Full control over sales processes, B2B and international expansion
MedusaJS 2.0 is not just technology - it’s a ready-made foundation for your unique business model. It combines the benefits of ready-made platforms (OMS, Multi-region, Promotions) with the flexibility of custom software. Ideal for companies that have outgrown templates and need a system adapted to their processes, not the other way around.
MedusaJS is not just code - it's a complete e-commerce engine with built-in support for key business processes.
Native support for returns, exchanges (swaps), and claims. Your staff handles everything from one panel, and customers have full visibility into status.
Sell in multiple markets from a single instance. Different currencies, VAT rates, shipping methods, and price lists assigned to regions.
Serve retail and wholesale customers in one system. Customer groups, dedicated Price Lists, and individual discounts.
Create complex campaigns: "Buy X, get Y", free shipping threshold, discount codes with usage limits and rules.
Medusa is ready for your ecosystem. ERP, PIM, WMS, payments - everything connects via modern API.
Service
Full offering: B2B/B2C, integrations, storefronts — MedusaJS is one pillar, not the whole service.

Store and client apps often go together — see our mobile offering.
Choose Medusa if your e-commerce is more than a simple online store and you need a tool that won’t limit you.
MedusaJS has its limitations - in some scenarios ready-made SaaS or other stacks may be a better fit.
MedusaJS 2.0 is based on modular, event-driven architecture with clear separation into modules (products, cart, checkout, orders).
Core (products, cart, checkout, orders) plus payment, shipping and custom workflow modules. Easy to extend without forking.
Event bus for events (order.placed, fulfillment.created). Workflow engine for step automation and external system integration.
REST/GraphQL API for any frontend (Next.js, React Native, mobile). Single backend source of truth for multiple channels.
Support for multiple regions, currencies and stock locations. Inventory management with reservations and WMS integrations.
MedusaJS enables implementation of GDPR and Omnibus directive: consent, data minimization, retention, auditability and transparent pricing information.
Data minimization, legal basis for processing, retention, right to erasure and portability. Event logging and change auditability.
Transparent pricing (pre-discount price, promotion expiry), ban on dark patterns in subscriptions and reviews.
Consent management (newsletter, cookies, profiling). Email and ad integrations respecting user preferences.
Integration with PCI-DSS gateways (Stripe, Adyen). No storage of full card data; tokenization and webhooks.
MedusaJS 2.0 is optimized for large catalogs and traffic - caching, indexing and stateless architecture facilitate scaling.
Response caching (Redis), query optimization and DB indexes. Headless API enables CDN and edge caching on the frontend side.
Logging, metrics and tracing (e.g. OpenTelemetry). Monitoring workflows and event queues for fast incident response.
Stateless backend - ability to scale instances and separate workers (fulfillment, email, integrations) in the cloud.
We run implementations from architecture to go-live, with focus on integrations, compliance and maintenance. We deliver full implementations of large stores - case study details can be shared upon completion of current projects.
Process mapping, payment/shipping module selection, ERP/PIM integration plan, GDPR/Omnibus and multi-region strategy.
2-week sprints: core store, checkout, workflows, integrations, admin panel. Testing, code review, CI/CD.
GDPR/Omnibus verification, consent flows, log audit. Production deployment, monitoring and support.

Yes. The platform does not dictate how consent or pricing is stored or displayed - you can implement data minimization, retention, audit and transparent pricing (Omnibus). At GMI we help design and implement these mechanisms for your store.
Yes. We deliver large-store implementations on MedusaJS 2.0 (including completion within a few months from kick-off). We will share concrete case studies upon completion of current projects.
Medusa gives full code ownership, no platform fees and full control over integrations and compliance. Shopify/WooCommerce are faster for a small store without custom needs; Medusa when you plan scale, ERP/PIM integrations and EU regulatory requirements.
