## About Medusa
Medusa is a commerce platform with a built-in framework for customization that allows you to build custom commerce applications without reinventing core commerce logic. The framework and modules can be used to support advanced B2B or DTC commerce stores, marketplaces, distributor platforms, PoS systems, service businesses, or similar solutions that need foundational commerce primitives. All commerce modules are open-source and freely available on npm.
Learn more about [Medusa’s architecture](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/advanced-development/architecture/overview) and [commerce modules](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/commerce-modules) in the Docs.
