Merchant Story: EasySok

EasySok licenses a ready-to-run online store to traders across the Gulf, from boutiques to gadget sellers.

Each trader gets the full source code instead of a rented storefront.

They put it on a server of their own choice.

Its homepage promises “a professional store with code you fully own.”

That stands against closed stores that take a cut of every sale.

A one-time payment stands in for the monthly fee that platforms such as Salla and Zid charge.

Bagisto is an open source commerce platform built on Laravel, and it runs behind every EasySok store.

EasySok’s Challenge: Replacing Rented Storefronts With Owned Code

Many Gulf traders start out on a closed platform, where every sale carries a fee and every change needs sign-off.

EasySok’s traders wanted something different: a store they could change freely and host where they chose.

They also wanted to keep it even after switching teams.

Arabic-speaking shoppers also needed a true right-to-left layout, not an English site mirrored for Arabic text.

A boutique, a wholesale trader and a multi-seller site could not all fit inside one fixed plan.

How EasySok Built a Self-Hosted Bagisto Storefront for Gulf Merchants

Bagisto’s open source code gave EasySok an engine it could license and brand as its own.

The code ships to the trader’s own server, so EasySok could sell a self-hosted Bagisto storefront without owning the hosting itself.

License Tiers for a Self-Hosted Bagisto Storefront

EasySok packages Bagisto into three one-time license tiers: Starter at $199, Business at $599 and Enterprise at $1,299.

Starter covers a storefront with CMS, SEO tools and one payment gateway, enough for a first store.

Business adds ERP sync, more payment gateways and offline-ready checkout for live stock.

Enterprise adds multi-vendor sites, B2B pricing and custom work for bigger stores.

A $39-a-month managed plan adds hosting, backups and updates for traders who skip self-hosting.

Merchants who want that hosting straight from Bagisto can use its own managed cloud hosting.

Ready-Made Storefront Themes for Every Trade

EasySok built its themes around real trades, such as grocery, gadgets, fashion, beauty and perfume.

A trader can preview a live storefront before picking a license.

The Megabyte theme, built for gadget sellers, is one such option.

Every theme carries full RTL Arabic support.

The layout reads correctly for Gulf shoppers from day one.

B2B Wholesale and Multi-Vendor Options

The Enterprise tier turns one store into a multi-vendor marketplace, with a separate dashboard for each seller.

That same tier adds B2B wholesale pricing, quotes and distributor accounts for traders who sell to other firms.

Such range lets EasySok offer the same self-hosted Bagisto storefront to a boutique and a wholesale buyer alike.

Results of Running a Self-Hosted Bagisto Storefront at EasySok

EasySok turns Bagisto’s open source code into a store that Gulf traders own outright, rather than rent.

A trader can start on the Starter tier and move up as the business grows.

Later tiers add ERP sync, multi-vendor selling and B2B pricing.

Every tier ships with the full source code, so a trader keeps the store even after changing hosts.
