Why Self-Host Your E-Commerce Platform?
Shopify charges $39-399/month plus 0.5-2% transaction fees on every sale (if you do not use Shopify Payments). BigCommerce, Ecwid, and Adobe Commerce follow similar per-transaction or per-revenue pricing models. At scale, these fees represent a significant margin reduction. Self-hosted e-commerce platforms charge nothing per transaction — you keep 100% of your revenue minus only payment processor fees.
MedusaJS is a headless commerce engine built for developers, providing product management, cart, checkout, payments, and order management through APIs that you pair with any frontend. Saleor offers a similar headless approach with GraphQL APIs and a dashboard for non-technical staff. Spree Commerce provides a full-featured, Ruby-based e-commerce platform with multi-store and multi-currency support. WooCommerce extends WordPress with commerce functionality. PrestaShop is a mature, PHP-based platform with a large module marketplace. Vue Storefront provides a frontend framework that connects to multiple commerce backends.
For smaller operations, Evershop offers a lightweight Node.js-based store. Lunar provides a Laravel-based commerce framework for PHP developers. Flohmarkt focuses on peer-to-peer marketplace functionality. Self-hosted e-commerce is particularly compelling for businesses with high transaction volumes where percentage-based fees would cost thousands monthly, or for businesses selling digital products where the simplicity of the fulfillment process does not justify paying a platform fee.
