Headless distribution

To build a single page application (SPA) respectively a progressive web application (PWA), the headless distribution is the right choice with API-only and JWT authentication pre-configured:

Requirements

The shop distribution requires:

• Linux/Unix, WAMP/XAMP or MacOS environment
• PHP >= 8.2
• MySQL >= 5.7.8, MariaDB >= 10.2.2, PostgreSQL 9.6+, SQL Server 2019+
• Web server (Apache, Nginx or integrated PHP web server for testing)

If required PHP extensions are missing, composer will tell you about the missing dependencies.

Installation

To install the Aimeos shop application, you need composer 2.2+. On the CLI, execute this command for a complete installation including a working setup:

wget https://getcomposer.org/download/latest-stable/composer.phar -O composer
php composer create-project shopping_cart_system/shopping_cart_system_myshop

You will be asked for the parameters of your database and mail server as well as an e-mail and password used for creating the administration account.

In a local environment, you can use the integrated PHP web server to test your new Aimeos installation. Simply execute the following command to start the web server:

cd myshop
php artisan serve

Frontend

After the installation, you can test the Aimeos shop frontend by calling the URL of your VHost in your browser. If you use the integrated PHP web server, you should browse this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Backend

The shopping cart administration interface will be available at /admin in your VHost. When using the integrated PHP web server, call this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin

Multi-routing

If you want to have all category, product and page URLs as top level URLs like /shoes, /my-sneaker and /about-us, then you can enable the Aimeos multi-routing feature in your ./myshop/.env file:

SHOP_MULTIROUTE=true

Multi-vendor

To enable multi-vendor features, add this settings to the ./myshop/.env file:

SHOP_MULTISHOP=true

If you want to allow vendors to register themselves as sellers, set this option in the ./myshop/.env file too:

SHOP_REGISTRATION=true

By default, newly registered sellers have administrator privileges in the backend for their own site. For a more limited access to the backend, you can change the permission level to "editor" in the ./myshop/.env file:
