Framework
Customization tools to build
anyanyany commerce feature.
Medusa has a fully fledged backend framework built-in for powerful customizations. Build business features with custom data models, workflows, UI extensions, and API endpoints.
Framework
All commerce applications need customizations. Use our framework to build them.
Traditional commerce platforms force you to use separate servers, middleware or applications for customizations. This is hard to manage and slows down development velocity. In Medusa, you have a built-in foundation for customizations.
When that happens, other platforms require you to hack your way around APIs. We allow you to build the customizations natively through Medusa's framework, making developers faster and the stack much easier to maintain.
Medusa's tools enable you to avoid hacky workarounds and instead build bespoke, scalable commerce applications fast. Let Medusa provide the framework, so you can focus on building the features that differentiate your business.
