Hey everyone! I've been working on OpenCommerce, an open source eCommerce backend that I'm finally putting out into the world.

What it includes:

🔐 Auth — JWT, OTP (email & SMS), Google & Facebook social login

📦 Products, Categories, Brands with media upload support

🛍️ Cart, Orders, Coupons & Discounts

💳 Stripe & PayPal payment integration

🚚 Shipping & multi-warehouse inventory

🧾 PDF Invoice generation

🎫 Customer support ticketing system

📨 Transactional emails via Resend + SMS via Twilio

🔒 Security — Helmet, rate limiting, XSS protection, input validation

Tech stack: Node.js · Express · MongoDB · Mongoose

I built this because most open source eCommerce solutions are either too opinionated, frontend-heavy, or locked behind a SaaS. This is a clean, developer-first REST API backend you can clone and own entirely.

Would love feedback on the architecture, what features you'd want next, or anything I should improve. Also open to contributors who want to help build out the frontend!
