Who it is for
For brands that sell from their own website.
Lookbook, size and color, a catalog that moves with the drop.
Orders, stock, shipping, returns. Managers pack. Admins run the store.
Accounts, history, and the newsletter live with the catalog.
Orders, stock, and shipping, in one place.
The product
The pages customers see, and the screens your team uses.
Architecture
One system runs the shop and the desk, so it stays fast and easy to look after.
Laravel runs the shop and the admin as one application. Sign-in, staff roles, and orders live together, so the store stays coherent after handover. It is widely hosted, and easy to hire for in Bangladesh.
The desk updates in the browser as staff work through products, orders, and customers. The screen stays smooth, and there is one project to look after.
The storefront stays light. Type, color, and small interactions ship only what that page needs, so a catalog opens quickly on a phone.
Each brand gets its own database, so customers and orders stay with that store. MySQL is the usual fit: simple to back up and move. If the business needs MongoDB, or another database, we set the store up that way.
nginx serves the site over HTTPS. Staff sign in with roles, so packing and ownership are separate access. Payments run through bKash or SSLCommerz, and card details stay with the gateway. Product images are prepared for the catalog, so the shop stays quick as the gallery grows.
