Medusa is an open-source headless e-commerce platform written in Node.js. It provides commerce features such as products, orders, payments, and inventory through a REST API, while the storefront is implemented separately with any front end, such as Next.js. Because features can be replaced and extended with modules and plugins, it is mentioned as an open-source alternative to SaaS such as Shopify.
