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.

Congrats! You have successfully created a Bubble app based on your template. Now, you can proceed with the setups.

Payments

This template is using Stripe for payments.

The first step is to go to https://stripe.com and create an account.

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

You can now configure the Stripe dashboard and the Stripe plugin within your editor.

Payments: See the documentation on how to set Stripe Payments on Bubble.

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 Freelancer, Demo as an Employer, and Demo as an Admin

Go to login and mobile-login pages and delete the "Demo Login" buttons

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