Introduction

Laravel eCommerce Amazon S3 Extension (https://store.webkul.com/laravel-ecommerce-amazon-s3-extension.html#) provides the users to store the static files and media content to be upload on the Amazon S3 bucket and get them retrieved directly from the S3 bucket. We’ve also included the functionality to set an expiration header.
