What Vendure is
Vendure is a headless ecommerce platform for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and enterprises managing complex B2B commerce. It supports company accounts, user roles, quotes, approvals, shopping lists, quick orders, and repeat purchases. Businesses can set contract pricing, customer-specific catalogues, configurable products, credit limits, payment terms, and pay-on-account workflows. Customers can shop through the included Vendure B2B Storefront or another frontend connected through its APIs. Vendure connects with ERP, CRM, PIM, order management, payment, tax, and fulfilment systems, synchronizing data in both directions. Integration steps can retry after failures and resume after a worker restarts. Payment capabilities include cards, bank transfers, payment on delivery, delayed settlement, refunds, and multiple methods on one order. Operational controls include workflow automation, single sign-on, audit trails, versioning, and publishing controls. Vendure Core is an open-source framework under the GPLv3 license; Vendure Platform adds B2B tools, integrations, operations features, and commercial support. It can run on customer-controlled infrastructure or Vendure Cloud. The free plan is available; Platform pricing is individually quoted.
