In-depth guide

Building a Shopify Clone: E-commerce Platform

A Shopify clone is actually two products: the merchant admin (store builder) and the customer-facing storefront. The admin lets merchants add products, manage inventory, configure shipping, and view orders. The storefront displays products attractively and handles the purchase flow. Building this as a multi-tenant platform (where each merchant gets their own store) adds a layer of complexity around data isolation and custom domains. Fabricate generates this complete architecture including the merchant onboarding flow.

Merchant Admin: Product management with variants, inventory tracking, order management, shipping configuration, discount codes, and analytics dashboard.

Storefront: Product catalog with search and filtering, collection pages, product detail with photos and variants, cart, and Stripe checkout.

Multi-Tenancy: Each merchant gets isolated data, their own subdomain, and customizable storefront theme within the platform constraints.
