A multi-vendor e-shop with payments and delivery
A multi-vendor store curating the offerings of several small family-run Slovak wineries in one place, with its own registration flow for wineries.
Malí Vinári is a project built around the idea of "wines with soul from small cellars" — a curated selection of wines from family winemakers who preserve their ancestors' tradition instead of mass production.
The goal was to build a store that, instead of a single producer, presents a curated selection from several small wineries, with a simple purchase, payment and delivery flow, while also giving wineries their own path to apply to join the offering.
Designing this marketplace store, we tackled several specific challenges.
- A marketplace, not a single producer
The catalog had to be built around assigning each product to a specific winery, with its own approval process for new suppliers.
- Credibility of the selection
The site had to communicate that this is a curated, not a mass, selection — the design and copy had to carry the feeling of a "small cellar," not a wholesaler.
- Two kinds of goods in one cart
The shop sells bottles and reservations for tasting events. An event has a date and a capacity, a bottle has stock — the same cart and checkout have to carry both.
- A static front end over live data
The catalogue runs as a static Next.js front end, while stock, prices and newly joined wineries live in a separate admin backend. Joining them over a REST API had to keep the site fast and the data current at once.
We built a static Next.js frontend connected to a separate Laravel + Filament admin backend that serves as a REST API. The frontend covers the catalog, checkout and registration of new wineries.
- A catalog of wines and accessories assigned to specific wineries
- A registration form for new wineries (name, logo, story) with admin approval
- A cart and checkout with Stripe payments and Packeta delivery
- A customer account with order history and reviews
- OTP-based login
- Booking and payment for tasting events directly in the store

Frontend and backend development
We implemented a static Next.js frontend and a Laravel + Filament backend with Stripe and Packeta integration.
Launch
After testing the winery registration process and checkout, we launched the store.
Malí Vinári brings together the offerings of several small, family wineries in one trusted place — with an entry path for new wineries through its own registration process and a full purchase experience including tasting events.
