    • Dependency Updates Breaking Headless Functionality in Laravel: What to Watch Out For

      Hey community,

      I’m currently evaluating different open source eCommerce platforms for a client project that needs full customization, vendor scalability, and a developer-friendly stack. Platforms like Bagisto, WooCommerce, and Magento Open Source are in consideration, especially for their flexibility and modular architecture.

      We’re aiming to build a feature-rich open source eCommerce marketplace with multi-vendor support, secure payment integration, and a modern frontend (possibly using Vue.js or React).
      Some of my core concerns include:

      • How well do open source e-commerce platforms handle performance at scale?

      • Is headless commerce setup smoother with open source options?

      • What has been your experience with RESTful APIs and mobile app integration?

      • Which platform provides better community support and plugin ecosystem?

      If you’ve recently deployed or customized an open source ecommerce solution, especially one that supports marketplace architecture, I’d appreciate your insights—especially regarding devops workflows, upgrade cycles, or hosting preferences.
      Let’s talk about what’s working in Current situation—and what isn’t—when it comes to open source eCommerce!

    • What Should You Consider When Choosing a Mobile App Development Company for eCommerce?

      Hi everyone,

      If you're planning to get custom apps developed for your online business, choosing the right mobile app development company is crucial—especially for projects involving eCommerce app development.

      At Webkul, we’ve worked with a wide range of businesses to build scalable, user-friendly apps that integrate seamlessly with backend systems like Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, and even custom ERPs. Whether you're building a marketplace, B2B ordering app, or a mobile storefront, it's important to look for:

      🔹 API-driven architecture for real-time data sync
      🔹 Secure authentication and payment workflows
      🔹 Offline mode and push notification support
      🔹 Cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native

      Has anyone here worked on a custom eCommerce app recently? What challenges or tech stack choices made the biggest impact?

      Let’s discuss.

    • How Do You Approach Odoo Implementation Alongside Custom Theme & Template Development?

      Hi everyone,

      I’m currently planning an Odoo Implementation for a retail business that needs not only robust ERP functionalities but also a highly customized frontend for both web and backend users. While I’ve explored the core Odoo modules, I’m particularly interested in how developers are handling Odoo Theme Development and Odoo Template Development in Odoo 16 and 17.

      Some specific points I’d love community input on:

      • How do you structure theme inheritance for scalability across multiple modules?

      • Are there best practices for minimizing latency introduced by overly customized templates?

      • When integrating a new theme during Odoo Implementation, do you version it separately for staging vs production environments?

      • Has anyone integrated third-party UI frameworks (like Tailwind or Bootstrap 5) cleanly into Odoo without breaking ORM-driven views?

      • Also, if you’ve worked with custom templates for the Odoo eCommerce or POS frontend, how do you ensure compatibility during future upgrades?

      Looking forward to any real-world experience, code snippets, or tips. Trying to avoid pitfalls early on and make sure theming aligns smoothly with the broader Odoo implementation strategy.

      Thanks in advance!

    • Is an Open Source eCommerce Platform Still the Smartest Choice for 2025?

      Hi dev community,

      I’ve noticed a renewed interest in open source eCommerce platforms lately, especially with more businesses looking for full control over their tech stack, customization, and long-term cost savings. I'm currently evaluating whether to go with a commercial SaaS or commit to an open source eCommerce marketplace for a project targeting multi-vendor and international audiences.

      A few questions I’d love insights on:

      • What are the top open source eCommerce platforms in 2025 worth considering (Magento Open Source, Bagisto, Saleor, etc.)?

      • How do these platforms stack up for headless commerce use cases and PWA readiness?

      • Are community-supported plugins/extensions reliable enough for production-grade marketplaces?

      • What kind of DevOps and security overhead should I anticipate with a self-hosted eCommerce stack?

      Would appreciate your feedback, recent experiences, or even benchmarks you’ve run. Especially interested in hearing from those running high-traffic or B2B storefronts.

      Thanks in advance!

    • What Should You Look for in a Blockchain Development Services Company in 2025?

      When selecting a Blockchain Development Company for your project, it’s essential to look beyond the surface and focus on core technical capabilities that define long-term success. A reliable Blockchain Development Services Company must demonstrate not only coding expertise but also an in-depth understanding of decentralized architecture, smart contract security, and deployment workflows.

      • Smart Contract Development: Proficiency in Solidity (Ethereum), Rust (Solana), or Move (Aptos/Sui) is essential. Ensure the company performs unit testing, uses secure patterns, and conducts audits (internal or via third-party).

      • Consensus Mechanism Understanding: The team should understand PoW, PoS, or hybrid consensus depending on your use case (e.g., public ledger vs private chain).

      • DApp Architecture: Ask how they approach decentralized app development using Web3.js or Ethers.js. Look for clear documentation and modular development practices.

      • Token Standards & Integration: Experience with ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155, and integration with wallets like MetaMask and Trust Wallet is crucial.

      • Security & Compliance: Inquire about how they manage reentrancy attacks, front-running, and gas optimization. Compliance with local regulations (e.g., KYC/AML) is also important for real-world apps.

      • Deployment & DevOps: Familiarity with testnets (Goerli, Mumbai) and CI/CD pipelines for Web3 deployments adds operational value.

      If the company shows fluency in both backend blockchain logic and frontend integration, you're on the right path. Always ask for previous project references and GitHub activity to verify capabilities.

    • What Should I Look for When Hiring Salesforce Developers in the USA for Custom Integration Work?

      Hey community,

      I’m currently evaluating firms to hire Salesforce developers in the USA, specifically for a project involving complex Salesforce Cloud Integration Services. The work includes integrating with third-party CRMs, custom ERPs, and platforms like Shopify and Marketing Cloud.

      From a technical standpoint, what should I assess beyond the basic certifications? Should Apex, LWC (Lightning Web Components), and integration experience with REST/SOAP APIs be considered non-negotiable?
      Also, I’d love insights on:

      • Experience with Salesforce Platform Events or Queueable Apex
      • Familiarity with CI/CD best practices (Gearset, Jenkins, etc.)
      • HIPAA or industry-specific compliance exposure
      • Red flags to watch out for during vetting

      If you've worked with a U.S.-based Salesforce partner or team for custom integration, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience—good or bad. Recommendations welcome!

      Thanks in advance.

    • Is There Any NFT Marketplace Built on Devnet Using Laravel or Bagisto?

      Hey developers,

      I’m currently testing NFT solutions in a non-production environment and was wondering—has anyone built or come across an NFT marketplace that runs on a Devnet (like Solana Devnet or Ethereum testnets) using Laravel or specifically with Bagisto?

      I’m particularly interested in:

      • End-to-end testability (minting, transfer, and listing)
      • Integration with MetaMask or Phantom wallet on Devnet
      • IPFS or on-chain metadata handling
      • Whether Bagisto has any extensions or packages for NFT testnet deployment

      The goal is to simulate the complete NFT lifecycle before going live. If you've explored something similar or have integrated Bagisto with blockchain testnets, I’d love to hear about your setup or tools you used. Thanks in advance!

    • Can I Build a Laravel Native Mobile App Using a Laravel Mobile App Builder?

      Yes, building a Laravel-powered mobile app is very feasible with modern mobile app builders designed to connect with Laravel backends. These builders usually provide RESTful API integrations, token-based auth, and support for real-time updates via Laravel Echo or WebSockets.

      Developers can choose frameworks like Flutter or React Native to work alongside Laravel. A Laravel mobile app builder helps manage authentication, push notifications, and offline sync—critical for eCommerce, CRM, or SaaS-based apps. The key advantage is seamless API management and backend control with Laravel while delivering native performance on iOS and Android.

      If you’ve implemented one, how did you manage CI/CD or handle modular updates between web and mobile? Let’s discuss.

    • What Should You Consider Before Launching an NFT Marketplace in 2025?

      Hey builders and Web3 enthusiasts,

      I’m planning to launch an NFT marketplace focused on digital collectibles and want to ensure I’m aligning with current standards and future-ready practices. While the basics of token standards like ERC-721 and ERC-1155 are clear, I’d love insight into more advanced considerations—such as smart contract auditing, multi-chain support, royalty management, and gas optimization techniques.

      From a tech stack perspective, is it still viable to go with Ethereum + IPFS, or are Layer 2s like Polygon or Arbitrum better suited for lower transaction costs and scalability? Also, are there proven frameworks or libraries (like Thirdweb, Moralis, or Hardhat) that helped accelerate your NFT marketplace development?

      If you've integrated wallets like MetaMask, WalletConnect, or even fiat on-ramps, please share your experience. I’m especially interested in how you handled user onboarding, security, and NFT metadata management.

      Would appreciate any insights, best practices, or tech tips that made your NFT project smoother!

    • How Does a Warehouse Management System Development Company Help Streamline Operations?

      In today’s supply chain, having a well-structured Warehouse Management System (WMS) has become essential for businesses dealing with inventory, logistics, and distribution. I'm exploring the impact of Warehouse Management System Development on warehouse efficiency and would like to hear from others who have implemented or developed a custom WMS.

      From what I’ve learned so far, a good Warehouse Management System Development Company focuses on key areas like:

      • Real-time inventory tracking

      • Barcode/RFID integration

      • Order and shipment management

      • Analytics and reporting

      • User roles and permission settings

      Many companies now opt for Warehouse Management System Development Services tailored to their workflows rather than using off-the-shelf software. This allows them to automate routine tasks, reduce manual errors, and gain better visibility into inventory levels.

      If anyone here has experience working with a development team or building a WMS from scratch, I’d love to know:
      What challenges did you face during development?
      Which features proved most useful in daily operations?
      How long did it take to go from planning to deployment?
      Your insights would help a lot of businesses considering this step.
