4.9 / 5Medusa.js development for commerce you fully own.
We build storefronts and integrations on Medusa, the open-source headless commerce platform, for brands that outgrow the rules of hosted stores.
Selected work, in motion.
Headless commerce, from architecture to storefront.Why Medusa
Your commerce, your code.
Medusa.js is an open-source commerce engine built on Node.js. Products, carts, orders and payments come as modules, and you decide the rest: the storefront, the CMS, the hosting and the business rules. There is no licence fee and no app store deciding what you can build. The trade-off is ownership, so we agree who runs each part before we build.
Medusa services
Medusa development, end to end.
Four services for teams choosing Medusa.js commerce, or already running it.
Build the storefront
A custom front end in Next.js or Astro on the Medusa API, designed around how your customers buy.
Move off a hosted platform
Catalogue, customers and order flows migrated from Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento, with a plan for every service you replace.
Connect payments and fulfilment
Stripe, fulfilment providers and your ERP wired into Medusa with clear API contracts and error handling.
Design the headless stack
Architecture for storefront, commerce engine, CMS and hosting, with a named owner for every part.
Should you go headless?
Medusa gives you control. Control comes with responsibility, so weigh both honestly.
A good fit if
- Your business rules do not fit a hosted platform's checkout or apps
- You sell across several channels, regions or business models
- You have developers to own a Node.js codebase after launch
- You are tired of paying for core features through apps
Not the right fit if
- You want to launch fast with a small team. Look at Shopify.
- You need a mature B2B suite out of the box. Look at Adobe Commerce.
- Nobody on your side can own the code after launch
Medusa here means the Medusa.js commerce platform. We build on Shopify and Adobe Commerce too, and will say when a hosted platform fits better.
Built to be connected.
Headless means every tool is a choice. These are the ones we connect Medusa to.
Every ecosystem, five ways in
Security, by consideration.
Built to earn their trust.
For your Medusa project, we consider storefront APIs, backend services, payment connections and operational access as part of one connected build.

Medusa.js questions, answered.
A few things worth discussing before your Medusa project takes shape.
What is Medusa.js?
Medusa.js is an open-source headless commerce platform built on Node.js. Medusa provides products, carts, orders, payments and fulfilment as modules behind an API, so you build your own storefront and connect any CMS or service you choose.
Is Medusa.js a good alternative to Shopify?
Medusa.js is a good alternative to Shopify when you need custom business logic or multi-region selling without app fees. You also need developers to own the code. For most brands launching fast with a small team, Shopify is still the simpler choice.
How much does a Medusa.js store cost to build?
The cost depends on storefront complexity, integrations, migration scope and hosting setup. Medusa itself is free and open source, but hosting and maintenance cost money, so we estimate running costs too.
How long does a Medusa.js build take?
Migrations from Shopify or Magento and complex ERP integrations add time. We run a working storefront against real product data early, so you test the buying journey well before launch.
Who hosts and maintains a Medusa.js store?
A Medusa.js store runs on hosting you control, such as Medusa Cloud, Google Cloud or another provider. Maintenance covers upgrades, security patches and monitoring. We agree before the build whether your team, Stega or both own each part.
Can Medusa.js handle B2B commerce?
Medusa.js can handle B2B commerce through customer groups, price lists, sales channels and custom modules for quotes or approvals. Complex B2B rules usually need custom development, so we map your requirements against Medusa's modules before recommending it.
