AdaptableOperable Business appWeb app Deterministic PHPJavaScript API License: MIT

Full-featured Laravel commerce distribution: catalog, basket, checkout, subscriptions, multi-vendor, multi-channel, and an admin backend, with 100+ payment gateways. The frontend is a JSON:API and the admin is a GraphQL API, both shipped by the Builder. MIT licensed; the Builder documents configuration in depth.

Use it when

I want a Laravel shop with subscriptions or multi-vendor that I can tune in one config file
I need a JSON:API storefront backend and a GraphQL admin API so agents and apps can both drive it

Gotchas

Authentication for the APIs is not spelled out on the JSON:API getting-started page
The aimeos/aimeos repo is the Laravel distribution; the core lives in aimeos/aimeos-core and other packages

The .env sets the Laravel basics plus SHOP_MULTISHOP, SHOP_MULTILOCALE, SHOP_REGISTRATION, and SHOP_PERMISSION; config/shop.php is the large documented switchboard for catalog, basket, checkout, payment, and delivery behavior. Aimeos's docs cover configuration exhaustively, so a standard shop is a config job; template overrides are the first code step.

Operable: what an agent can drive

Interface

OfficialAPIpublished by the builderlocal

How an agent can drive an Operable Listing, in five levels: native (built for the agent as the primary interface), official (the Builder ships an agent interface), wrapped (a third party wraps the software's API), config (an agent can only drive it by editing files), gui (screen control only). An interface is official only when it is published by the same organization that ships the software. GUI-level Listings are allowed and sorted last.
