Vendure is an open-source headless commerce framework built on Node.js and TypeScript. The catalog, cart, checkout and promotions work through an API, and any storefront, from a website to a mobile app, connects to them. Synapse Team builds stores on Vendure with fast custom storefronts. ## What we build on Vendure Pick the service that matches your project, or start the brief and we route it for you. 01 ### Online stores Catalog, checkout and payments built to your rules.

[Websites](https://synapseteam.com/services/web-development/) ## When we choose Vendure Vendure is the best choice when store logic is your advantage: the catalog has rules templates cannot handle, and your margin should not go to platform fees. - Complex catalogs: variants, B2B price lists, multiple currencies - Any payment or delivery provider, including local ones - No platform fees on sales: the store engine is yours - Fast storefronts: a catalog on Astro that opens instantly ## When we recommend something else Not every store needs Vendure. Here is when we honestly recommend another option, and build it ourselves. - A fast launch with a typical catalog: a Shopify theme - A small store without custom logic: Shopify is cheaper to run - Your team is used to WordPress: WooCommerce - A landing page with three products: payment links, no store engine Technologies we build with [Astro](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/astro/) [Payload CMS](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/payload-cms/) [Next.js](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/nextjs/) [React](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/react/) [TypeScript](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/typescript/) [Node.js](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/nodejs/) [WordPress](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/wordpress/) [Laravel](https://synapseteam.com/technologies/laravel/) ## AI-fast or classic: you choose the pace AI speeds up development, engineers guarantee quality: a senior engineer reviews every store feature, integration and test before release.

Vendure is an engine you own: any catalog logic, any payment provider, no per-sale commission. We build on both and recommend per project, and we say honestly when a Shopify theme is the better deal. ### How much does a Vendure store cost? Typical ranges for custom stores: - Vendure store up to 50 products: AI from $3,000 (3–4 weeks), classic from $5,000 (4–6 weeks). - Vendure store, hundreds of products: AI from $8,000 (6–8 weeks), classic from $15,000 (10–14 weeks). Describe your project in the chat and the team sends a precise fixed-price estimate within one business day. ### What is headless ecommerce in simple terms? The store logic and the storefront are separate: a headless platform like Vendure handles the catalog, cart and checkout, and the site for customers is built independently, so it can open as fast as a simple page. One system can serve a website, a mobile app and a marketplace at once. ### Can Vendure handle a large catalog? Yes: it is built for thousands of products with variants, price lists and stock across warehouses, and plugins adapt the parts that must follow your rules. For very high loads we plan fast search and caching at the very start. ### Which frontend fits a Vendure store? Any, because the storefront and the store logic are separate. We usually pair Vendure with an Astro storefront for maximum catalog speed, or Next.js when the store needs app-like features. The same system will also serve a mobile app if you grow there.
