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 the 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 is using Bubble's Stripe plugin for payments.
1. The first step is to configure the Stripe dashboard, and the Stripe plugin within your editor. Please follow the Stripe payments instruction below to configure.
2. The second step is to configure the API Connector plugin within your editor.
Go to Plugins -> API Connector ->Stripe CUSTOM and hit to expand it, here:
The API will expand, and you will be able to configure it with your own API 🔑 keys, here:
Note: Add the Bearer keyword in front of the key values. And remember to change to Live keys when you decide to go live with your app.
Stripe CUSTOM API has 2 action calls:
- Retrieve all invoices (list) - allows revealing all invoices on the home page, in Group All invoices.
- Retrieve a customer's sources - allows displaying payment source on the home page, in Group Money Source
Tip: Genuine card information cannot be used in test mode. Instead, use test Stripe cards credentials.
In order to make the Sign in with Google option work properly, it is required to configure the Google plugin within your Bubble editor.
Air Twitter API Lite Plugin
Note: The template comes with the following plugin - Air Twitter API Lite Plugin - that enables tweet posting on behalf of any user.
Note: To find out how to properly set up this plugin, please consult the plugin's supporting documentation: https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/air-twitter-api-lite
One Signal - Push Notifications Plugin
It is required to configure the One Signal - Push Notifications plugin within your Bubble editor.
One Signal - Push Notifications: See the documentation on how to set the One Signal - Push Notifications in Bubble.
Remove Demo Login
This template comes with demo accounts and demo buttons for testing purposes, which do not require a full sign-up process in order to test the platform features. Feel free to delete these login options in your app.
Tip: Please note that deleting the demo buttons will delete the button workflows as well. Removing these demo options doesn't affect any other aspect of the template.
Bufferly is using 2 demo logins:
- Demo Login, to see ordinary user available functionality
- Demo Admin, to see admin user available functionality
- Both of them you can delete by going to the
loginandsign_uppages and deleting the "Demo Login" and "Demo Admin" buttons:
Remove Banner
This template comes with a promotional banner above the Header element. Feel free to remove it from your app.
