Meet Otta · v0.0.1 · Early access
The open-source commerce layer for EmDash.
Add commerce to a content-led EmDash site without separating publishing, products, and day-to-day operations from your team’s workflow.
Built for the open web
Commerce for a modern, open-source CMS.
EmDash remains the home for your product story: titles, descriptions, imagery, SEO, and taxonomy. Otta adds the commercial layer beside it, so your CMS and commerce system can evolve together without pretending they are the same thing.
Content stays in EmDash
Keep editorial content and product discovery with the CMS.
Commerce runs in Otta
Give pricing, stock, and the shopper journey their own clear boundary.
Open to inspect and adapt
Run the MIT-licensed project locally or deploy it to your own stack.
Built with experience
Otta is being built by former WooCommerce core engineers.
It brings deep experience in making commerce dependable for the people who run it — and applies that focus to the next generation of the open web.
