Listaro | Flutter Classified Ads Marketplace App With Laravel Admin Panel

Most classifieds templates are screens with nothing behind them. You buy 40 beautiful pages, and then you write the server yourself. Listaro ships all three parts: the Flutter app buyers and sellers use, the Laravel API behind it, and the web admin panel you run the marketplace from. They were built together, against each other, and the API the app talks to is the same one in the download.Listaro also runs the moment you unzip it. The app opens on bundled sample data - real photos, real categories, real conversations - so every screen works before any server exists. When you are ready, one flag on the build command points it at the API instead: flutter run -dart-define=LISTARO_API=https://your-server.test/api/v1The thing that makes it classifieds A marketplace is not a shop. A car needs a year, a mileage and a gearbox; a flat needs rooms, floor area and a floor number; a phone needs storage and condition. A product catalogue cannot express that, and hardcoding it means an app release every time you add a category.Fields belong to categories, and you define them in the panel. Five types ship - text, number, select, multi-select and boolean. Mark a field filterable and it appears in three places at once: the posting form, the ad detail sheet, and the search filters. No app release, no migration, no deploy. That single decision is why the admin panel exists at all, and it is the difference between an item you can launch a real marketplace on and one you have to fork.Offers, not just chat Every classifieds app has a chat. What sellers actually do in that chat is haggle, and a plain message thread makes that unreadable - nobody can tell what was agreed. In Listaro an offer is a message. It sits in the thread where it was made, it carries its own amount, it has an accept and a decline that both sides can see, and it expires on its own. The conversation stays a conversation, and the negotiation stays legible.Around it: per-side unread counters, marking a thread read, blocking, and reporting that lands in the admin panel’s queue.The revenue model is already built A marketplace with no way to charge is a hobby. Listaro ships the standard classifieds model, working end to end:Four boost packages - Bump up, Featured, Urgent and a Bundle - each with its own price, duration and benefit list.A wallet with a real ledger. Every credit and debit is a row; balances are derived, never edited.Money in integer minor units everywhere, from the database to the API to the app. No float arithmetic anywhere near a price.An admin screen to price the packages, turn them on and off, and mark one as popular.Prices, durations and benefits are data, not code. Repricing your marketplace is a form, not a release.The panel runs on ordinary hosting The admin panel is plain Blade and one hand-written stylesheet. There is no Vite, no Tailwind build, no npm manifest and no compiled bundle anywhere in the download - because the person deploying this is on shared hosting, where there is no Node and often no shell.Upload, point the document root at public/, run the migrations, and it is live. What you read in the source is what runs. Two more things that are done rather than promised: a listaro:maintenance command expires promotions and offers on a schedule that is actually registered, and listaro:admin creates your first administrator without touching the database by hand.Under the hoodRepository interfaces, not providers. Screens never know whether they are talking to sample data or to your server.Search that works on both engines. MySQL FULLTEXT where it is available, with a token-wise fallback - because InnoDB ignores words under three letters, and “tv” is a search people make.191 tests, 118 in Flutter and 73 in PHP, green on both SQLite and MySQL 8.Fonts and photos are bundled, not fetched. Sora and Inter ship with their OFL licences, and the nine sample photos are assets - open the app on a plane and it still looks like the screenshots.Auth tokens in platform secure storage. Signing in against your server puts the Sanctum token in the iOS Keychain and the Android Keystore through flutter_secure_storage - never SharedPreferences, never a file. It is checked at launch, so a token revoked from the panel signs that device out, and a sign-out clears the device whether or not the server answered.Full unlocked source. Nothing minified, nothing obfuscated, nothing phoning home.What is not included Stated plainly, because finding this out after buying is how items earn one-star reviews.No live payment gateway The wallet, the ledger and buying a boost with wallet credit all work end to end. What is missing is the gateway that puts money into the wallet - WalletService::credit() is where your Stripe or PayPal call goes, and the app’s Top up button says so rather than doing nothing.No map tiles Location, radius search and the location picker all work. The map screen plots real ads on a drawn street grid rather than fetched tiles, so the app needs no key and no billing account to run.No push delivery Notifications are stored, listed and counted. Wiring FCM is your key and your certificate.
