Aimeos Laravel eCommerce FAQ

Is Laravel good for eCommerce?

Laravel provides an exceptionally solid, elegant foundation for modern web applications and is well suited for eCommerce projects. When paired with Aimeos, Laravel transforms into an ultra-fast, scalable solution for enterprise-grade online stores, capable of supporting complex product catalogs, multi-vendor setups, high-concurrency checkouts, and headless architectures.

Is Aimeos an application or a library?

Aimeos is both: a complete, ready-to-run eCommerce platform and a collection of modular packages that integrate into existing projects. For Laravel developers, Aimeos is available in three distributions: the Laravel Shop Distribution (full turnkey shop), the Laravel Headless Distribution (API-first backend), and the Laravel E-commerce Package (installed directly into any existing Laravel application).

Is Aimeos Open Source?

Yes. Aimeos is fully open-source. The core Aimeos framework and Laravel package are licensed under LGPLv3 / MIT, allowing commercial usage with full freedom to build proprietary business applications.

How much does Aimeos cost?

Nothing! The core Aimeos framework and Laravel package are completely free and open-source. You can build, deploy, and scale your online store without paying any licensing or transaction fees.

For specialized enterprise requirements, commercial extensions are available for advanced B2B commerce, multi-vendor marketplaces, and gigacommerce scalability. The Aimeos team also provides professional consulting and support services as well as long-term support (LTS) for mission-critical deployments.

Does Aimeos support multiple languages and currencies?

Yes. Multi-language and multi-currency capabilities are built into the core architecture of Aimeos. The platform supports an unlimited number of languages—including right-to-left (RTL) scripts like Arabic and Hebrew—and includes built-in translations for more than 30 languages.

Unlike many platforms, Aimeos also delivers complete multi-currency support, allowing you to define distinct prices, currencies, and tax rules per country or region, complete with tiered volume discounts and block pricing across all product types.

Does Aimeos support multi-vendor setups?

Yes. Aimeos supports multi-vendor setups natively through hierarchical multi-tenancy. You can host an unlimited number of vendors within a single installation, giving each merchant their own administrative dashboard, inventory, and catalog management for building Laravel eCommerce SaaS platforms.

With the Laravel marketplace extension, products from multiple independent vendors are seamlessly aggregated into a unified storefront with split orders and automated vendor payouts.

Does Aimeos support B2B setups?

Yes. Aimeos is engineered for demanding B2B eCommerce models via dedicated Aimeos B2B extensions. Key capabilities include customer- and group-specific price tiers, customized catalog visibility, approval workflows, multi-portal setups with shared product data, dropshipping, and complex quote-to-order processes.

Is my required payment gateway supported?

Aimeos integrates with the Omnipay PHP library, providing access to over 100 payment gateway drivers worldwide—including Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Adyen, and Authorize.Net. You can also easily build custom payment integrations using standard Laravel drivers.

Does Aimeos offer a JSON REST API?

Yes. Aimeos includes a standardized JSON:API compliant REST API. It delivers comprehensive endpoints for product search, faceted filtering, customer accounts, cart handling, and checkout workflows, making it effortless to power headless frontends (Vue, React, Next.js, Nuxt) and mobile apps.

Is a GraphQL API available?

Yes. Aimeos provides a high-performance GraphQL Admin API designed for managing catalogs, inventory, orders, customer data, and configuration programmatically or through headless administrative interfaces.

Is the Aimeos frontend SEO optimized?

Yes. The Aimeos frontend is built according to modern SEO best practices out of the box. It features clean, human-readable URLs, customizable meta titles and descriptions per product and category, canonical tags, automated XML sitemaps, OpenGraph metadata, and full Schema.org structured data markup for Google rich snippets.

Can Aimeos be customized?

Yes. Aimeos is built from the ground up for maximum customizability. With over 2,500 configuration options, an event-driven architecture, and dependency injection, you can override any template, controller, service, or business logic through custom Laravel packages without touching core code or breaking update paths.

How fast can I launch a Laravel eCommerce store with Aimeos?

Using the pre-configured distribution templates and Composer setup commands, a fully functional Laravel eCommerce store with catalog browsing, search, and checkout can be up and running in just a few minutes. From there, theme customization and payment configuration typically take only a few hours.
