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.
💡
Tip: 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 and dive into Bubble no-code development toolset.

Payments

Card payments in this template are powered by Stripe using the default card checkout providing a secure environment for users. To set up your Stripe account, 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.
This template uses the Bubble's Stripe plugin for payments. Please follow the Stripe payments instructions below to configure.
⚠️
Payments: See our documentation on how to set Stripe Payments in a Bubble App.
Additionally, this template has an optional and alternative payment method set using - Stripe Marketplace Plugin.
Note: The payment plugin can be changed on the admin page under the Overview Tab as an application owner. Just use the toggle. If you do not want to use it, please simply remove the plugin from the template.

Note: To use Stripe Marketplace Plugin you will need to either subscribe to it to obtain the license or purchase the license.

🔌 API Connections

Ridely Template has an integrated API Google connection. The API returns the recommended route between the start and endpoints calculated by the Google Maps API.
It is used to calculate the travel distance and time between 2 points on the map (start and endpoint) provided by one of the Google Maps APIs.
It may need to be adjusted to work with Google service if Bubble drops the values for connection.
