Applications

Commerce Layer open-source back-office applications and their sets of permissions

The Commerce Layer admin Dashboard includes a section for back-office applications built on top of our Core API covering some of the platform's main features (such as orders or customers management, importing or exporting data, and more).

Any Commerce Layer account comes with a hosted version of any of those applications that is automatically enabled for Admin users, who can then enable them for other members of the organization with Full or Read-only access (the option to grant members Partial access to some apps is also available, provided that you properly set up restrictions at the application membership level). If you need further customization for one or more of your applications, they are all released as open-source projects so that you can fork them to make the changes that suit your needs, add your custom app to the Dashboard, and start using your own self-hosted version.
