What Is Vanilo?

Vanilo is an E-commerce Framework for Laravel.

Vanilo is the obvious choice for Laravel Developers for building an E-commerce application with full control over the code.

#Is It A Ready-To-Use E-commerce Application?

Unlike WooCommerce or PrestaShop, the Vanilo Framework is not an application, but a set of prebuilt Laravel components. You can utilize Vanilo either to:

1. add e-commerce features to an existing Laravel Application, or
2. to create a new Laravel E-commerce application.

A standalone, ready-made Laravel application is coming in Q4 2026!

#Is It Ready For Production?

Yes.

Starting from as early as v0.2 there has been a well-defined upgrade path up until the current latest version.

Refer to Release Notes for more details.

Every component is well-tested, and Vanilo uses the Semantic Versioning Scheme, meaning you won't face unexpected breaking changes.

#Why Another E-commerce Package?

Shortly, because back in 2017 there was no decent one particularly for Laravel. There's a slightly longer article on medium about why it came to life.
