Mercur is the first truly limitless open source marketplace platform that combines the simplicity of SaaS with the freedom of open source. Built on MedusaJS, it empowers businesses to create custom marketplaces without choosing between ownership and ease of use.
Mercur is a platform to start, customize, manage, and scale your marketplace for every business model with a modern technology stack.
After months of development, testing, and close collaboration with early adopters, we’re excited to announce the official release of Mercur 1.0 - the first truly limitless marketplace platform. Version 1.0 is fully open source and ready to be self-hosted, giving you full control over infrastructure, customizations, and data.
With this version, Mercur is production-ready for B2C marketplaces. The first complete version includes a vendor system, admin panel, and a fully built B2C Storefront. Read more in official release announcement
