Bagisto
Laravel ecommerce you extend in PHP - catalog, checkout, multi-channel - on a self-hosted MySQL.
One-click deploy, from $25/mo on a Miget plan.
Bagisto is the ecommerce platform for teams that live in Laravel: a full store - catalog, cart, checkout, multi-channel, multi-currency, admin, and a theme/extension system - built on the framework your PHP developers already know. MIT-licensed, so customizing it deeply is just writing Laravel.
This template runs the official all-in-one image in external-DB mode (pointing DB_HOST at the separate MySQL container auto-disables the bundled one) behind a thin nginx proxy. APP_KEY is set explicitly so sessions and encrypted data survive redeploys.
Like the other stores here, the pitch is zero platform fees: Shopify Basic is $39/month plus per-transaction cuts; Bagisto self-hosted takes nothing per sale. It is MySQL-only (no Postgres), which the bundled MySQL container covers.

#what you get
- Full storefront: catalog, cart, checkout, multi-channel, multi-currency
- Laravel-native - extend in PHP, not a DSL
- Theme system, admin, and an extension marketplace
- Self-hosted MySQL container (external-DB mode disables the image’s bundled one)
- Headless GraphQL API available
- MIT licensed - no platform or GMV fees

#miget sizing
// this stack needs
3 GiB RAM · 15 GB disk · 3 services
2 GiB suits a typical store; the storage volume holds media and cache. MySQL-only - pair with MySQL, not Postgres.
Hobby - recommended fit
$25/mo
2 vCPU · 4 GiB · 80 GiB disk
Headroom for your own apps: 8 GiB at $49/mo
Professional - production
$43/mo
2 vCPU · 4 GiB · 25 GiB disk
Dedicated resources, production SLOs - plan details
One Miget plan is a fixed pool of compute - the whole stack (managed databases included) deploys inside it, and anything left over runs your other apps. No per-service or per-seat math.
#vs. the managed service
What the hosted equivalents charge, against the flat Miget plan this stack fits on. Prices as of June 2026, sources linked.
| Service | Plan | Monthly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bagisto on Miget ★ | 4 GiB plan | $25 | this whole stack, flat - no usage meters, and room left for your own apps |
| Shopify | Basic | ~$39 | $39/mo ($29 annual) + 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction |
| BigCommerce | Core | ~$39 | $39/mo ($29 annual); auto-upgrades past $30K trailing GMV |
Self-hosted Bagisto has no platform fee and no GMV cut - your payment-gateway rates only.
#vs. other PaaS
Estimated monthly cost of running this exact stack (3 GiB RAM, 15 GB disk, 3 containers) elsewhere, from published June 2026 rates.
| Platform | Est. monthly | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Miget ★ | $25 flat | compose stacks first-class: one deploy, dedicated vCPU, managed Postgres/Valkey, volumes and TLS all included in the plan |
| Heroku | ~$150 | no volumes; nothing between 1 GB ($50) and 2.5 GB ($250) dynos - 2 GB containers cost far more than shown |
| Render | ~$41 | per-service instances (0.5 GB $7, 2 GB $25) - every container is its own paid service |
| DO App Platform | ~$41 | no persistent volumes - stateful containers need managed DBs/Spaces (base $5 Spaces included here) |
| Railway | ~$32 | usage-based ($10/GB RAM-mo); vCPU billed separately at $20/vCPU-mo on top |
| Fly.io | ~$20 | cheapest sticker price - but burstable shared CPUs (1/16 core; dedicated vCPUs cost ~2-3×), no compose deploys (one app per container, manual wiring), managed DBs billed extra |
Estimates assume RAM fully allocated at published on-demand rates - and sticker price isn't the whole comparison: the cheaper rows buy burstable shared CPUs, per-service wiring instead of a compose deploy, and managed databases billed separately. Heroku and DO App Platform have no persistent volumes at all - stateful stacks like this one need workarounds there.
#deploy it
On Miget
- Create a Compose Stack in app.miget.com pointing at the templates repository
- Set the stack path to
bagisto -
Set the required variables:
APP_KEY, base64 key set explicitly (or sessions break on redeploy)APP_URL, the app’s https domain
- Deploy. Miget layers
compose.miget.yaml(RAM, privacy, volumes, managed services) automatically
Locally first?
Every template is portable, vanilla Docker Compose - the Miget overrides are ignored locally:
git clone https://github.com/deployable-sh/stacks
cd miget-compose-templates/bagisto
docker compose up -dSame files, same behavior. The template README covers connection strings and scaling notes.
#faq
Bagisto, PrestaShop, or Saleor?
Bagisto if your team builds in Laravel/PHP and wants to extend the store in code. PrestaShop for a turnkey European storefront with a module marketplace. Saleor for headless GraphQL with a custom frontend. All three self-host here with no platform fees.
Why set APP_KEY explicitly?
Laravel uses APP_KEY to encrypt sessions and sensitive data. The image auto-generates one per boot if unset - which would invalidate everything on each redeploy. Set a fixed base64 key (the env example has the one-liner) and state survives.
Does it use the image’s bundled MySQL?
No - the all-in-one image bundles a MySQL, but this template disables it (external-DB mode, DB_HOST off-localhost) and runs a separate MySQL 8 container instead, so the database persists cleanly on its own volume. The app’s storage volume holds media and cache.
