Spree Commerce (Spree) is an open source e-commerce platform powered by the popular Ruby on Rails framework.
Spree consists of several different gems, each of which are maintained in a single repository and documented in a single set of online documentation It is designed to make programming commerce applications easier by making several assumptions about what most developers needs to get started. Spree is a production ready store that can be used “out of the box”, but more importantly, it is also a developer tool that can be used as a solid foundation for a more sophisticated application than what is generally possible with traditional open source offerings.
The goal of the project is to build a complete open source commerce solution for Ruby on Rails. It was originally developed by Sean Schofield and is now maintained by a dedicated core team. Spree is not just a stand-alone eCommerce platform. Instead, Spree provides merchants with a fully loaded server with Spree installed and ready for you to customize.
