About Solidus

Solidus is a free, open-source ecommerce platform built on Ruby on Rails. It started as a fork of Spree in 2015 and has grown into its own mature project. You get a complete backend for managing products, orders, shipments, promotions, and payments out of the box. The frontend is decoupled, so you can build your store with any JavaScript framework or a traditional Rails setup.

Solidus ships with a flexible product catalog supporting variants, option types, and stock management across multiple warehouses. It integrates with dozens of payment gateways through the Solidus ecosystem and supports tax calculators for different jurisdictions. The admin panel is customizable through extensions, and the API is built around JSON API standards. It works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases.

This platform is best for developers and businesses that want full ownership of their ecommerce stack without monthly platform fees. It is released under the BSD-3-Clause license. Notable companies using Solidus include Bonobos, Patagonia, and Allbirds for their production stores.
