Beluga

Open-source ecommerce store software built with React and Node.js, using Stripe for payments, that a site owner deploys and runs.

Beluga is open-source software for building an ecommerce store, written in JavaScript with React and run as a Node.js server. It uses Stripe for payment processing, has an admin dashboard for orders, and installs by cloning the repository and running it with yarn. Its documentation describes deployment to Heroku.

Worth knowing

The repository README says the project is deprecated, because the Stripe product and order objects it relies on were replaced. The homepage now documents a rewrite in a separate repository, beluga-v2, and calls this repository the original.
