GetCandy is a package that brings functionality akin to Shopify and other e-commerce platforms to Laravel. You have complete freedom to create your storefront(s), but GetCandy has already done the hard work for you in the backend.
GetCandy can be added to any Laravel application and have the functionality to rival other offerings. The core package provides models for working with e-commerce, such as Cart objects and other conveniences around carts like matching a cart to a user/guest session.
Here's an example from the carts documentation that illustrates creating a cart, adding products, and accessing cart data:
1$cart = Cart::create([ 2 'currency_id' => 1, 3 'channel_id' => 2, 4]); 5 6$cart->lines()->create([ 7 'purchasable_type' => ProductVariant::class, 8 'purchasable_id' => 123, 9 'quantity' => 2,10 'meta' => [11 'personalization' => 'Love you mum xxx',12 ]13]);14 15// The total price value for the cart16$cart->total;17 18// The cart sub total, excluding tax19$cart->subTotal;20 21// The monetary value for the amount of tax applied.22$cart->taxAmount;23 24// The monetary value for the discount total.25$cart->discountTotal;26 27// This is a collection of all taxes applied across all lines.28$cart->taxBreakdown;
