How Effective Are Laravel Mobile App Builders for eCommerce & Multi-Vendor Setups?

[vihanrichard]

Hey developers,

I’m currently researching mobile app development options where Laravel powers the backend. I've come across a number of Laravel mobile app builders and wanted to get real-world feedback—especially for eCommerce and multi-vendor marketplace use cases.
Laravel is undoubtedly solid when it comes to backend logic and API-first development. But when paired with mobile frontends built using Flutter or React Native, how seamless is the integration? I’m particularly curious about:

• Real-time sync for inventory and orders
  
• Offline functionality with local storage or queuing
  
• Performance under heavy user loads
  
• REST vs GraphQL API support
  
• Role-based access for different vendor types
  
• Headless compatibility with Laravel-based systems
  

Has anyone here built or deployed a mobile app using Laravel as the backend and a Laravel mobile app builder for the frontend—particularly with frameworks like Flutter or React Native? I'm looking to understand how well this setup performs for eCommerce use cases, including real-time updates, offline access, and modular API integration. If you've used Bagisto or any Laravel-based stack for a multi-vendor or marketplace mobile app, I’d appreciate insights into your CI/CD setup, scalability strategies, and how effectively you managed code reusability across web and mobile platforms.

Thanks in advance—looking forward to your insights!
