Read the following code as if it were a documentation page: $user = $request->user(); if ($user->cannot('place-order')) { abort(403); } $validated = $request->validate([ 'vendor_id' => ['required', Rule::exists('vendors', 'id')], 'products' => ['required', 'array'], 'products.*.id' => [ 'required', Rule::exists('products', 'id')->where('vendor_id', $request->vendor_id)], 'products.*.quantity' => ['required', 'integer', 'min:1']]); $order = Order::create([...$validated, 'status' => Status::Pending]); SendOrderToVendor::dispatch($order)->onQueue('orders'); NewOrderPlaced::dispatch($order); return ['order' => $order]; This code verifies that the user is authenticated and authorized to place orders. It can handle more than 500,000 orders per month when hosted on a $6/month server. The only additional fees are for a CDN (if you want your assets to be served faster) and a domain name.

When you need to add extra functionality, you have access to a wealth of resources and documentation (both free and paid) to assist you.

When utilizing the full power of Laravel, the previous code may look like this: class OrdersController extends Controller { public function store(StoreOrderRequest $request) { $order = $request->user()->orders()->create($request->validated()); SendOrderToVendor::dispatch($order); NewOrderPlaced::dispatch($order); return ['order' => $order]; }}
