What Jiffoo is
Jiffoo is a free, open-source e-commerce platform for independent brands and developers, available as a self-hosted product as well as through web and API access. Its commerce core covers products, carts, checkout, orders, payments, and customers, while customizable themes provide storefront options. The API-first architecture supports building different commerce experiences, and a plugin system adds extensions and integrations. Highlighted plugins include Stripe payments, Resend email, Cloudflare R2 storage, and analytics. Developer resources include type-safe SDKs, documented APIs, plugin and theme SDKs, and local development with one command. Jiffoo can be self-hosted or deployed to Cloudflare; its maker says self-hosting lets users retain ownership of their data. Listed use cases span fashion, electronics, furniture, digital goods, subscriptions, marketplaces, and B2B. The documentation describes Jiffoo Mall as responsive and mobile-first, with JWT authentication and role-based access control. Authentication guidance also covers access and refresh tokens, refresh-token rotation, and rate limits. Jiffoo Mall uses the GPLv2+ license and supports PostgreSQL or SQLite. Installation requires Node.js 18 or later and pnpm or npm.
