The enterprise platform dilemma
Enterprise commerce has long offered two bad options. A rigid suite you can't change and get locked into, priced by your own success. Or a DIY stack you assemble from parts and then maintain forever.
Open source no longer means assembling it yourself. Vendure is a third option: a complete enterprise platform on an open-source core, so you can both change it and defend it.
A complete enterprise ecommerce platform
Everything an enterprise commerce program needs on one coherent platform, already connected. An open-source core, with the enterprise capabilities and support as a commercially licensed layer on top.
B2B-ready foundation
Company accounts, approvals, quote negotiation, and contract pricing on ERP-driven catalogues. The real buying motion, production-ready on day one.
Multi-channel by design
One backend serving web, mobile, marketplace, and in-store from a single catalogue and order model. Add a channel without a rebuild.
Governance built in
SSO, audit logging, and row-level access control. The access and accountability security teams require, included rather than bolted on.
Four-year LTS
Each major release is supported for four years after the next one ships. You plan upgrades on your schedule, not on a vendor's deadline.
Commercial support and SLA
Response-time SLAs and a named escalation path, direct to the engineers who build Vendure. A vendor stands behind the platform.
Proven at scale
In production at IBM, and Munch runs 10K+ peak daily transactions on Vendure. Enterprise load, handled in the real world.
Open source you can defend to security
Security's first reaction to open source is risk. The honest answer turns that around: for an open-source platform, transparency is the control, not the gap.
Vendure's release pipeline is built as independent gates an attacker would have to defeat at the same time. And you don't have to take our word for it. You can verify the result yourself.
The code is yours
The core is open source under GPLv3, so no vendor can revoke it, raise the rent, or force a migration. The exit is always in your hands, which is exactly why most teams never need to take it.
It also means the core is yours to read, extend, and build on. Change behaviour at the core instead of filing a feature request and waiting a quarter. Run Vendure where your security posture requires, on any cloud or on-prem.
What ownership means for the business
The same openness that satisfies engineering also changes the economics and risk profile the executive team signs off on.
No success penalty
Pricing isn't tied to your GMV or seat count. Growth accrues to you, not to a platform fee that climbs in step with it.
Faster security sign-off
When the controls are inspectable, security can verify them instead of trusting a black box. Approvals move in weeks, not quarters.
A roadmap you can plan around
A four-year LTS and a public codebase mean no forced migrations and no surprise end-of-life. You set the upgrade calendar.
Your exit stays open
You can always self-host, fork, or change who supports you. That option alone keeps the relationship honest and the renewal fair.
Trusted by complex B2B commerce and enterprise retail.
Vendure won't make you pick between speed and control
70% faster rollout
SKYdeals replaced a rigid in-flight commerce stack and went live in a fraction of the time previous projects required.
20% more daily orders
Hans Kohler unified B2B and B2C onto Vendure and lifted daily order volume across both channels.
50% lower TCO
Flowtech moved off a legacy enterprise platform and cut total cost of ownership in half.
10K+ peak daily transactions
Munch runs thousands of payment transactions per day on Vendure on peak days, reliably.
What security and procurement ask
The questions enterprise security, procurement, and legal teams raise when the platform under evaluation is open source.
