Quick Start

Fastest verified path to run the project with all core features available.

1. Requirements

2. Local Install (One Command)

make setup

What this does:

• Creates .env from .env.example (if missing)
• Installs Composer dependencies
• Installs npm dependencies
• Runs php artisan app:install --skip-dependencies
  • Generates app key
  • Runs migrations + seeders
  • Creates storage link
  • Builds frontend assets

Then start the app:

php artisan serve

Open:

• App: http://127.0.0.1:8000
• Admin: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
• Super Admin: http://127.0.0.1:8000/super

3. First-Run Web Installer (Optional)

If the app is not initialized, you are redirected to /install.

For non-local use, allow it explicitly in .env:

ALLOW_WEB_INSTALLER=true

4. Login Accounts

5. Essential Post-Install Configuration

STRIPE_SECRET=sk_test_...
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...

Comprehensive admin controls for managing affiliates.

• Enabled Affiliate System — backend tracking works
• Disabled Dashboard Display — users cannot see affiliate links/stats
• Disabled Not All Users Can Be Affiliates — only explicit affiliate accounts

Admin Controls

What Gets Hidden?

How to Enable for Users

1. Go to Admin Panel → Website Settings → Affiliate
2. Toggle "Show Affiliate Info in User Dashboard" to ON
3. Click Save

Auto-Creation of Affiliate Accounts

When "Allow All Users to be Affiliates" is enabled, users visiting /affiliate automatically get an affiliate account with a unique 8-character slug and default commission rate.

Database

Settings stored in settings table with group affiliate:

affiliate.enabled
affiliate.show_in_dashboard
affiliate.allow_all_users
affiliate.default_commission_percent
affiliate.min_commission_percent
affiliate.max_commission_percent
affiliate.terms_url

Routes

• /affiliate — Affiliate dashboard (auth + enabled settings)
• /a/{slug} — Affiliate tracking link (redirects to /register with cookie)

Whitelist Module

Control early access with email whitelisting.

For Super Admins

For Visitors

Whitelist Mode (Enforcement)

When enabled: user registers → system checks whitelist_emails table → if NOT whitelisted, registration blocked.
