Order confirmation emails, inventory updates, invoice generation, CRM sync — most e-commerce teams process these manually, burning 2–4 hours a day on work a machine can finish in seconds.
At MaxiMoruM, we connect n8n workflow automation to Laravel backends so those repetitive tasks run without staff intervention.
What we automate
n8n is a self-hosted workflow tool that connects APIs, databases, and third-party services through a visual node editor. Paired with a Laravel application, it becomes a reliable automation layer that sits between your business logic and the services you depend on.
A typical setup we build for Ukrainian online stores:
- New order in OpenCart → n8n triggers → Nova Poshta shipment created → tracking number written back to the order → customer SMS sent via Telegram bot
- LiqPay payment confirmed → n8n checks inventory in the ERP → invoice PDF generated → emailed to customer and accountant
- Abandoned cart detected → n8n waits 30 minutes → sends a personalised reminder via Viber or email
Each flow is a Laravel API endpoint that n8n calls, combined with n8n's native nodes for Gmail, Google Sheets, Telegram, Slack, and 400+ other services.
Why self-hosted n8n over Zapier
Zapier costs scale with volume. On a store processing 500 orders a day, monthly Zapier fees can exceed $300. A self-hosted n8n instance on a €20/month VPS runs unlimited workflows at zero per-execution cost.
Data never leaves your infrastructure — critical when handling Ukrainian customer PII and financial transactions.
What a build looks like
We scope, deploy, and document n8n + Laravel automation projects in 2–4 weeks depending on the number of workflow branches. We version every flow in Git alongside the Laravel codebase, so your team can maintain and extend them without vendor lock-in.
