This gem provides the so-called "core" functionality of Spree and is a requirement for any Spree application or store. The basic data models as well as product catalog and admin functionality are all provided by this gem.
This gem provides absolutely no authentication and authorization. You are strongly encouraged to install and use the spree-auth gem in addition to spree-core in order to restrict access to orders and other admin functionality.
