An example of multi-domain/subdomain app in Laravel. A project allows your users to create their shops (or websites) under your subdomain, like acme.example.com
- User login and registration
- Application control panel
- Sub-domains routes
- Custom helper functions to work with subdomains
- Database migrations
- etc.
Please note: This is a demo project, and a lot of features aren't included, such as billing, user management, etc. The main purpose of this project is to show how to work with wildcard domains/subdomains in Laravel Framework.

It is supposed that the project is hosted using Laravel Forge and deployed using Envoyer.io
Commands to be added after installing composer dependencies:
cd {{release}}
composer update
npm install
npm run production
php artisan view:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan vendor:publish
php artisan migrate --force
php artisan db:seed --force
php artisan config:cache
Let's assume the app will be running on the app.example.com domain, so your users will be able to create their shops on your sub-domains, like acme.example.com. In this case, your .env file may looks as follow:
APP_URL=http://app.example.com
APP_DOMAIN=example.com
SESSION_DOMAIN='.example.com'
ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=John
ADMIN_LAST_NAME=Doe
ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
ADMIN_PASSWORD=my_secure_password
It is recommended to use tunneling service like ngrok.com, when developing on your local machine. In this case your .env file may looks as follow:
APP_URL=http://app.yourapp.ngrok.io
APP_DOMAIN=yourapp.ngrok.io
SESSION_DOMAIN='.yourapp.ngrok.io'
ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=John
ADMIN_LAST_NAME=Doe
ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secure_pa55word
npm run watch
npm run dev
npm run production
