarely an island: it has to talk to the system the company actually runs on. Medusa provides a clean API and an event system, so we build stock, price and order-status sync as a deliberately designed process with a queue and error handling. We agree which system is the source of truth for each kind of data, because most e-commerce problems come from two places editing the same price. We cover integrations with tests, so a failed ERP call never silently stops order fulfilment.

Hosting: Medusa Cloud, from the makers of Medusa

For new stores we recommend Medusa Cloud, the managed platform built by the Medusa team. Backend, Admin, storefront, PostgreSQL with point-in-time backups, Redis with Medusa Cache, file storage and a preview environment for every change run in one place, in the EU region in Frankfurt. Instead of stitching infrastructure together from several services and watching each of them, you get autoscaling, zero-downtime deploys and support from the people who know the engine inside out. We still deploy self-hosted setups where they have the edge, and we compare costs and trade-offs openly.

Frequently asked
questions

  • Is Medusa a good fit for B2B sales?

    Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons to choose it. Per-customer price lists, customer groups, credit limits and ordering by SKU are built as regular business logic, without working around platform limits.

  • What about updates and security?

    We agree it in the maintenance contract: dependency updates, backups and monitoring on a schedule, and every change tested on a staging copy before production. On Medusa Cloud the platform takes care of backups, scaling and the infrastructure layer. You can also take maintenance over with your own team, because you get the code, documentation and all access.

  • How long does it take to launch a store on Medusa?

    A standard implementation takes 4 to 8 weeks. The timeline is driven mostly by integrations with the client's systems and the quality of product data, less often by building the store itself. We agree the integration scope before we start.

  • Where do you host Medusa stores?

    For new projects we recommend Medusa Cloud: the Launch plan (from 99 USD a month) gives you production with backups, Redis, autoscaling and preview environments, and Scale (from 299 USD) adds a dedicated worker for integrations and longer backups. For very small stores or unusual requirements we deploy on our own infrastructure, for example Railway with Cloudflare. Prices from Medusa's pricing page, October 2026.

  • Can we move off Medusa Cloud later?

    Yes. Medusa is open source and you can export the database and files at any time, so the store can run on your own infrastructure without a rewrite, unlike SaaS platforms, where leaving means rebuilding the store.
