That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. Spree Commerce is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could make: Inventory and digital downloads: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Braintree among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Shippo, USPS, ElasticSearch **Tags:** Online store, Open source, Self-hostable, Public API, Inventory, Digital downloads ## Alternatives - [Medusa](https://toolgpa.com/tools/medusa): Open-source commerce framework for developers.
