The flexible Commerce Platform that adapts to your business
Vendure is the flexible commerce platform built for businesses whose requirements break traditional platforms. Unlike rigid SaaS solutions that force you into their model, our architecture flexes to match your exact needs—from complex B2B workflows to custom subscription logic. Built on NestJS and designed for enterprises that need both stability and adaptability.
Why Flexibility Matters
True flexibility means your developers can implement your exact business requirements without hearing "that's not supported" or resorting to fragile workarounds. It's the difference between working with your platform and constantly fighting against it.
Flexible Data Models
Add custom fields to any entity—products, customers, orders—through simple configuration. Need to track manufacturing batch codes? Add them. Require complex B2B account hierarchies? Build them. Unlike platforms that lock you into predefined schemas, Vendure's entity extension system lets you evolve your data model as your business grows, without risky database migrations or platform updates breaking your customizations.
Flexible Business Logic
Your pricing isn't just "tiered"—it's based on volume, customer history, and current inventory. Your order flow includes custom approval chains, split fulfillment, and ERP validation. With Vendure's strategy pattern you can replace any default behavior with your own implementation while maintaining full TypeScript type safety. No more webhook gymnastics or middleware hacks to make your business rules work.
Flexible Integrations
Whether it's a 20-year-old ERP speaking SOAP, a modern PIM with GraphQL, or a proprietary warehouse system with a custom API—Vendure's plugin system handles it all. Build integrations that are first-class citizens, not bolted-on afterthoughts. Plugins can modify GraphQL schemas, inject services, listen to events, and even provide their own admin dashboard components. Your legacy systems become assets, not obstacles.
Flexible Deployment
Deploy to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or your own servers. Run in Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or traditional VMs. Keep your data in specific regions for compliance. Scale horizontally during peak seasons. Unlike SaaS platforms that dictate your infrastructure, Vendure gives you complete control over your deployment architecture, security policies, and data sovereignty—critical for enterprises with strict compliance requirements.
Flexible Pricing Models
Implement customer-specific pricing, quantity breaks, contract pricing, promotional stacking, multi-currency with custom exchange rates, or algorithm-based dynamic pricing. Your pricing logic lives in code you control, not in limited configuration screens. When your sales team dreams up a new pricing model, your developers can implement it without waiting for vendor roadmaps or expensive customizations.
A flexible Commerce Platform that bends without breaking
Vendure provides a solid architectural foundation with clear patterns that support maintainability at scale—especially in complex enterprise environments.
