Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install & Deploy Laravel Multi-Vendor Platforms

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install & Deploy Laravel Multi-Vendor Platforms

Deploying a production Laravel eCommerce platform requires proper server configuration, file permission handling, database migration, and queue processing. In this technical walkthrough, we break down the exact deployment steps used by high-traffic developer shops.

Step 1: Server Requirements Checklist

Ensure your VPS or dedicated cloud instance runs Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS or compatible cPanel with the following extensions:

# Install PHP 8.2 and required modules
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y php8.2 php8.2-fpm php8.2-mysql php8.2-curl php8.2-gd php8.2-mbstring php8.2-xml php8.2-zip php8.2-bcmath

Step 2: Database Setup & Environment Variables

Create a clean MySQL or MariaDB database with UTF8mb4 collation:

CREATE DATABASE devvault_ecommerce CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'ecommerce_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YourStrongPassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON devvault_ecommerce.* TO 'ecommerce_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 3: Storage Symlinking and File Permissions

Laravel stores uploaded media in storage/app/public. Symlink it to your public web directory and set proper web server ownership:

cd /var/www/your-project
php artisan storage:link
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache

Step 4: Setting Up Background Workers & Crons

For push notifications, order status emails, and automated payment verification, configure system crons:

* * * * * cd /var/www/your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
