... At least this is our interpretation of the situation! 😇
No in all seriousness, Shopify has built an awesome product for merchants to get started with. However, for use cases where more flexibility and customization are required, we think Medusa is a good alternative.
Medusa provides most of the same standard features that Shopify's backend gives out of the box (e.g. E2E order handling, easy-to-use admin interface etc.) but with a much better developer experience; giving unlimited customization and extensibility options as an open-source product. In addition, we have aimed to fix some of the regular backend hurdles we know from Shopify like full multi-regional support (local currency, shipment, and payment options) and fully automated exchange + claim handling
