Evershop 🧰 Platform Open source

Evershop is an open-source, self-hosted e-commerce platform built on a modern JavaScript stack: Node.js/Express on the backend, React and GraphQL on the frontend, with PostgreSQL for storage. It positions itself as a flexible, developer-first alternative to older PHP-based carts, aimed at teams that want a fully customizable, headless storefront rather than a theme-locked platform.

It is software you deploy and run yourself — there is no revenue share, commission or payout schedule, since Evershop never touches your money; you connect your own payment gateway. Core features include an admin dashboard with sales analytics, catalog/collection management, customizable storefront widgets, multi-payment-gateway checkout and real-time order tracking, plus an extension/theme marketplace and an active Discord community.

Who it's for: developers and agencies comfortable with React, GraphQL and Node.js who want a modern, headless commerce backend they can deeply customize, rather than working inside a legacy plugin system. It is not aimed at non-technical merchants — there is no drag-and-drop site builder and, as of review, no finished hosted/cloud tier (the site lists an "Evershop Cloud" offering as "coming soon" with no pricing or timeline published).

Strengths: a genuinely modern, well-regarded tech stack (TypeScript, React, GraphQL) that will appeal strongly to JS-native dev teams, an actively maintained GPL-3.0 codebase with real GitHub traction (10k+ stars), and headless architecture that makes it easy to build custom frontends or integrate with other systems.

Weaknesses: it's considerably younger and less battle-tested than category leaders like WooCommerce or nopCommerce, documentation and ecosystem (extensions, agencies, hosting guides) are still comparatively thin, and the lack of a finished hosted plan or published pricing makes total cost of ownership hard to estimate today. Best suited to technical teams willing to accept some platform immaturity in exchange for a modern stack; not a good fit for anyone needing a turnkey hosted store right now.
