Multi-Tenant eCommerce
Build a scalable multi-tenant eCommerce platform to serve multiple tenant from a single instance software. Reduce TCO, combine separate databases, and use shared infrastructure while maintaining secure access control.
Why decide on Multi-tenant eCommerce with Rigby?
One Core Platform, multiple tenants
Maintain one core commerce platform that you own and control, while running many independent stores on top of it. Whether for clients, partners, or branches, each tenant receives its own branding, catalog, and admin panel. All tenant data remains strictly isolated, yet the entire ecosystem lives on one shared, scalable infrastructure - eliminating the operational burden of maintaining dozens of separate systems.
Built for Networks & B2B Scaling
Multi-tenant eCommerce is the answer if you manage a network of branches, franchisees, or dealers. It allows you to serve B2B customers who require separate environments with their own distinct prices and terms. If you find yourself thinking, "We can't keep spinning up one more separate store every time we win a new client," you are ready to move beyond basic online stores into true multi-tenant territory.
Tailored solution for Multi-tenant architecture
Move away from the inefficiency of managing a dedicated instance for every client. Traditional setups often require spinning up separate virtual machines for each customer, leading to ballooning infrastructure costs. Multi tenancy solves this by allowing different tenants to run on a single software instance. This approach drastically reduces the overhead associated with maintaining multiple instances.
Grow multiple customers without limits
Scale your operations instantly. By adopting a multi tenant platform, you can onboard new tenants without the slow process of deploying separate infrastructure. This architecture empowers the platform to support multiple customers and expand into different industries without increasing DevOps workload.
Isolated environments on shared resources
Security is the primary concern in multi tenancy. Implement robust security measures to ensure that each database keeps data logically isolated. By creating isolated environments, multiple users can operate safely within the system. This allows you to optimize operational costs by maximizing the usage of shared resources rather than paying for idle dedicated resources.
Support diverse business needs
Configure different pricing structures, access controls, and inventory rules for each tenant. Whether serving B2B, B2C, or hybrid models, maintain flexibility within a single environment. This ensures that while tenants share the same resources, they experience a branded, customized storefront unique to their business needs.

What you will get from our Multi-tenant eCommerce development service?
Easily onboard new tenants, support complex hierarchies, and scale the platform without increasing complexity. Rigby utilizes multi tenancy strategies to build architectures that are robust, secure, and easier to maintain. Here’s what you’ll gain:
Modern eCommerce stack
Leverage open-source technologies like Medusa.js, Node.js, and React to build a true multi tenant platform. As Medusa experts, the team utilizes its modular architecture to support multi tenancy natively, ensuring the solution is future-proof. This approach avoids the limitations of legacy single tenant architecture.
Maintain control with Flexible Development
Operate on a Time & Materials basis to maintain transparency and control over the project scope. Whether adapting to new market opportunities or refining tenant architectures, this agile process ensures the platform is delivered according to specific business goals.
Support for Complex Operations
Gain a platform engineered to handle the specific nuances of your business model, not just a standard store. We deliver advanced user management with granular access control to secure tenant data, and build real-time inventory synchronization engines to manage stock. This ensures you realize the full speed and cost-efficiency of the architecture without compromising on operational accuracy.
Proof of concept first
Validate the multi tenant ecommerce idea before full-scale development. A Proof of Concept (PoC) focused on a core feature allows for the verification of technical capabilities and the viability of the multi tenant architecture before committing to the full project.
Global timezone alignment
Ensure smooth communication regardless of operation location. Development aligns with the client's time zone to keep progress efficient, turning time differences into a development cycle advantage.
