About Merkantor
Merkantor is e-commerce software that you install on your own hosting. The files and the database stay on your server. It runs on PHP 8.3+ with MySQL or MariaDB; standard shared hosting is enough, and SSH, Composer and Cron are not required. The installer checks the server before setup.
Updates arrive as a signed package: a backup is taken first, and the update is rolled back if something goes wrong. Products with variants, stock, SKU and VAT calculation are managed from one admin panel, with an AI assistant for product descriptions (provider fees separate).
Stripe and iyzico have been tested with real payments; PayPal, PayTR, bank transfer and cash on delivery are included. Shipping, e-invoicing and legal templates are built for Turkey.
The licence is paid once per domain, with no renewal fee and no commission on sales. Hosting and domain are not included.

azerioid
azerioid Stack Manager is a self-hosted server control panel built entirely in Laravel and Livewire. One command bootstraps the panel itself (Caddy + PHP + SQLite), then everything else — web servers (Caddy, Apache, Nginx), databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), Redis, Node.js, and background process management via Supervisor — is installed on demand from the dashboard, no third-party base stack required.
Each virtual host can independently run a different web server engine behind a single Caddy front door, with automatic Let's Encrypt HTTPS, a scoped web terminal and file manager per site, per-database remote-access control, and a full CLI with feature parity to the UI. It's been verified end-to-end on Ubuntu, Debian, and Enterprise Linux (with SELinux enforcing) across real servers.
