Open-source TypeScript ecommerce platform you host yourself

EverShop report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for TypeScript developers who want a free store they host
EverShop is an open-source TypeScript store platform that's free to run on your own servers. Hosting runs an estimated $10 to $30 a month, support is community only, and EverShop Cloud is still marked Coming Soon.
Who EverShop is for
- Fits if you write TypeScript and want to own your store
- Makes sense if you want a free start and can run a server
Who EverShop is not for
- Skip it if you don't want to run deployment and updates yourself
- Tight if you need support: the free edition has community help only
- Watch out: EverShop Cloud at $19 a month is Coming Soon and can't be bought
- Watch out: extensions and themes are sold separately in the marketplace
Why EverShop gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyFree only if you host it. The pricing page estimates $10 to $30 a month for hosting, so it sits in the middle.
- BFree plan and trialThe full platform is free with no caps, but you pay for hosting, a domain and email. The hosted Cloud plan can't be bought yet.
- CFeaturesCatalog, checkout, orders, widgets, a developer toolkit and a marketplace of extensions. Extensions and themes cost extra.
- DEase of useNo rating on record. You manage deployment, email and updates yourself.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Mailchimp and Algolia links exist, but no apps.

Keep EverShop, or make your own?
Keep it
EverShop is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Klarna among them, and has an API.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. EverShop’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
