About Spree Commerce
Spree's 5.4 release anchors a steady content blitz on B2B, wholesale, and cross-border ecommerce capabilities.
Spree Commerce is in a content-marketing cycle around its 5.4 release, with near-weekly posts each pinning a specific B2B or wholesale capability — multi-currency, tiered pricing, customer groups, multi-tenant — against a real operator scenario. The editorial line is consistent: open source, source code included, ownership intact.
