Laravel E-Commerce: Building Tint Depot for US Dealers

Architecting a B2B film supply store with Laravel — complex catalogs, dealer pricing, and fulfillment integrations.

Laravel e-commerce architecture for Tint Depot

B2B Requirements

Tint Depot serves professional installers and dealers who order in bulk. Laravel's mature ecosystem made sense for inventory rules, tiered pricing, purchase orders, and admin tooling US ops teams rely on.

Laravel Stack Choices

  • Eloquent models with strict domain boundaries
  • Queue workers for sync with warehouse systems
  • Policies and gates for dealer vs. retail roles
  • Blade + Livewire for fast admin CRUD

Catalog Complexity

Film products have width, length, shade, and brand variants. We modeled variants as first-class entities with shared SEO URLs and canonical rules to avoid duplicate content penalties in US search results.

Scaling Lessons

Cache category counts, use database indexes on SKU lookups, and offload PDF invoices to queues. Laravel Horizon gave visibility into failed jobs — critical when US customers expect same-day shipping cutoffs.
