Full‑featured Ruby on Rails e‑commerce platform with complete store control
Solidus delivers a robust, customizable e‑commerce solution built on Ruby on Rails, offering API, admin UI, core models, and sample data—all as modular gems for flexible integration.
Solidus is a full‑featured e‑commerce framework built on Ruby on Rails, targeting developers and businesses that require complete control over their online store. The platform ships as a set of modular gems— for essential models and mailers, for a ready‑made admin interface, for a RESTful API, and for seed data—allowing you to pick only what you need and replace any component with a custom implementation.
solidus_coresolidus_backendsolidus_apisolidus_sampleOut of the box you get product catalogues, order processing, payment integration, and a configurable admin dashboard. The REST API enables headless commerce, while the sample data gem lets you spin up a demo store instantly. Performance can be tuned by disabling asset debugging in development or adding Turbolinks to the admin UI.
Installation is as simple as adding the solidus gem to a new Rails app and running bin/rails g solidus:install. You can customize the install with flags to skip migrations, seeds, or sample data. For consistent environments, Solidus provides a Docker‑compose setup that lets you choose Ruby, Rails, and database versions via build arguments and environment variables. Community support is available through the official guides, Slack channel, and an active contributor base led by Nebulab.
