What is RapidSaaS Conduit?

A fresh perspective on Laravel SaaS development

What is RapidSaaS Conduit?

Conduit is a Laravel SaaS starter kit that comes with everything you need to build and maintain your Laravel SaaS application. This includes essentials like one-time purchases and subscriptions with the most popular payment providers like Stripe, Paddle, and Lemon Squeezy. Conduit comes bundled with several Blade components for common functionality, like a Buy Button and a Product Card. In addition, Conduit really shines when it comes to being both developer- and user-friendly. It does the heavy lifting for things like handling Carts, Checkouts, and management for your application's users and guests.


Why a Laravel SaaS Starter Kit?

Let's get the big question out of the way first - why?

We at the team behind RapidSaaS Conduit, Mergeloop, believe that these "starter kits" shouldn't be just a starting point, they should both aid in the rapid development of your SaaS while also supporting your application's growth without getting in the way of common upgrades and releases. That is why RapidSaaS Conduit is built like any ol' composer package. You install it with composer, you update it with composer, and you can remove it with composer.


What makes Conduit Different?

There are other starter kit alternatives to Conduit, but where Conduit is in a league of it's own is because it is a package that will sit alongside your application and scale with you. Other starter kits are managed through forked GitHub repositories, which forces you to merge their changes into your application - potentially leading to conflicts that you will have to resolve. If you wish to customize the functionality of any of these other starter kits, you can do so, but know that the authors can make changes that could conflict with your customizations. 

Conduit is built to be lightweight and highly customizable, only coming with the features you need. Other alternatives can try to come with everything and the kitchen sink, but you don't need all of those bells and whistles to build a great Laravel SaaS. You'd spend more time tearing out the things you don't need than building your great idea - which merging any incoming changes from the starter kit's GitHub repository could just add back in. Conduit is built for rapid development and rapid updates, just like all your other packages.
