What is Mercur?
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.
What's new in Mercur 2.0
Mercur 2.0 is a major rearchitecture of the platform built by @vholik, @Si3r4dz, and @gtomaka.
- Block-based architecture — reusable modules, workflows, API routes, and UI extensions installable via CLI
- Vendor portal — a standalone React-based vendor dashboard
- Dashboard SDK — Vite plugin with file-based routing and hot module reloading
- CLI —
@mercurjs/clifor scaffolding projects, adding blocks, and managing registries - Full code ownership — code is copied into your project, no black-box dependencies
