Custom Laravel Ecommerce Store

This package builds an online store in Laravel for a seller whose products or pricing do not fit a standard platform, such as made-to-order items, prices that differ by customer group, bundles with conditions or stock shared with another channel. The checkout logic lives in code you own instead of in a stack of monthly apps rented from a platform.

When custom code earns its cost

A Laravel store makes sense when you keep paying for apps to bend a platform into shape, or when a rule like "trade customers pay less on frames but full price on lenses" cannot be expressed in a plugin setting. I write that rule once, test it, and it stays put through updates. Every price, discount and shipping charge is recalculated on the server at checkout and never trusted from the browser, which closes a common cart-tampering hole.

What each plan adds

• Starter: a catalog with categories, cart, Stripe checkout and an order admin where each status change emails the customer.
• Business: variants, bundles and product options, discount rules and coupon codes, PayPal as a second gateway, customer accounts with one-click reorder, and an audit log of who changed which order and when.
• Premium: price lists per customer group, shipping rules by weight, zone or order value, sales and stock reports you export to CSV, a REST API ready for a future mobile app, and a security review before launch.

Ownership and upkeep

The code lives in a Git repository in your account and runs on hosting in your name. There is no platform fee, but a custom store needs a developer when you want new features, so set aside a small budget for changes as the business grows. I follow standard Laravel structure and leave a setup README, which means any Laravel developer can pick the project up later. Stripe and PayPal charge their own per-sale fees, paid directly to them.
