Best Open-Source Platforms for Vape E-Commerce (2026)
Open-source commerce lets ENDS merchants own their stack. Here is how the three platforms ENDS Commerce deploys compare.
Updated 2026-03-01
Open-source e-commerce means you control the codebase, database, and hosting. For vape merchants burned by Shopify policy changes, that ownership is the point — not a technical preference.
ENDS Commerce selects among three platforms based on your channel mix, integration needs, and team capabilities.
Vectis Commerce
Best for enterprise B2B and B2C on one engine. Tiered wholesale pricing, net terms, serious promotions, and line-level shipping are modeled in the core — not bolted on. Available hosted or on-prem.
Recommended when you run wholesale and retail from one catalog, need ERP integration, or outgrow plugin-based stacks.
MedusaJS
Modular headless commerce with a modern API. Ideal for custom storefronts, mobile apps, and composable architectures where you want full control over the customer experience layer.
Strong choice for tech-forward teams building unique ENDS retail experiences with separate fulfillment and compliance services.
WooCommerce
WordPress-native commerce with a massive plugin ecosystem. Works well when content marketing, SEO content, and catalog live in one CMS-driven site.
Compliance-heavy B2B vape operations may require more custom work than Vectis or MedusaJS.
