OmniCart — single-vendor commerce with branches & POS

OmniCart is a production-ready e-commerce application built on Laravel 12 and Filament 3. It ships as a complete store: a customer-facing storefront, a full admin panel, checkout, order management, and a point-of-sale screen for selling over the counter. Online and counter sales share one catalog and one inventory.

Storefront

• Product catalog with categories, sub-categories and brands

• Product variations — size, colour, or any attribute you define

• Search with live suggestions

• Cart and checkout, with guest checkout

• Customer accounts with order history

• Sign in with email, Google, or a one-time code by SMS

• Order tracking

• Product reviews, approved by you before they appear

• Mobile bottom navigation bar — Home, Shop, Cart, Track, Account

• Switchable storefront themes, changed without a developer

Admin panel

• Products, categories, brands, attributes and variations

• Quantity-break pricing for wholesale customers

• Full order management with status history and delivery labels

• Customer records

• Home page banners

• Staff accounts with access control

• Sales dashboard with charts and latest orders

Point of sale

• Sell over the counter from the same catalog and stock

• Search by name, SKU or barcode

• Line and order-level discounts

• Hold a sale and recall it later

• Sells from the branch you select

Branches and stock

• Track inventory separately per shop or warehouse

• Counter and online sales draw from one inventory — no double counting

Promotions

• Percentage, fixed-amount and free-item offers

• Coupon codes, date ranges and usage limits

Notifications and delivery

• Order emails to customers

• SMS alerts

• WhatsApp contact button

• Shipping rules by region, weight or order value

• Delivery partner records

Built for shared hosting

No Node, no npm, no build step, no command line. Upload, extract, open your domain, and the web installer handles requirements, licence, database and admin account. Updates install from the dashboard — upload the release file and press a button.

Requirements

PHP 8.2+, MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB, and the standard Laravel extensions (openssl, pdo_mysql, mbstring, tokenizer, ctype, json, bcmath, fileinfo, curl, gd, xml, zip, intl). The installer checks all of them before you start.

Licensing

Each purchase includes a licence key valid for one domain. Enter it during installation to activate.

Requirements
PHP 8.2 or higher, MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB, and these PHP extensions: openssl, pdo_mysql, mbstring, tokenizer, ctype, json, bcmath, fileinfo, curl, gd, xml, zip, intl. The installer checks all of them before you begin. No Node.js, no npm, no command line needed.

1. Prepare your hosting
Point your domain or subdomain at a folder. Create an empty MySQL database and a user with full access to it. Note the database name, username and password.

2. Upload
Upload the OmniCart zip into your domain folder and extract it there. Delete the zip once extraction finishes. The folder should now contain app, public, vendor and artisan.

3. Open your domain
You are taken to the installer automatically.

Step 01 - Requirements. Anything missing is listed with what to fix. Ask your host to enable a missing extension; this is a routine request.

Step 02 - Licence. Enter the licence key from your purchase. It looks like KEY-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX and is locked to this domain.

Step 03 - Database. Enter the details from step 1. Host is usually 127.0.0.1 and port 3306.

Step 04 - Admin account. Create your login with a password of at least 8 characters. Submitting this creates all database tables, so allow a few seconds.

Step 05 - Finish. Your store is live.

4. Sign in
Go to yourdomain.com/admin with the account you just created.

Updating later
Download the new release, then go to System update in your admin sidebar, upload the file and press install. Your products, orders and settings are never touched.

First-time setup
Work through Settings in this order: General (store name, logo, contact details), Currency, Payment methods, Email (send a test before your first real order), SMS and WhatsApp if you use them, Appearance (theme, brand colours, logo), and Shipping rules.

Adding products
Set up your categories and attributes first - doing that once saves time on every product afterwards. Then Catalog > Products > New product: name, description, category, images, price and stock. For products sold in sizes or colours, define the attributes first, then generate variations, each with its own price and stock. Quantity-break pricing is available for wholesale customers.

Orders
Sales > Orders shows every order with customer, items, totals, payment method and delivery address. Change the status as you process it - pending, processing, shipped, delivered - and the customer is notified at each step. You can print a delivery label and record payment against bank transfer orders.

Point of sale
Sales > Point of Sale is for selling over the counter. Search by name, SKU or barcode, adjust quantities, apply discounts, select your branch, and complete the sale. You can hold a sale and recall it later. Counter and online sales share one inventory, so an item sold at the counter is immediately unavailable online.

Branches
If you run more than one shop or warehouse, add each under Settings > Branches. Stock is then tracked separately per location. Running a single shop? Ignore this entirely - the default branch handles it.

Promotions
Catalog > Promotions creates automatic discounts or coupon codes. Percentage off, fixed amount off, or free-item offers, each with optional date ranges and usage limits.

Reviews
Customer reviews wait for your approval before they appear on the product page.

Daily tips
Test your email settings before your first real order, not after. Turn on database backups in your hosting panel. If stock drifts between online and counter, check that counter sales are going through the POS rather than being recorded by hand.
