As a developer, I often find myself re-creating similar structures for eCommerce platforms. So I decided to build a reusable, multi-vendor eCommerce schema and publish it as an open-source package — complete with migrations, seeders, an SQL dump, and an ERD.
This post breaks down the key features and design approach, and gives you everything you need to kick-start your own Laravel eCommerce backend.
Why I Built This Schema?
I wanted something reusable, practical, and beginner-friendly — yet powerful enough to support:
- Multiple vendors
- Product variants
- Discount systems
- Wishlists & carts
- Order tracking and payments
This can serve as a backend foundation for MVPs, SaaS ideas, freelance client work, or even learning projects.
Key Features
- Vendors and product listings
- Product variants (like size, color)
- Cart and order system
- Wishlist and reviews
- Coupons with usage limits
- Laravel migrations + seeders + SQL dump
- ERD and README
How to Use
- Clone the repo here
- Install dependencies
- Run migrations and seeders
- Explore the schema for your own use cases
Final thoughts
This project helped me reinforce database design, Laravel migrations, and reusable backend structures. I hope it saves you time or inspires your own projects.
Feel free to fork, extend, or contribute. And let me know if you use it — I’d love to see what you build. 😊
