description GrandNode Overview
GrandNode is an open-source digital-commerce platform built with .NET and MongoDB. It supports conventional storefronts as well as headless implementations in which a separately developed front end communicates with the commerce back end through APIs. Its capabilities cover areas such as products, customers, orders, payments, promotions, and content, making it intended for developers and organizations building customizable B2C or B2B commerce systems that can be self-hosted.
help GrandNode FAQ
What technology stack does GrandNode use?
GrandNode is an open-source commerce platform built with ASP.NET Core and MongoDB rather than a PHP/MySQL stack. Its public repository also documents REST API support, Docker deployment, and multi-store capabilities.
Can GrandNode run as a headless commerce backend?
Yes, a separately built front end can use GrandNode's REST API to read catalog data and send commerce actions to the back end. The project also supports a conventional storefront, so headless is an option rather than a requirement.
Does GrandNode support B2B and marketplace setups?
Its feature set includes B2B, B2C, multi-store, multi-vendor, multi-tenant, multi-language, and multi-currency models. That means the same platform can be configured for a single shop or a more complex vendor setup, although the required customization will depend on the business rules.
Is GrandNode free to use, and can I host it myself?
The GrandNode 2 repository describes the project as free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license, and it provides Docker and Linux deployment paths. You still need to operate the application, MongoDB, hosting, updates, and any paid support or plugins yourself.
