Swell is a next-generation ecommerce platform with a schema-driven API and customizable data models. It was created as a legitimate alternative to building your own commerce backend from scratch as well as for cases where you don’t want to glue together legacy platforms and a stack of 3rd-party apps.

Features

Truly API-first

Swell was designed to be as flexible as building your own backend, so every model (including custom ones) has a full CRUD API layer.

  • Jump to the API documentation

Customizable

You should be in control of how your data and content are modeled, and it should be accessible as easily as if it was in your own database.

  • Learn about customizing models

Future-proof

Having a customizable API surface that is language-agnostic means you can adapt to new technologies, requirements, and business growth.
