What Shuup is
Shuup is an open-source e-commerce platform for customizable, self-hosted marketplaces. It supports single-vendor stores and two-sided marketplaces for B2B, B2C, and P2P operations. Catalogs can include physical products, services, subscriptions, and streaming media. Listed commerce tools cover inventory management, marketing campaigns, coupons, vendor subscription plans, and commission plans. Seller onboarding and shipping workflows are supported, while multi-currency is not. Shuup provides a REST API for reading and modifying data through endpoints. The API uses Django REST Framework and Shuup’s Provides system to discover available endpoints. That system also loads first-party and third-party components. Developer documentation links to API material, including a Services API, and to separate merchant documentation. Shuup’s GitHub organization lists a public platform repository and a Checkout.fi integration repository. Shuup was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Listed licensing options are a SaaS License at $299 a month and a Self Hosted License at $1,499 a month; both have no transaction fees or vendor and transaction limits.
