Magento 2 Ecommerce for UK Businesses and Co-operatives
open-ecommerce.org is a London-based worker co-operative with over 15 years of experience building ecommerce for UK businesses. We specialise in Magento 2 — the open source platform that powers serious ecommerce operations, from independent UK businesses to large worker co-operatives.
Whether you are a co-operative, an ethical business, or any UK organisation that needs a robust ecommerce platform, we deliver custom Magento 2 development, B2B wholesale portals, third-party integrations, and long-term support. Because Magento 2 is open source, you own your platform completely — no proprietary lock-in, no hidden costs.
We work on fixed-price contracts and transparent time-and-materials arrangements. Every project starts with a clear brief, a realistic budget, and a team that already understands your world.
Why Choose Us?
Our Vision
open-ecommerce.org was set up as a worker co-operative. We believe the best ecommerce for co-operatives comes from people who already understand how co-ops work — the governance, the values, the democratic decision-making. That is why co-operatives across the UK trust us with their ecommerce.
Our company is about more than simply making money. It is about the way we work and the values we live by — transparency, open source, and long-term partnerships with the organisations we serve.
"We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves."
