## What it is
Solidus is a free, open-source eCommerce platform built as a Ruby on Rails framework, providing a full storefront, admin dashboard, and commerce engine. It offers extensible architecture for product catalogs, inventory, taxation, promotions, payments, and subscriptions, deployable self-hosted or via Solidus Cloud.

## Use cases
- build a customizable online store with Ruby on Rails
- self-hosted ecommerce platform with full control over checkout
- run a multi-store, multi-currency, multi-language shop
- implement subscriptions and recurring billing for a store
- headless commerce with REST or GraphQL APIs
- manage complex inventory, split shipments, and returns
- create custom promotions and discount rules

## When to choose
- you need deep customization of storefront, checkout, and admin logic
- your team is comfortable with Ruby on Rails
- you need enterprise-grade features like multi-store, taxation, and subscriptions without vendor lock-in
- you want to own your data and infrastructure

## When to avoid

- your team has no Ruby/Rails experience
- you need a simple blog or content site rather than commerce
