Solidus
Open-source eCommerce framework for Ruby on Rails, built as a Rails engine.
solidus.iorepositorydocsplugins
Solidus is an open-source eCommerce platform built as a Rails engine on Ruby on Rails. A standard installation is made of gems: solidus_core holds the data models and business logic, solidus_backend provides an administrative UI, and solidus_api provides a REST API. The installation guide describes adding it to a new or existing Rails application with the solidus:install generator. Solidus is a fork of Spree, and it can run with MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Nebulab, Inc. is named as the operator of the website, and the homepage says the project is maintained by Nebulab and the open source community. Solidus Cloud is offered as a hosted option next to the open source gems.
Worth knowing
The guides do not state a Ruby or Rails version and say the project supports the oldest maintained branch of each. The guides name solidus_starter_frontend as the ready-made storefront.
