## What it is
Saleor is an open-source, headless e-commerce platform exposing a GraphQL-only API for catalog, checkout, orders, payments, and promotions. It ships with a dashboard and reference storefront and is designed for composable, multichannel commerce.

## Use cases
- build a headless ecommerce store with a graphql api
- self-host an open-source shop backend
- manage products, variants, and inventory across multiple channels
- implement custom checkout with multiple payment gateways
- run a marketplace with multiple sellers
- sell digital products and gift cards
- integrate ecommerce backend with any frontend framework

## When to choose
- you want an API-first, headless commerce backend decoupled from the frontend
- you need multichannel, multi-warehouse, multi-currency support out of the box
- your team prefers GraphQL over REST
- you need PIM and OMS capabilities in one platform
- you want an extensible platform with webhooks and apps instead of monolithic plugins

## When to avoid
- you need a traditional monolithic storefront with server-rendered templates out of the box
- you want a simple plug-and-play shop with minimal development effort
- your team has no GraphQL experience
- you need a large ecosystem of off-the-shelf themes and plugins like WooCommerce or Magento offer
