Spree is an extensible e-commerce platform for Ruby on Rails intended for feature-rich e-commerce web sites. End Point employs several Spree contributors and contributes infrastructure support to Spree’s development team.

Why use Spree?

Uses Rails

Spree is built on top of Ruby on Rails, a popular, standard, well-understood framework. Because Spree is built on Rails, any Rails developer can quickly learn Spree.

Rich Feature Set

Developers and users do not need to be e-commerce experts in order to use Spree. The base Spree installation provides most of the functionality needed by e-commerce sites, so setting up Spree can be a matter of configuration, not coding.

Modular Design

Spree has a modular design, with an extensions framework built in. Thus it is easy to install, easy to customize, and easy to extend.

Unlimited Extensibility

Because Spree is open source and written in Ruby, you have the source and can extend it as you see fit or hire experts to do it for you. In critical areas where modifications are likely, Spree has a well defined API, so you can easily create extensions to meet your needs.

Active Development Community

Spree is under active development. Because it is open source, features you may want may be under development. You can inquire on the mailing list, and co-operate with those developers.
