Setup Guide

This guide is the beginning of the documentation with the built-in Notes for the database. Will help you gain a better understanding of how the template and Bubble works.

Starting with the template

Once you have bought or added a template to your account, you will see a dropdown in the New Application popup that lets you pick a template as the basis for the new application.

Note: this can only be done when you create a new app.

After you've selected a template you bought, complete the other fields with necessary data (i.e: Name of the new app, What kind of application you are building, etc) and press Create a new app.

Note: A template isn't a theme for your app, but a pre-built set of elements and workflows. You can modify the template as you would modify another app.

Wait for Bubble to load the application with all the data.

After the application has loaded, you'll see the Bubble Assistant on the left side for New Application. You can close it or follow the assistant steps to adjust different settings.

Payments

This template is using Braintree for payments.

The first step is to go to https://www.paypal.com/braintree and create an account.

To see how to set up Braintree, please refer to :

Note: You will be allowed to access your dashboard once you have successfully verified your email address and activated your account.

Removing the Demo version

This template comes with demo logins for testing purposes, which do not require a full registration process in order to test the platform features. Feel free to delete these login options in your app.

It is using 3 demo logins: Demo as a Customer, Demo as an Seller, and Demo as an Admin

Go to login page and delete the "Demo as ..." buttons

Hobbies

  • Hobbies allow users to personalize their profiles and improve matching accuracy.

  • Admins must create a list of hobbies in the database before launching the app.

  • Users can select hobbies during profile creation, helping the algorithm suggest compatible matches.

Subscriptions (Matchly Premium)

  • Matchly offers a premium subscription for users who want additional features like:

    • Seeing who liked them

  • Admins must create subscription plans, set pricing, and integrate PayPal (Braintree) for payment processing.

Gender Options

  • Users must select their gender and preferred match gender when creating an account.

  • Admins should set up gender categories (e.g., Male, Female, Non-Binary, etc.) in the system for accurate matching.

Admin Account

  • At least one admin account must be created to manage the platform.

  • The admin dashboard allows monitoring of platform activity, managing reported users, modifying pricing, and handling support requests.

Super Like Packs

  • Admins must create Super Like packs with different pricing options (e.g., 5 Super Likes, 10 Super Likes, etc.).

  • Purchases are processed via PayPal (Braintree) for secure transactions.

Note: See the instructions on how to grant Admin Rights in this template.
