Laravel and Wordpress

Hey all,

I am in the process of setting up an e-commerce store via WordPress and a dashboard created via Laravel for the dashboard.

My question is what do you guys would be the best way to accomplish this? to piggyback off from the WordPress login system to authenticate and handle that aspect to either grant or deny access to dashboard features.

I am very new to Laravel and started crafting apps and wanted to use this as my next project to get familiar with.

Eventually, I want to migrate everything from the Wordpress (e-commerce) + Laravel (dashboard) to EVERYTHING Laravel but that will take too long and I want to open the doors sooner than later so I can get the ball rolling on the business.
