REST API for Nearby Shops open source local e-commerce software.

The project is currently under development. Please come back later.

It is expected to take some more time to get the documentation and user guide ready and also make a formal public release.

Nearby Shops API

The existing e-commerce solutions only allow you to build an e-commerce portal for single seller or a shop but they do not allow you to build your e-commerce marketplace where multiple sellers can sell.

Build your own e-commerce marketplace. Support for mobile app is also available.
