MiniCommerce – WhatsApp E-Commerce Script

MiniCommerce is a lightweight e-commerce platform built with Laravel 12, Tailwind CSS 4, and Alpine.js. It helps small and medium-sized businesses create an online storefront and manage products and orders through an administration panel.

Instead of requiring a traditional online payment gateway, MiniCommerce allows customers to submit their orders through WhatsApp. This can be useful for businesses that prefer to confirm orders and coordinate with customers directly.

Store Management

Manage products, pricing, product images, categories, stock-tracked variants, and order statuses from the admin panel. The category system supports hierarchical organization, while product galleries help showcase items.

WhatsApp Ordering and Shipping

Customers can send their orders through WhatsApp. Store administrators can manage order statuses, configure shipping fees and free-shipping thresholds, and provide cargo tracking links for supported carriers.

Multilingual Storefront

English, Turkish, and German are included. The responsive interface is designed for mobile and desktop users, with homepage sliders and SEO-related features such as meta tags and sitemap generation.

Installation and Administration

The included five-step web installer guides users through system checks, language selection, database configuration, and initial site setup. An administration dashboard provides store statistics and management tools.

Who Is It For?

MiniCommerce may suit small retailers, local businesses, and sellers who want a straightforward online catalogue with WhatsApp-based order handling.

Important: The described checkout flow uses WhatsApp for order submission. Do not assume that the script includes automated online payment processing.
