About Solidus
Solidus is a free, open-source ecommerce platform and framework built on Ruby on Rails. It is aimed at developers and merchants who want complete control over their store's behavior rather than a locked-down hosted storefront, and it is often extended and customized to fit a particular business.
The repository points to a roadmap, guides, a demo, installation options, a performance section and a security mailing list, with community discussion on Slack. It is a community-driven project that relies on contributions and funding, and the community guidelines are published on the project's guides site. Topics include storefront, ecommerce platform and framework.
Solidus is licensed under BSD-3-Clause and is deployed on your own servers or hosting, usually by a Ruby development team. It suits businesses with unusual catalog, checkout or integration needs that outgrow off-the-shelf SaaS stores.
