A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bagisto and Track123 — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Bagisto 2.5 beta adds PostgreSQL support and jumps to Laravel 13 on PHP 8.4
Bagisto's v2.5.0-beta1 marks two major platform shifts arriving together: PostgreSQL is now a supported database through a new grammar abstraction layer, and the framework stack jumps to Laravel 13 with PHP 8.4. The prior beta (v2.4.0-beta6) removed all visitor tracking functionality, including purchase funnel and customer traffic reporting.
Track123 built out post-purchase tracking, but the changelog has gone quiet since January
Track123 is a Shopify-oriented order-tracking product that spent 2025 layering on shipment analytics, tracking-page customization, carrier support (Royal Mail), and a Shopify App API. The most recent entry is the January 2026 visual map-tracking update; nothing has published since.

PostgreSQL support with a proper DB abstraction layer signals Bagisto is targeting enterprise deployments and organizations where MySQL is not an option — a prerequisite for many large-scale ecommerce operators. The Laravel 13 + PHP 8.4 upgrade keeps the platform current and positions it for modern hosting environments. The removal of visitor tracking may presage a more privacy-compliant or analytics-decoupled architecture.
v2.5 stable will follow once the beta stabilizes; the PostgreSQL abstraction will likely expand to cover edge cases in cross-database queries before the stable release. Third-party analytics integrations may fill the gap left by removed native visitor tracking.

Through 2025 the direction was clear: turn a tracking widget into a post-purchase experience layer — customizable pages, analytics reporting, AI-assisted order filtering. That momentum has stalled in the visible feed for roughly six months, so the current trajectory is uncertain rather than accelerating.
The six-month publishing gap makes a confident call hard; either the feed has drifted from the product's real release cadence or shipping has genuinely slowed. Worth verifying the changelog source before reading the silence as a roadmap signal.
