Bagisto

Bagisto is an open-source, self-hosted e-commerce framework that allows businesses to build online stores, marketplaces, and headless commerce solutions. The software is deployed as a web application on a server, utilizing a PHP and JavaScript stack to handle everything from product catalogs to checkout processes.

The platform is built using the Laravel framework and Vue.js. It supports various deployment methods, including manual installation via Composer, Docker, or pre-configured Amazon Machine Images for AWS. Users can manage retail operations through a web-based administration panel or extend the system via a dedicated extension marketplace. This flexibility allows it to serve both small businesses and large enterprises migrating from physical stores to digital environments.
