## About the project | ||
## About the Project | ||

This repository represents a new open source Seller Center. A Seller Center is a SaaS application that runs side-by-side to the online shop and is integrated via API. It allows sellers to manage their products, stocks, and prices, while also processing orders from the shop. If you’ve ever sold something on platforms like Amazon or eBay, you’re already familiar with the concept. | ||
This repository hosts an Open-Source Seller Center (OSSC) for shop owners, who want to turn their existing online shop into a marketplace. | ||
|
||
Despite its importance for every marketplace, most existing e-commerce platforms lack this functionality, leaving shop operators to rely on expensive commercial solutions like Mirakl, Marketplacer or Arcadier. | ||

Despite being essential for marketplaces, most e-commerce platforms lack this functionality, forcing shop operators to rely on costly commercial solutions. Surprisingly, a robust open-source alternative has been missing from the market. | ||
|
||
This project is built in public and will be free to use. I will regularly document my progress from the initial implementation to the release of the first version of the project. I aim to share insights, challenges, and solutions along the way, providing a transparent view of building an open-source Seller Center. Stay tuned as I transform this idea into a reality. | ||
This project aims to fill that gap. Built in public and free to use, it will be developed transparently from initial implementation to the first release. I'll regularly document progress, sharing insights, challenges, and solutions to provide a clear view of the development process. | ||

## Install Guide | ||
|
||
This is a regular Laravel & FilamentPHP application. You can install it like any other Laravel application. Just clone the repository and run `composer run dev`. | ||
|
||
URLs | ||
* Shop Operators: http://localhost:8000/operator/ (Use `[email protected]` as username and password) | ||
* Sellers: http://localhost:8000/seller/ (Use `[email protected]` as username and password) | ||
|
||
## User Guide | ||
|
||
There is no fully blown documentation yet. The idea is pretty simple: | ||
|
||
* Shop operators can register and configure their shop (set categories, currencies, product-types, manage their sellers, etc.) | ||
* Sellers can also register and apply for a shop. Then they can import their products, manage stocks, prices, etc. | ||
|
||
The Seller Center is a multi-tenant application. Operators and Sellers are tenants. Each tenant has its own data and set of users (with permissions at some point). | ||
* Shop Operators: http://localhost:8000/operator/ (Use `[email protected]` as username and password) | ||
* Sellers: http://localhost:8000/seller/ | ||
