PHP extensions: BCMath, Ctype, cURL, DOM, Fileinfo, JSON, Mbstring, OpenSSL, PCRE, PDO, Tokenizer, XML, GD or Imagick.

Run installer:

php artisan bagisto:install

The command executes migrations, seeders, publishes assets, and creates the first admin. After — build frontend:

npm install
npm run build

Nginx configuration

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name myshop.example.com;
    root /var/www/myshop/public;
    index index.php;

    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

    charset utf-8;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    error_page 404 /index.php;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
        deny all;
    }
}

After configuration enable SSL via Certbot: certbot --nginx -d myshop.example.com.

Queue configuration (Supervisor)

Bagisto actively uses queues for sending emails, generating invoices, and webhook notifications.

[program:bagisto-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/myshop/artisan queue:work redis --sleep=3 --tries=3 --max-time=3600
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=www-data
numprocs=2
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/myshop/storage/logs/worker.log
stopwaitsecs=3600

supervisorctl reread
supervisorctl update
supervisorctl start bagisto-worker:*

Initial configuration in admin panel

After login at /admin configure:

Channels and locales

Channel is a separate store "window" with its own domain, currency, and language. For a multilingual store, create one channel with multiple locales.

Taxes

Catalog → Taxes → Tax Categories — create categories (e.g., VAT 20%). Then bind to tax groups and regions via Tax Rates.

Shipping methods

Built-in: FlatRate, Free Shipping. For SDEK or Russian Post, a package or custom provider is needed — connected in config/carriers.php.

Payment methods

Built-in: Cash On Delivery, Money Transfer, PayPal. Custom gateways are registered in config/paymentmethods.php and implement Webkul\Payment\Payment interface.

Email configuration

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=secret
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
[email protected]
MAIL_FROM_NAME="My Store"

Email templates are published via command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=bagisto-mail-views

Then edited in resources/views/vendor/shop/emails/.

Scheduler cron

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

The scheduler handles shopping cart cleanup, sitemap generation, and currency rate updates (if a provider is enabled).

Directory permissions

chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/myshop

Post-installation checklist

• Run php artisan config:cache && php artisan route:cache
• Configure database backup (cron + mysqldump or spatie/laravel-backup)
• Install Redis and verify connection via php artisan tinker → Redis::ping()
• Test email sending via test order
• Configure queue monitoring — Laravel Horizon (composer require laravel/horizon)
• Verify sitemap generation at /sitemap.xml
