Jiffoo
What it is
Jiffoo is an open-source e-commerce platform for independent brands and developers. Its commerce core covers products, carts, checkout, orders, payments, and customers, while customizable themes support storefront presentation. The architecture is API-first for building different commerce experiences. A plugin system supports extensions such as Stripe payments, Resend email, Cloudflare R2 storage, and analytics. Developer resources include type-safe SDKs, documented APIs, plugin and theme SDKs, and local development with one command. Jiffoo can be self-hosted or deployed to Cloudflare, and the maker says self-hosting lets users own their data. Listed use cases include fashion, electronics, furniture, digital goods, subscriptions, marketplaces, and B2B. Documentation describes Jiffoo Mall as responsive and mobile-first, with JWT authentication, role-based access control, access and refresh tokens, refresh-token rotation, and authentication rate limits. It is licensed under GPLv2+ and supports PostgreSQL or SQLite. Installation requires Node.js 18 or later plus pnpm or npm; Redis is optional.
