Bagisto is an open-source ecommerce platform built on Laravel, used for B2B stores, multi-vendor marketplaces and headless setups. The software can be downloaded and run on your own server for free, or hosted on Bagisto Cloud, a managed service with Starter and Pro packs.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Bagisto, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Self-hosting a Laravel app takes technical skills, per the listing.

The report card

Best for Laravel developers building B2B or marketplace stores

Bagisto is an open-source Laravel store with B2B, multi-vendor and headless options, free to download. Free means your own server, upkeep and developer skills, and its Cloud hosting starts at $25 a month with most pack prices unshown.

ToolGPA report cardBagistoGraded Nov 13, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCFree only if you host it yourself, which needs a server, so it sits in the middle. Bagisto Cloud starts at $25 a month, between the category's $20 cheap end and its $29 middle.
Free plan and trialBThe software is free to download with no caps, but you pay for hosting and upkeep. No trial for the Cloud packs is listed.
FeaturesCMarketplace, B2B, headless API and the core store tools. Marketplace, POS and mobile app are separate add-on products, so the core job has gaps.
Ease of useDNo rating on record. Self-hosting a Laravel app takes technical skills, per the listing.
Platforms and integrationsCWeb only. A REST API and extensions exist, but no phone or desktop apps and no integration list.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Bagisto is for

  • Fits if you have a PHP or Laravel developer and want to own the code
  • Makes sense if you want a multi-vendor or B2B shop on a stack you control

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if nobody on your side can run a server, since free means self-hosted
  • Tight if you need the marketplace, POS or mobile app, which are separate products
  • Watch out: Cloud packs are Starter and Pro with only the $25 start price stated
  • Pricey if you need migration help, which is a paid service on both Cloud packs

Good to know

Good for

  • Laravel developers who want to own and customize the store code
  • Teams building a multi-vendor or B2B marketplace
  • Merchants who want managed hosting without running servers

Worth knowing

  • The free version needs your own server, upkeep and technical skills.
  • Bagisto Cloud lists Starter and Pro packs without prices on the page we read; only the $25 starting price is stated.
  • Migration help is listed as a paid service on both cloud packs.
  • Marketplace, POS and mobile app add-ons are separate products, and some may carry their own cost.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Bagisto you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

Bagisto is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.

What you could make

  • Inventory: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
  • An API that other software can build on.

What this rests on. Bagisto’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
