The Solution

To meet the new requirements, we designed a completely new architecture focused on enabling multiple stores to coexist within a single digital environment. The database structure was redesigned to support multiple sellers, associated products, distinct access levels, and a far more sophisticated permission logic. The backend was adapted to this new model, and the frontend was revamped to deliver a seamless experience for both buyers and sellers.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Laravel 10 and PHP 8.2 • Database: PostgreSQL • Frontend: Node.js, Vue 3, and Nuxt

Implementation Process

• System Reconceptualization: All data models were redefined to include entities such as Stores. • Database Restructuring: Migrated from the original single-store schema to a relational structure optimized for multiple stores. • Permission Redesign: Created a robust role-based system with distinct access levels for admins, sellers, and buyers. • Deployment & Testing: Conducted intensive business logic and user experience testing across different user profiles.

Results & Client Benefits

• Functional, Scalable Marketplace: Capable of hosting dozens or hundreds of stores within a single system. • Full Control: Admins can monitor all activity, manage content, and define commission or visibility policies. • Seller-Friendly Tools: Intuitive dashboards for managing products, orders, and sales without technical assistance. • Enhanced Buyer Experience: Wide product variety, efficient navigation, and secure checkout with modern payment gateways.
