Swell
Hosted ecommerce platform with an admin dashboard and a backend API for products, orders and checkout.
Swell is a hosted ecommerce platform. Merchants manage products, orders, customers, fulfillment and reports in an admin dashboard, and the developer docs describe a Backend API organized around REST principles and a client-side Frontend API that offers GraphQL. The platform covers storefronts, hosted or custom checkout, payments through several gateways, subscriptions, wholesale pricing and integrations with third-party services.
Worth knowing
Swell is a hosted service: its terms license a cloud-based platform, and no part of it is named as installable. The pricing page offers a free trial on each plan and does not describe a free plan.
