CRMEB High-Quality Open-Source Mall System v8 (PHP)
Mid-platform Architecture · Modular Extensions · AI-Native · Multi-Terminal
📝 Project Overview
Open Source Freedom
CRMEB open-source mall is 100% open source under the Apache-2.0 license, free for commercial use — truly “zero-cost” deployment and secondary development. A new mall foundation for the AI era.
Mid-platform Architecture
v8 is rebuilt as a mid-platform e-commerce architecture: the Product Mid-platform unifies multi-type products; the Order Mid-platform aggregates status and operations across order sources; the After-sales & Refund Mid-platform provides unified after-sales tickets and idempotent refunds. Product types (physical goods, cloud disk) and trade modes (normal, membership) are decoupled into two independent dimensions and can be freely combined via registries.
Modular Plugin System
Business capabilities are organized as pluggable modules (modules/) and drivers (driver/): currently 22 official modules (physical goods, cloud-disk products, H5 channel, WeChat Mini Program channel, check-in, AI Agent, MCP service, and more) and 30 official drivers (WeChat Pay, cloud storage, SMS, email, logistics tracking, e-waybill, e-invoice, product scraping, bots, cloud printing, and more). A fresh install defaults to 7 modules (1 required + 6 default) and 15 drivers. All support visual install / uninstall / enable / disable in the admin panel. Extensions follow a unified spec with zero-intrusion secondary development.
AI-Native
Built-in AI Agent module for admin AI chat, streaming responses, and automated tasks; MCP service exposes system tools to AI clients via /api/mcp, so humans and AI can operate the mall together. In the AI era, stability is the highest form of intelligence.
Multi-Terminal
One uni-app codebase covers H5, WeChat Mini Program, and APP. The admin panel is Vue 3 + Element Plus with front/back separation and real-time data sync for multi-channel operations.
📝 CRMEB Ecosystem Marketplace
Ecosystem Plugins
Browse the CRMEB marketplace for official curated plugins with continuous updates, professional support, and one-click upgrades — tailored to industry needs without deep technical skills.
One-Click Import
The system itself is plugin-based: product types, marketing campaigns, payments, logistics, distribution, content & community, analytics, third-party services, and industry customizations all plug in. Install what you need without touching core code or conflicting with upgrades. Import once and use immediately.
Publish Plugins
Use with ease — or earn with ease. Besides official plugins, developers can upload their own. Build industry-specific capabilities on the open-source AI foundation and list them on the marketplace. When others pay to download your work, you share the revenue — turning technical craft into income while growing the open-source mall ecosystem.
We are not building “just another storefront.” How far a system goes depends on how many people are willing to build on it. Missing a plugin? Tell the official team. Have a great plugin? Bring it and talk.

🧩 Mid-platform Core Capabilities
| Mid-platform | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Mid-platform | Product master data separated from type extensions; shared categories, SKUs, attributes, reviews, and stats across types. Modular product types with built-in physical goods and cloud-disk products; custom types supported |
| Trade Mode Registry | “How a product is sold” decoupled from “what a product is”: built-in normal purchase and membership trade modes handle promotional pricing, order validation, and lifecycle hooks; more playbooks register via the registry |
| Order Mid-platform | Multi-type orders unified with product snapshots and status logs; order-type adapters unify status trees, payment status, action buttons, and progress |
| After-sales & Refund Mid-platform | Unified after-sales applications and line items; product types declare available after-sales types and time windows via a rule registry; unified refund tickets + idempotent refund side-effect records; supports refund-only, return & refund, exchange, and repair |
| User & Assets | User-centric aggregation of addresses, tags, levels, membership, balance, points, commission, coupons, invoices, and referral relationships |
📦 Modules & Drivers
Currently 22 modules and 30 drivers. Fresh install defaults to 7 modules (1 required + 6 default) and 15 drivers. Manage them under Admin → Extension Management (physical goods is a protected base module and cannot be uninstalled).
Built-in Modules
| Module | Capability |
|---|---|
| Physical Goods | Common products & SKUs, logistics / delivery / pickup fulfillment (protected base module) |
| Cloud Disk Products | Digital goods, auto-delivered after payment |
| H5 Browser | H5 channel access and user auth |
| WeChat Mini Program | Mini Program channel access and user auth |
| Check-in | Consecutive / cumulative check-in rules, points rewards, records |
| AI Agent | Admin AI chat, streaming responses, automated tasks, and run records |
| MCP Service | POST /api/mcp exposes system tools to AI clients with independent key auth |
Built-in Drivers
| Category | Built-in Drivers |
|---|---|
| Payment | WeChat Pay, WeChat Pay V3 |
| Cloud Storage | Local storage, Alibaba Cloud OSS |
| SMS / Email | Yihaotong SMS, QQ Mail |
| Bots | WeCom bot, DingTalk bot, Feishu bot |
| Logistics & Fulfillment | Yihaotong tracking, e-waybill, e-invoice, product scraping |
| Cloud Print | Feie Cloud, Yilianyun |
🫧 Technical Highlights
Secondary development:
1. Coding standards: PSR-12 naming, RESTful APIs, strict Controller→Services→Dao→Model layering, complete comments, unified response body {status,msg,data};
2. Permission management: flexible RBAC — menus are permission rules down to each menu and action button;
3. Module scaffolding: php think make:module generates compliant skeletons (plugins, product types, drivers, trade modes, marketing observers);
4. Architecture guard: php think arch:check scans the three-layer dependency rule, cross-module imports, events, and comment conventions — CI-ready;
5. System events: dual event registries for core and modules; listeners attach at event anchors and load with module install state;
6. Scheduled tasks: dual timer systems for core and modules, auto-registered on module install;
7. API management: visual route management, import, and online debugging in admin;
8. Form engine: PHP form-builder on the backend, @form-create on the frontend;
9. Code generation: quickly generate admin menus, pages, and CRUD;
10. Docs: Chinese project docs under help/docs (overview, architecture, features, DB design, deploy, ops); admin can connect MCP knowledge services (doc/route/schema search);
11. AI development kit: .crmeb ships AI coding rules, skills, and sub-agents compatible with mainstream AI coding tools.
Performance & extensibility:
1. Security: JWT auth, role checks, operation logs, production logs, file integrity checks, data backup;
2. Performance: Redis cache, think-queue, Workerman long-connection gateway, multi cloud storage, cluster-ready;
3. i18n: admin and storefront multilanguage (vue-i18n) with browser language detection;
4. Driver extensions: ten categories — payment, upload, SMS, email, logistics, e-waybill, printing, bots, scraping, invoices — switch vendors freely for the same capability;
5. Realtime: unified WebSocket gateway (/ws) for admin realtime notifications and more;
6. Yihaotong: shared third-party extension for SMS, tracking, e-waybill, e-invoice, and product scraping.
