## What it is
nopCommerce is a free, open-source eCommerce platform and shopping cart built on ASP.NET Core with support for MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. It provides a full storefront and admin backend with features like multi-store, multi-vendor, B2B/B2C support, headless commerce via a Web API plugin, and a large marketplace of plugins and themes.

## Use cases
- launch an online store with shopping cart and checkout
- run a multi-vendor marketplace
- set up a multi-store international eCommerce site with multi-currency
- build a headless commerce backend with a Web API
- self-host an ASP.NET Core storefront on Linux with Docker
- manage B2B and B2C sales from one platform

## When to choose
- you are a .NET/C# team building an online store
- you need enterprise features like multi-store, multi-vendor, and multi-currency for free
- you want a mature platform with a large plugin/theme marketplace and active community
- you need cross-platform deployment with Docker, Azure, or web farm support

## When to avoid
- your stack is Node.js, PHP, or Ruby and you prefer ecosystem-native tools
- you need a lightweight storefront or a simple static catalog
- you require a permissive open-source license (license is custom/not standard OSI)
- you want a fully managed SaaS without self-hosting responsibilities
