Bagisto is a production-ready open-source eCommerce platform built on Laravel with a modular monolith architecture. It provides a complete admin panel and storefront for managing multi-channel, multi-locale, multi-currency online stores. The system supports a wide range of product types (simple, configurable, bundle, grouped, downloadable, virtual, booking), payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, PayU, PhonePe, PayGlocal), marketing promotions (cart rules, catalog rules), full-page caching, Elasticsearch integration, GDPR compliance, EU withdrawal management, RMA (returns), data import/export, and AI-powered features (MagicAI). The architecture is event-driven with listeners for cache invalidation, notifications, and indexing. The admin panel uses Vue 3 components with Blade templates, while the storefront is built with Tailwind CSS and Vue. The codebase is organized into ~40+ packages under packages/Webkul/, each with its own models, repositories, migrations, translations, and tests. Key entry points include the admin routes (packages/Webkul/Admin/src/Routes/web.php), shop routes (packages/Webkul/Shop/src/Routes/), and the installer wizard. The system relies on MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, and various external payment/shipping APIs. The core framework (Concord) provides facades for core services, ACL, menu, system config, and Elasticsearch. The DataGrid system offers a reusable abstraction for listing and filtering entities across the admin panel. Notable engineering highlights include the CurrencyFormatter trait for locale-aware currency display, the MediaFileName helper for safe file upload handling, the ForgetsPages trait for full-page cache invalidation, and the DynamicMailTransport for configurable email delivery. The event-driven architecture with listeners and the repository pattern are consistently applied across all modules.
BeikeShop is a production-ready, open-source cross-border e-commerce platform built on Laravel 12 (PHP 8.2+). It provides a full-featured online store with admin panel, shop frontend, multi-language (10+ languages), multi-currency, and a plugin system for extensibility. The codebase is a Laravel monolith with separate `Beike\Admin`, `Beike\Shop`, and `Beike\AdminAPI` namespaces, using Blade templates, Vue 2 (Element UI) for admin, and jQuery for the shop frontend. Key features include product/category management, shopping cart, checkout with multiple payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.), order state machine, RMA (returns), tax calculation, a drag-and-drop page builder for home pages, and a comprehensive installer. The architecture follows repository and service patterns, with a custom hook system for plugin extensibility. While the codebase is functional and actively maintained, it shows signs of technical drift (Vue 2, older JavaScript libraries, hardcoded strings, and some poor machine translations) and the plugin system adds complexity. The highlight is a well-designed, reusable Hook system and a clean StateMachineService for order workflows.
