## What it is
Lunar is an open-source headless e-commerce package for Laravel, providing product catalogs, carts, orders, payments, discounts, and taxation as Eloquent-based Composer packages. It includes a Filament-built admin panel while leaving full control of the storefront to the developer.

## Use cases
- build a headless online store with Laravel
- self-hosted Shopify alternative in PHP
- manage products and orders via an admin panel
- implement cart and checkout pipelines in Laravel
- add discounts and taxation logic to a Laravel shop
- integrate Stripe or PayPal payments into a Laravel storefront

## When to choose
- you are a Laravel developer wanting full code and data ownership of your store
- you need a headless commerce backend with a ready-made admin panel
- you want Eloquent models and Laravel conventions instead of an external SaaS API

## When to avoid
- you want a turnkey hosted storefront with no development
- your stack is not PHP/Laravel
- you need a standalone e-commerce application rather than a package embedded in a Laravel app
