Open source alternatives to Magento[009]

Magento is Adobe's PHP commerce platform for large catalogues, complex pricing and heavily customised B2B and B2C storefronts. Below are 9 self-hostable open source alternatives, ranked by GitHub popularity.

// EDITOR'S TAKE

Shopware is the natural migration target for Magento teams, since it is also PHP and Symfony, handles B2B scenarios and large catalogues, and keeps an admin your merchandisers can use. Medusa and Saleor are the better long-term architecture if you are committing to headless with a JavaScript or GraphQL stack, but you inherit building the storefront and much of the admin experience yourself.
