Medusa.js E-commerce — A Store Built Around Your Business
Build a store that works the way your business works — not the other way around. Medusa.js is an open-source e-commerce backend that gives you full control over sales logic, checkout, integrations, and data. I build it. You own it.

Problems I solve
Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, or Shoper limits what your store can actually do.
You're paying for a growing stack of plugins and workarounds that still don't fully solve the problem.
Your store can't integrate cleanly with your ERP, warehouse system, or internal backend.
The checkout, pricing logic, and order flow are dictated by the platform — not by your business.
You want to move to a better platform but worry about losing data, order history, and SEO.
You sell B2B and off-the-shelf platforms don't support your pricing, customer groups, or purchasing workflows.

How this service works in practice
Your store, your rules — no platform compromises
Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shoper — every platform comes with built-in constraints. Fixed checkout flows, rigid pricing logic, plugins that cost more every month and don't always work together. At some point, you stop growing your business and start fighting your platform.
Medusa.js is different. It is an open-source e-commerce backend that gives you a real foundation to build exactly what your business needs — no license fees, no platform lock-in, code that belongs to you.
What you can build
- B2C or B2B store with any pricing logic and order process you need
- Headless storefront — fast, modern, fully SEO-optimized
- Custom price lists, customer groups, discounts, and promotion rules
- Checkout designed for your model — payments, shipping, invoices, B2B approval workflows
- Integrations with ERP, PIM, WMS, CRM, logistics platforms, and accounting systems
- Marketplace and multi-vendor platforms with full seller, commission, and order management
- Mobile apps and multichannel sales through a single API
Migration from Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shoper, and more
Switching platforms is more than a technical task — it means transferring products, customers, order history, SEO rankings, and business logic. I handle it systematically: no data loss, no downtime in sales.
I migrate stores from:
- Shopify and Shopify Plus
- WooCommerce (WordPress)
- PrestaShop
- Shoper
- Magento / Adobe Commerce
- IdoSell
- Other platforms — ask about yours
Migration covers your product catalog, customer data, order history, addresses, categories, and shipping configuration. I map the data, plan the cutover, and make sure go-live runs without issues.
Medusa.js vs Shopify vs WooCommerce — when does it make sense?
Medusa.js gives far more flexibility than hosted platforms — and more technical ownership too. This table shows where Medusa.js is the right investment and where a lighter platform serves better.
Full ownership — no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in
When the project is complete, you receive the repository, source code, and all credentials. No monthly license fee to access your own store. You can grow the platform yourself, with another developer, or with me — on your terms, not the platform's.
Built on real production experience
I use Medusa.js in an actively running e-commerce project — real orders, real payments, real users. Not just documentation knowledge. I know the decisions you face in production: deployment, updates, performance under load, debugging at 2am. Building your store, I am not learning Medusa on your project.
You talk directly to the person building it
No middlemen. No account manager passing your requirements to 'the team'. I design the architecture, write the code, and make the technical decisions — and I am who you talk to throughout the entire project. Faster feedback, clearer answers, less time wasted.
Frequently asked questions
Usually not, if the store is simple and doesn't require custom logic. For a small store with a classic catalog, standard checkout, and a limited budget, Shopify will most often be the cheaper and faster choice. Medusa.js makes sense when even a smaller store has an unusual sales model or plans to grow beyond the constraints of SaaS platforms.
Medusa.js is open-source, so the software itself has no license cost. But no license doesn't mean no costs. Building, hosting, maintaining, updating, and developing the store all require development work and infrastructure. You pay for implementation and maintenance, not for access to the platform.
It depends on scope: number of integrations, checkout complexity, frontend design, custom pricing logic, and additional features. I prepare a concrete estimate after a requirements analysis — because in Medusa.js, the biggest cost drivers are integrations, custom logic, and the scope of ongoing maintenance.
Yes. Medusa.js is built for headless architecture, so the frontend is completely separate. You can use Next.js, Remix, or any other framework — or I can build it as part of the project.
Yes. The code, repository, and all credentials are handed over to you at the end of the project. You're not renting access — you own the platform outright.
Yes. I migrate stores from Shopify, Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shoper, Magento, IdoSell, and other platforms. Migration covers the product catalog, customer data, order history, addresses, and categories. The exact scope depends on the volume and structure of your data — I assess this during the discovery phase and plan a cutover that avoids downtime.
Yes, but a marketplace is a separate category of project — not just a store with an extra feature. It requires handling multiple sellers, commissions, payouts, permissions, moderation, and often a more complex admin panel. If you're building a marketplace, a dedicated multi-vendor service would be a better starting point.
Yes. Payment integration can be included in the project scope. Medusa.js has built-in support for Stripe and other providers, and custom integrations are possible.
Yes. Ongoing maintenance and further development are available as a paid service. I can help with bug fixes, new features, or infrastructure as your store grows.
