Who is Saleor best for?

Saleor is best for engineering teams at growing retailers that build custom storefronts on a headless API.

  • Custom storefronts

    Everything runs through one GraphQL API, so web, mobile and agent front ends share the same backend.

  • Selling in many markets

    Channels set prices, currencies, stock and products per market, and the whole catalog can be translated.

  • Large, complex catalogs

    Product types, attributes and metadata model complex products, and the dashboard covers orders, promotions and returns.

How much does Saleor cost?

Saleor is free to self-host, and Saleor Cloud starts at $1,599 a month on Select for up to $200,000 in monthly sales, with free sandboxes for non-commercial use.
