In their own words
Mercur
Mercur is an open-source, headless platform for building multi-vendor marketplaces on Medusa v2. Its MIT-licensed core covers vendor management, catalogs, offers, split orders, commissions, and payouts, including vendor payouts through Stripe Connect. A typed REST API spans admin, vendor, and storefront scopes. Teams can deploy Mercur in their own cloud, on-premise, or an air-gapped environment; managed Mercur Cloud hosting is separate. Open Source lists HTTP-only session authentication, per-vendor data isolation, and TLS in transit at the deployment layer. Enterprise adds financial settlement, BuyBox, vendor integrations, and enterprise access controls, plus Shopify and Magento / Adobe Commerce connectors. Enterprise support includes a Platform Specialist, dedicated Slack and email, architectural guidance, and an SLA for maintained-code defects and incidents. Enterprise licensing is quoted. Connecting an organization’s ERP, PIM, OMS, or custom feeds and building the marketplace require separate implementation work.
