How I Built a Scalable 1mg Clone App — A Developer’s Guide for Founders and Agencies

Build a 1mg Clone App Developer Guide

When we talk about digital healthcare, 1mg is one of those standout platforms that has gone way beyond just selling medicines. It’s a full-fledged health companion. You can book diagnostic tests, get e-consultations, order prescription and OTC drugs, and even read verified health content — all in one place. As a developer who recently built an app like 1mg from scratch, I can confidently say it’s one of the most rewarding builds if you’re into solving real-life problems with tech.

So why is a 1mg-like app relevant today? Simple — healthcare is moving online. People want access to medicines, doctors, and health reports without stepping out. Startups and agencies tapping into this demand with a 1mg clone have a chance to create serious value — especially if you go about the build with flexibility in mind. That’s what I did: one architecture with two stack options — JavaScript (Node.js + React) and PHP (Laravel or CodeIgniter).

In this developer guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how I approached the build, which tech choices I made and why, what modules I prioritized, and how you can customize a 1mg-style platform to launch faster — using either JavaScript or PHP, depending on your team and budget.

Tech Stack: JavaScript (Node.js + React) vs PHP (Laravel/CodeIgniter)

When I started architecting the 1mg clone, the first question was: which stack gives us speed, scalability, and flexibility without blowing up the budget? The answer wasn’t binary. Different clients have different goals. Some want fast turnaround with a familiar backend like PHP; others want modern, scalable setups with JavaScript across the stack. So I built it to support both.

JavaScript Stack: Node.js + React

For teams that want speed and real-time capability (like managing chat with doctors or real-time order updates), Node.js is a fantastic backend. It’s asynchronous, lightweight, and plays nicely with NoSQL databases like MongoDB (though you can use PostgreSQL too). On the frontend, React gave me reusable components, lightning-fast UI updates, and excellent state management via Redux.

In this approach, the stack looked like this:

  • Frontend: React, Redux Toolkit, TailwindCSS
  • Backend: Node.js + Express.js
  • Database: MongoDB (or PostgreSQL for stricter schemas)
  • Auth: JWT (JSON Web Token)
  • Hosting: Vercel/Netlify for frontend, PM2 on DigitalOcean for backend

Why choose this stack?

  • Highly scalable for dynamic content and user interaction
  • Easy API creation and integration
  • Frontend and backend in one language (JavaScript), great for small teams

PHP Stack: Laravel or CodeIgniter

PHP is still a beast when it comes to backend development for apps that rely on form submissions, content-heavy modules, and administrative dashboards. I built the PHP version using Laravel primarily because of its elegance, ORM (Eloquent), built-in Auth scaffolding, and blade templating. For teams that prefer a lighter, faster setup, I also maintained a CodeIgniter version.

Here’s the setup:

  • Frontend: Blade (Laravel) or traditional HTML+JS (CodeIgniter)
  • Backend: Laravel 10.x (preferred) or CodeIgniter 4.x
  • Database: MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • Auth: Laravel Sanctum (or CI4 Filters)
  • Hosting: Apache/Nginx + Laravel Forge or shared hosting

Why go PHP?

  • Faster to develop if your team is familiar with PHP
  • Budget-friendly for MVPs or agency projects
  • Laravel ecosystem handles routing, migrations, seeding, and tests smoothly

Ultimately, I ensured both versions can be deployed with full feature parity. It’s about fitting the stack to the team, not forcing the team to the stack.

Database Design: Flexible, Scalable, and Easy to Extend

Designing the database for a 1mg clone means balancing strict medical data rules with enough flexibility for new features like teleconsultation or lab test packages. I kept the schema modular and normalized to avoid future headaches. Here’s how I approached it.

Core Entities

At the heart of the app, you’ll find the following key tables or collections:

  • Users: Stores patient info, login credentials, address book, and order history.
  • Medicines: Includes product details, categories, prices, stock levels, prescription requirements.
  • Orders: Contains order items, shipping status, payment status, and invoice links.
  • Prescriptions: Uploaded by users, verified by admins or AI, attached to specific orders.
  • Doctors: For consultation modules—availability, specialties, ratings.
  • Appointments: Bookings with doctors, status, payment linkage.
  • Diagnostics: Lab test packages, prices, home collection availability.
  • Transactions: Tied to Stripe/Razorpay records for refunds and audits.

JavaScript Stack: MongoDB Schema Example

For the Node.js version, I used MongoDB due to its flexibility in handling semi-structured data like prescriptions and test reports. Here’s a sample medicine document:

{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: "Paracetamol 500mg",
  category: "Fever",
  manufacturer: "ABC Pharma",
  requiresPrescription: true,
  pricing: {
    MRP: 50,
    discount: 10
  },
  stock: 120,
  meta: {
    dosage: "1-1-1 after food",
    sideEffects: ["nausea", "drowsiness"]
  }
}

PHP Stack: MySQL Table Design

For Laravel, I normalized the schema with foreign keys for clean relational logic. Here’s the medicines table design:

CREATE TABLE medicines (
  id BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(255),
  category_id BIGINT,
  manufacturer VARCHAR(255),
  requires_prescription BOOLEAN,
  mrp DECIMAL(10,2),
  discount DECIMAL(10,2),
  stock INT,
  dosage TEXT,
  side_effects TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP
);

Laravel’s Eloquent makes joins and data access very straightforward. For example:

$medicine = Medicine::with('category')->find($id);

Design Principles I Followed

  • Scalability: All data models can be indexed and horizontally scaled, especially important for order history and search filters.
  • Flexibility: Optional fields for dosage or side effects are structured to allow easy customization.
  • Auditability: Transaction and prescription tables log every change to support compliance.

In both stacks, the schema is designed to grow. You can easily add new features like offers, bundles, or subscription refills without changing existing structures.

Key Modules & Features: What Makes the App Work

A 1mg clone isn’t just about listing medicines. It’s an ecosystem. You need multiple moving parts that talk to each other seamlessly—product catalog, search, orders, doctor consults, lab bookings, and admin control. I’ll walk you through how I built these modules using both JavaScript and PHP stacks.

1. Medicine Search & Filters

JavaScript (React + Node.js)
I used server-side filtering via Express routes. React powered a responsive UI with category tags, auto-suggestions, and filters like “prescription required” or “in stock.”

// Node.js route
app.get('/api/medicines', async (req, res) => {
const filters = req.query;
const medicines = await Medicine.find(filters).limit(20);
res.json(medicines);
});

PHP (Laravel)
Laravel controllers handled query building using Eloquent.

public function index(Request $request)
{
$medicines = Medicine::where('name', 'like', '%'.$request->name.'%')
->when($request->has('category'), function($query) use ($request) {
return $query->where('category_id', $request->category);
})
->paginate(20);
return response()->json($medicines);
}

2. Booking Doctor Consultations

Built as a standalone module connected to the user and doctor entities.

  • Booking times are displayed in 30-minute slots
  • Availability is updated in real-time (via sockets in Node.js, or with periodic polling in PHP)

Node.js: Socket.io helped me lock slots when someone started booking
Laravel: Used MySQL transactions to avoid double-booking

3. Prescription Upload & Verification

Handled via file uploads and status tracking.

  • Users upload a prescription (PDF, image)
  • Admin gets a notification
  • Admin approves or flags it
  • Status updates reflect in the user’s dashboard

Both stacks use a simple upload API + file system storage or S3.
In Laravel, I used the Storage facade. In Node.js, Multer handled multipart uploads.

4. Diagnostics Test Booking

Just like the consultation module, test bookings involved:

  • Selecting a test package
  • Providing address and time slot
  • Triggering lab notification (via email or push)

Test results are uploaded by admin/lab partner and shown in user panel.

5. Admin Panel

PHP Stack
Laravel Nova was a game-changer for me. With it, I could scaffold an entire admin backend in hours.

JavaScript Stack
I built the admin using React Admin and connected it to the same backend API.

Key features:

  • Manage medicines, orders, users, prescriptions
  • Approve consultations
  • Upload test results
  • Track inventory

Each role had permissions handled via middleware (JWT in JS, or Laravel gates in PHP).

6. Cart and Order Management

This is where you need real-time logic (stock locking, pricing rules, discounts).
I used Redis for temporary cart storage in Node.js. In Laravel, I used session + a carts table.

Order flow:

  • User adds to cart
  • Proceeds to checkout
  • Uploads prescription if required
  • Makes payment
  • Order is processed and tracked via status updates (Confirmed, Shipped, Delivered)

Each module had isolated components but shared a common user auth and notification layer.

Data Handling: Blending APIs and Manual Management

Building a 1mg clone means supporting two types of data sources:

  1. Third-party APIs for real-time medicine availability, pricing, and test packages
  2. Manual Listings managed through an admin panel when APIs aren’t reliable or available

I designed the system to handle both dynamically. Let’s break it down.

Integrating Third-Party APIs (Amadeus, Skyscanner-like for Healthcare)

While 1mg doesn’t use travel APIs, the analogy helps. You need to pull data from pharma partners, diagnostic lab APIs, or health content providers. I built middleware services to periodically fetch and normalize the data into our database structure.

JavaScript (Node.js)
I used Axios for API calls and a scheduler (node-cron) to sync periodically.

const axios = require('axios');
const cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('0 */6 * * *', async () => {
const res = await axios.get('https://api.vendor.com/medicines');
for (let item of res.data) {
await Medicine.updateOne({ sku: item.sku }, item, { upsert: true });
}
});

PHP (Laravel)
Laravel’s scheduler and HTTP client handled sync jobs every 6 hours.

$schedule->call(function () {
$response = Http::get('https://api.vendor.com/medicines');
foreach ($response->json() as $item) {
Medicine::updateOrCreate(['sku' => $item['sku']], $item);
}
})->everySixHours();

This gave me full control over transforming and caching third-party data locally.

Admin-Based Manual Listing

For products not available via API (like regional medicines or partner-specific tests), the admin can manually add entries.

  • Laravel Nova or custom Blade-based admin screens
  • React Admin frontend with Node backend
  • Image uploads stored in cloud (S3 or DigitalOcean Spaces)

Each medicine/test is tagged with a source flag (API/manual) to distinguish logic downstream.

Hybrid Strategy for Data Integrity

I stored both real-time fetched data and manually added content in the same collection/table, with an is_api_sourced flag.

{
  "name": "Vitamin D3",
  "sku": "VITD3-1000",
  "source": "manual",
  "syncedAt": null
}

This helped in:

  • Prioritizing fresh data from APIs
  • Fallback to admin data when APIs fail
  • Seamless merging in frontend listings

This hybrid approach made the platform highly resilient and customizable for different market needs.

API Integration: Building Clean, Scalable Endpoints in Both Stacks

Building APIs for a 1mg clone meant focusing on consistency, security, and clarity. Whether it’s fetching a list of medicines, placing an order, or uploading a prescription, the API needed to support a fast frontend, mobile apps, and admin tools. I kept all endpoints RESTful, with versioning and token-based security.

Node.js (Express.js) Approach

I structured the Express app into controllers, middlewares, and routes. Here’s a simplified look at how I built some key endpoints.

Fetch Medicines with Filters

// GET /api/v1/medicines
router.get('/medicines', async (req, res) => {
  const filters = {};
  if (req.query.category) filters.category = req.query.category;
  if (req.query.prescription === 'true') filters.requiresPrescription = true;

  const medicines = await Medicine.find(filters).limit(20);
  res.json(medicines);
});

Place an Order

// POST /api/v1/orders
router.post('/orders', authenticateUser, async (req, res) => {
const order = new Order({
userId: req.user.id,
items: req.body.items,
address: req.body.address,
total: req.body.total,
status: 'Pending'
});
await order.save();
res.status(201).json(order);
});

All sensitive routes were protected with JWT middleware.


function authenticateUser(req, res, next) {
  const token = req.headers.authorization?.split(' ')[1];
  if (!token) return res.status(401).send('Unauthorized');
  const user = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
  req.user = user;
  next();
}

CREATE TABLE medicines (
id BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255),
category_id BIGINT,
manufacturer VARCHAR(255),
requires_prescription BOOLEAN,
mrp DECIMAL(10,2),
discount DECIMAL(10,2),
stock INT,
dosage TEXT,
side_effects TEXT,
created_at TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP
);

Laravel (PHP) Approach

Laravel made API development easy using routes, resource controllers, and form request validation.

Fetch Medicines

Route::get('/api/v1/medicines', [MedicineController::class, 'index']);
public function index(Request $request)
{
  $query = Medicine::query();
  if ($request->has('category')) $query->where('category_id', $request->category);
  if ($request->has('prescription')) $query->where('requires_prescription', true);

  return MedicineResource::collection($query->paginate(20));
}

Place an Order

Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->post('/orders', [OrderController::class, 'store']);
public function store(OrderRequest $request)
{
  $order = Order::create([
    'user_id' => auth()->id(),
    'address' => $request->address,
    'total' => $request->total,
    'status' => 'pending'
  ]);

  foreach ($request->items as $item) {
    $order->items()->create($item);
  }

  return new OrderResource($order);
}

Laravel Sanctum provided simple token-based authentication, perfect for SPAs and mobile clients.

Versioning and Error Handling

Both stacks followed v1 versioning in URLs, and I standardized response formats like:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {...},
  "error": null
}

Error handling was done via global middleware in Node.js and exception handling in Laravel via Handler.php.

Whether you go with Node.js or Laravel, clean APIs are the foundation of a modular, scalable 1mg-like app. They power the frontend, the admin panel, and even allow for future integrations (like mobile apps or external labs).

Frontend + UI Structure: Fast, Responsive, and Built to Convert

The frontend is where users decide if they trust your app. Especially in healthcare, the interface has to feel intuitive, fast, and reassuring. I focused on clear hierarchy, speed, and responsiveness, while making it easy to switch between medicine shopping, booking lab tests, and doctor consultations.

JavaScript Stack: React Frontend

React gave me the speed and component flexibility needed for a complex UI with dynamic content. I used TailwindCSS for styling, React Router for navigation, and Redux Toolkit for state management.

Layout Structure

  • Header with login, cart, and search bar
  • Sidebar with category filters (mobile collapsible)
  • Main content for listing medicines, labs, doctors
  • Footer with legal links and customer service info

Responsive Design
I used Tailwind’s utility classes (md:grid-cols-3, lg:px-20) to make sure everything adapted perfectly across devices. The mobile-first approach was crucial since many users shop for medicine on mobile.

Component Design

  • SearchBar: Auto-suggest with debounce API calls
  • ProductCard: Reusable for both medicines and tests
  • CartDrawer: Slide-in drawer for quick cart access
  • Modals: For login, prescription upload, and order confirmation

PHP Stack: Laravel Blade Templates

Laravel’s Blade templates gave me server-rendered speed with simple syntax. I used Laravel Mix for asset compilation, Bootstrap 5 for responsiveness, and custom Vue.js components where dynamic behavior was needed.

Page Layout

  • layouts/master.blade.php included the base HTML, navbar, and footer
  • Dynamic content blocks (@yield('content')) used across:
    • home.blade.php
    • medicine-list.blade.php
    • consultation-booking.blade.php
    • checkout.blade.php

Responsiveness
Bootstrap’s grid system worked well for tablets and phones. For complex forms (like doctor booking or test checkout), I used accordion-style collapsible UIs.

Partial Components

  • @include('partials.cart')
  • @include('partials.prescription-modal')
  • @include('partials.searchbox')

UX Decisions

  • Navigation: Kept bottom navigation on mobile for faster lab/test switching
  • Trust Signals: Used badges for “Verified by Doctor”, “Prescription Required”, “24hr Delivery”
  • Speed Optimizations: Lazy loading for images and API content, client-side caching via Redux or Laravel Cache

Ultimately, whether you go with React or Blade, the goal is the same: clear flow, fast feedback, and high conversion. Both implementations supported easy theming and localization, which helped in targeting different regions.

Authentication & Payments: Security and Seamless Checkout

Security is non-negotiable in healthcare. Users trust you with sensitive health and payment data. So I made authentication tight, roles well-isolated, and payments smooth. Here’s how I handled it in both JavaScript and PHP stacks.

Authentication Flow

Node.js + JWT (JavaScript Stack)
I used jsonwebtoken and bcryptjs to handle auth securely. Passwords are hashed before saving, and JWT tokens are issued on login.

Signup/Login Route

// POST /api/v1/auth/login
router.post('/auth/login', async (req, res) => {
const user = await User.findOne({ email: req.body.email });
const isMatch = await bcrypt.compare(req.body.password, user.password);
if (!isMatch) return res.status(401).send('Invalid credentials');
const token = jwt.sign({ id: user._id, role: user.role }, process.env.JWT_SECRET, { expiresIn: '7d' });
res.json({ token, user });
});

JWT Middleware
This protects all routes that need a logged-in user.

function protect(req, res, next) {
  const token = req.headers.authorization?.split(' ')[1];
  if (!token) return res.status(401).send('No token');
  const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
  req.user = decoded;
  next();
}

Laravel Sanctum (PHP Stack)
In Laravel, I used Sanctum for API token auth, which plays well with SPA and mobile apps.

Login Controller

public function login(Request $request)
{
  $user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
  if (!$user || !Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) {
    return response()->json(['message' => 'Invalid credentials'], 401);
  }
  $token = $user->createToken('api-token')->plainTextToken;
  return response()->json(['token' => $token, 'user' => $user]);
}

Route Protection

Route::middleware(‘auth:sanctum’)->get(‘/orders’, [OrderController::class, ‘index’]);

User Roles & Permissions
Each user had a role field (user, admin, doctor, lab), and permissions were enforced via:

Middleware in Node.js (checkRole(‘admin’))

Gates in Laravel (Gate::define(‘is-admin’, …))

Payments Integration
I built the payment flow with Stripe and Razorpay, depending on the market. Both provided solid SDKs for web and mobile.

Node.js + Stripe

const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_KEY);

router.post('/create-checkout-session', async (req, res) => {
  const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
    payment_method_types: ['card'],
    line_items: req.body.items,
    mode: 'payment',
    success_url: `${YOUR_DOMAIN}/success`,
    cancel_url: `${YOUR_DOMAIN}/cancel`,
  });
  res.json({ id: session.id });
});

Laravel + Razorpay

use Razorpay\Api\Api;

public function initiatePayment(Request $request)
{
$api = new Api(env('RAZORPAY_KEY'), env('RAZORPAY_SECRET'));
$order = $api->order->create([
'receipt' => '123',
'amount' => $request->amount * 100,
'currency' => 'INR'
]);
return response()->json(['order_id' => $order['id']]);
}

Post-Payment Logic

After payment success:

  • Update order status (paid)
  • Send confirmation email
  • Trigger backend workflows (inventory, prescription check)

I also implemented webhook endpoints to verify payments and prevent tampering. Stripe and Razorpay both allow signature verification, which I used to validate the source.

Both stacks delivered secure, fast, and transparent payment experiences—critical in healthcare.

Testing & Deployment: Reliability From Local Dev to Production

Once the core modules were stable, I shifted focus to testing and deployment. In a healthcare app like this, bugs aren’t just annoying — they can be dangerous. I aimed for repeatable tests, smooth CI/CD, and a rock-solid production environment. Here’s how I approached it in both stacks.

JavaScript Stack: Node.js + React

Testing

  • Backend (Node.js): Used Jest + Supertest to write unit and integration tests for Express routes jsCopyEdit
test('GET /api/v1/medicines returns 200', async () => {
  const res = await request(app).get('/api/v1/medicines');
  expect(res.statusCode).toBe(200);
});
  • Frontend (React): React Testing Library and Cypress for UI and end-to-end flows
    • Unit tests for components like SearchBar, ProductCard
    • E2E tests for user signup → cart → checkout → confirmation

Deployment

  • Frontend deployed to Vercel with automatic GitHub integration
  • Backend hosted on DigitalOcean with PM2 and Nginx reverse proxy
  • CI/CD handled by GitHub Actions:
    • Linting, tests, and build checks on every push
    • Deploy to staging on develop branch
    • Deploy to production on main branch

Dockerization

I containerized both frontend and backend to ensure environment parity

  • Dockerfile for backend:
FROM node:18
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN npm install
CMD ["npm", "start"]
  • Docker Compose used for local dev with MongoDB, Redis, and Node services linked together

PHP Stack: Laravel

Testing

Unit & Feature Tests: Laravel’s built-in PHPUnit test runner made it straightforward

public function testMedicineListRouteReturnsSuccess()
{
  $response = $this->getJson('/api/v1/medicines');
  $response->assertStatus(200);
}
  • Browser Testing: Laravel Dusk for simulating user interactions (like file upload, cart checkout)

Deployment

  • Hosting: Deployed on VPS using Forge + Laravel’s CLI tooling
  • Web server: Apache or Nginx, depending on client infra
  • CI/CD:
    • GitHub Actions to trigger tests
    • Laravel Envoyer for zero-downtime deployment

Dockerization (Optional)

For teams wanting containerization, I used laravel/sail for local Docker environments.
Production containers used Alpine base for lean image sizes, with PHP-FPM + Nginx.

Monitoring & Logging

Both stacks integrated:

  • Sentry for error monitoring
  • LogRocket (React) or Laravel Telescope (PHP) for deep debugging
  • UptimeRobot and Cronitor for uptime and scheduled task monitoring

This setup gave me confidence with every deploy, knowing both environments were tested, versioned, and reproducible.

Pro Tips: Real-World Lessons from Building the 1mg Clone

No matter how clean your code is or how great your stack choices are, real-world use will test your assumptions. Here are the lessons I learned the hard way while building and launching this app—from speed issues to UX pitfalls and scalability surprises.

1. Plan for Mobile First—Not Just Responsive

Over 75% of users accessed the app from mobile devices. React + Tailwind made it easy to build mobile-first components, but the real challenge was touch ergonomics.
Make sure:

  • All key CTAs (Add to Cart, Checkout, Book Test) are thumb-accessible
  • Filters and search suggestions are scroll-friendly
  • Input forms (especially for consultations) are auto-tabbed and minimal

In Blade templates, I had to use media queries manually and optimize select dropdowns for mobile.

2. Cache Everything That Doesn’t Change Often

I introduced Redis caching for:

  • Static category lists
  • Frequently searched medicines
  • Lab test packages

In Laravel, I used:

Cache::remember('medicine_categories', 3600, function () {
return Category::all();
});

In Node.js, I cached using ioredis and set TTLs for each type of data. This shaved off 200ms+ on average for API response times.

3. Compress Images and Lazy Load Results

Initial pages with 20+ medicines or tests can choke mobile connections. I:

  • Compressed images via Cloudinary before upload
  • Used lazy loading on all image components (loading="lazy" in React or lazysizes in Blade)

This dropped load times from 3.6s to 1.9s on 4G.

4. Handle Prescriptions with Caution

A common UX mistake is accepting only one prescription format or forgetting upload validation.
I implemented:

  • PDF/image format checks
  • File size limit (max 2MB)
  • Auto-thumbnail preview for user confidence
  • Manual and auto-approval toggles for admins

Also added a fallback for users to skip upload and be called by a pharmacist—a helpful feature in regions with low digital adoption.

5. Prepare for Scale: Logs, Queues, Workers

In Laravel, I queued:

  • Email notifications
  • Invoice generation
  • Test result uploads

In Node.js, I used Bull with Redis for background jobs.

For example, when a lab result is uploaded:

  • Notify the user via email and in-app alert
  • Generate a PDF summary
  • Update test history

Without queues, these would slow down user-facing responses.

6. Edge Cases You Can’t Ignore

  • Users without a prescription trying to buy restricted meds
  • Cart expiring or item stock depleting mid-checkout
  • Lab tests available only in certain pin codes
  • Users ordering for family members (add secondary profiles)

I built each of these as a reusable submodule that could be turned on/off based on client needs.

Final Thoughts: When to Go Custom vs Clone—and Why Miracuves Works

After months of building, testing, tweaking, and deploying this 1mg clone across different tech stacks, one thing became clear—you don’t always need to reinvent the wheel to launch something meaningful. But you also don’t want a black-box script that limits your growth or tech choices.

If you’re a founder or agency looking to launch a pharmacy app like 1mg, you have two clear paths:

  • Go fully custom if you have a complex, unique use case, large budget, and in-house dev team. This gives you full control, but it takes time and money.
  • Start with a flexible clone solution if speed, affordability, and proven architecture matter more—and then customize from there.

This is exactly what we offer at Miracuves. Our 1mg clone isn’t a rigid PHP-only product or a no-code gimmick. It’s a production-ready codebase that supports both Node.js + React and Laravel (or CodeIgniter), meaning:

  • You choose the stack that fits your team
  • You get modules like search, consultation, orders, and admin already built
  • You can integrate 3rd-party APIs or go full manual from day one
  • You control how far you want to customize

From schema design to payments and CI/CD, everything is dev-approved, scalable, and maintainable—because I built it that way from scratch.

Whether you’re targeting India, the Middle East, or global markets, this clone app is built to adapt. It saves you months of engineering work and helps you focus on growth and partnerships instead of bugs and boilerplate.

FAQs: Answers for Founders Planning a 1mg Clone Launch

1. Can I use the Miracuves 1mg clone with my own branding and language preferences?

Absolutely. The system is fully white-label. You can replace logos, color themes, text, and even add RTL support for Arabic or Hebrew markets. React makes it easy on the frontend, and Laravel or Node can serve localized content.

2. What if I want only part of the 1mg feature set, like just the pharmacy or just lab tests?

The app is built modularly. You can disable or remove modules like doctor consultation or diagnostics at setup. The admin panel controls visibility, and the codebase supports toggling modules via env variables or settings.

3. How do I ensure that my platform meets local regulations around prescriptions and e-pharmacy sales?

While the clone provides technical tools—like prescription uploads, admin approval flows, and audit logs—compliance depends on your local laws. We recommend integrating it with a licensed pharmacist network and enabling prescription verification features where needed.

4. Is the platform mobile-friendly, or do I need to build separate Android/iOS apps?

The web app is fully mobile-responsive. However, for deeper engagement, we offer optional React Native wrappers or Flutter-based mobile apps that work with the same backend. These are fast to deploy and reuse your existing APIs.

5. Can I add new modules like subscription refills or health blogs later?

Yes. The database and code structure are designed to be extensible. You can add new collections/tables, UI components, and routes without touching core modules. Both Laravel and React projects follow clean architecture principles for future growth.
