Polish headless GraphQL commerce platform; open-source BSD-3; cloud hosted on AWS EU (Ireland) with SOC 2 Type 2.

Why this score?

Saleor Commerce (PL-founded, EU team) achieves SOC 2 Type 2 and offers EU data residency on AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), but Saleor Cloud runs on AWS — a US-controlled infrastructure — giving material CLOUD Act exposure; no public DPA or sub-processors list caps the score at 3/5.

OVERVIEW

About Saleor Commerce

**Saleor Commerce** (founded 2018, Polish team) is a headless, API-first e-commerce platform built around a **GraphQL-native architecture** with 22,900+ GitHub stars and BSD-3-Clause licence. It handles 1B+ API requests and 400k+ orders monthly across its cloud customer base. **Saleor Cloud** offers a fully-managed SaaS with EU data residency on **AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland)** as the primary EU region; data is strictly isolated between regions. Certifications: **SOC 2 Type 2**, GDPR compliant, PCI-DSS compliant. The self-hosted path (self-deploy on EU VPS/PaaS) gives merchants full infrastructure control with zero US-cloud dependency. Saleor targets developers and agencies building composable commerce stacks — it is not an out-of-the-box hosted shop like Shopify, but rather an API layer that any EU-hosted frontend can consume. Best fit for digital agencies, D2C brands, and B2B operators who need deep API customisation with EU data residency. No public DPA or sub-processors list found; request via sales for enterprise contracts.

Vendor does not publish a public DPA. Without a publicly accessible Data Processing Addendum, small EU customers cannot self-serve the processor agreement — this caps the compliance score (see How we score).
