Requires a web server with PHP 7.4+, MySQL, and Apache mod_rewrite enabled.
FShop (also referred to as Frisay) is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP, described in its README as "Turkey's open-source e-commerce software." It is designed to be self-hosted on a standard web server and provides a complete online store with a customer-facing storefront and a separate admin control panel. The technical foundation is PHP 7.4 or later, a MySQL or MariaDB database, and the Smarty templating engine for the frontend. The storefront uses Bootstrap for layout. Installation is done through a browser-based wizard: you upload the files, create a database, then follow on-screen steps to enter database credentials, set your store URL, and create an admin account. Demo data can be loaded optionally during setup. The platform includes a REST API for external integration. Through the API you can list and filter orders by date, retrieve order details including shipping and invoice addresses, update shipping status and tracking numbers, and manage products by adding, editing, or deleting them. Product images can be uploaded via the API as a file, a URL, or base64-encoded data. Categories and brands are created automatically if they do not already exist when adding a product. There is a cron job endpoint for updating USD, EUR, and gold-based product prices on a schedule, with an API token for authentication. The admin panel handles store settings, API key generation, and general configuration. Themes live in a templates folder: one for the storefront and one for the admin side. A module system in the modules folder allows extending the platform, with a developer guide included in the repository. The README also references an AGENTS.md and AI_CONTEXT.md file intended to help AI coding assistants understand the project structure. The license is noted as open-source with terms set by the project owner.
