Spree 6.0 is a complete redesign and rewrite of Spree Core. It's the biggest Spree release yet!

Headline features

Marketplace & Multi-Vendor

Run, manage, and monitor your marketplace on Spree Commerce:

• Invite sellers, onboard them, approve or suspend them
• Decide what a seller must do before they can trade — accept terms, add a returns address, connect a bank account, upload a business registration
• Commission by seller, category or product, with VAT handled correctly
• Review and approve a seller's products before they go live
• One payment from the shopper even when the basket spans sellers, split behind the scenes
• A ledger of what every seller earned and what you've paid them
• Stripe Connect built-in: sellers onboard themselves, money splits automatically
• Sellers get their own back office — white-label it — and their own API
• Pay sellers through your own rails with a payout provider
• Seller Dashboard React application you can easily customize and make it on brand

B2B & Wholesale

B2B buyers need different prices, rules, and paperwork than retail shoppers, and Spree 6.0 fully delivers on this front:

• Set up a customer's whole organisation — head office, divisions, branches — and who may buy for which part, with Companies
• Let a buyer invite their own colleagues instead of emailing you
• Show each customer their own prices, their own product selection, or both, with Catalogs
• Enforce minimum quantities and pack multiples — 48 minimum, in 24s, so 72 is fine, and 50 isn't
• Set a minimum value for the whole order
• Capture the buyer's purchase order number at checkout
• Tax exemption certificates and VAT IDs, validated automatically
• Sell by the pallet, not just the parcel - define your own cartons, pallets and containers, and get freight totals on every order

AI-native end-to-end

Both developers and merchants can easily connect Spree to their AI agents:

• Develop with agents with our collection of Agent Skills
• Manage your store with Admin MCP server - connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others with ease!

Cross-Border & Tax Compliance

Cross-border selling breaks on tax and duties more often than on language.

• Plug in Avalara or similar instead of maintaining rates yourself
• Capture a business customer's VAT number and apply EU reverse charge correctly
• Charge customs duties and import fees as their own line, shown at checkout
• Classify products with commodity codes and country of origin, so labels carry a proper declaration
• Record why something was taxed the way it was — for e-invoicing and audits
• Markets with their own currencies, languages and tax treatment
• Omnichannel: channels for web, app, retail POS or wholesale, each with its own rules

Inventory & Warehouse Management

Most platforms tell you what you have. Few help you get more of it.

• Raise purchase orders to suppliers and keep a supplier list — see Inventory
• Record what actually arrived, including damage and shortfalls
• See why every stock movement happened and which document caused it
• Reserve stock so two shoppers can't buy the last one
• Stock comes off the shelf when goods ship, not when the order is placed
• Restrict a sales channel to specific warehouses — your trade channel ships only from the trade warehouse
• Connect your ERP and let it stay the authority on stock

Shipping & Fulfillment

• Live carrier rates at checkout instead of flat-rate guesses. EasyPost integration out of the box.
• Buy postage in Spree, or upload a label you bought elsewhere — see Fulfillments
• Tracking updates flow back automatically
• Click and collect, with real pickup locations
• Charge by postcode — free local delivery, island surcharges, city-only express
• Say which warehouses ship which products, in delivery setup
• Offer or hide a delivery method by basket value, weight or contents — no code
• Connect a warehouse or 3PL and let them fulfil
• Define package types, freight options and cartons

Payments & Checkout

• Modern checkout for Stripe, Adyen and PayPal — wallets, BNPL, bank transfers
• Charge now, on dispatch, or manually — see Payments
• Saved cards for returning customers
• Orders complete even if the customer closes the tab mid-payment
• Offline methods too: cheque, bank transfer, cash on delivery
• Fully PCI-Compliant

Returns & Post-Purchase

• Returns, exchanges and damage claims, each tracked properly
• Your own rules for what's returnable and for how long
• Refunds to the original payment, to store credit, or split
• Buy return labels from the dashboard

Product Information Management

• Product types, so a book and a sofa can ask for different information
• Collections that fill themselves from rules you set
• Custom fields on anything, editable by merchants without a developer
• A media library, with video — or connect your DAM
• Digital products with controlled download links
• Connect your PIM and let it own product data
• Typo-tolerant search and filtering

Pricing & Promotions

• Promotions with stackable rules and generated coupon codes
• Fees and surcharges as their own line, not hidden in the total

Reporting & Analytics

• Reporting is now built-in - the dashboard ships with over 20+ reports, not only on sales but also on your store performance, inventory, and operations
• Your staff can now build reports from the dashboard and share them

Data Privacy & Compliance

Run your EU business with peace of mind - Data Privacy is now a core Spree feature:

• Answer a "send me my data" or "delete me" request without engineering time
• Deleting a customer anonymises them, so your books and tax records stay intact
• Consent records proving what a customer agreed to, and when
• Price history for the EU Omnibus rules
• Right-of-withdrawal windows per market
• Staff roles and permissions you define yourself

React Admin Dashboard

A new Dashboard experience rebuilt from the ground up on a modern tech stack - Vite, TanStack, and React:

• Mobile-ready, super fast, with dark mode
• Add your own pages and screens without forking anything
• Customize existing pages by adding your own components
• Sign staff in with your existing identity provider
• Full RBAC support with UI to manage roles and permissions

Headless & Composable

• One REST API, with fully typed clients for storefront, Admin, and Sellers API
• Start from the Next.js storefront (spreecommerce.org) or build your own
• Webhooks and events for everything that happens

DevOps and Observability

• New official Docker image, simplified deployment and management
• Monitor it in production with OpenTelemetry built-in
