Installation

Requirements

• Botble CMS version 7.6.0 or higher
• PHP version 8.2 or higher
• Active E-commerce plugin
• MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+

Installation Steps

Step 1: Download the Plugin

Download the Ecommerce Preorder plugin from CodeCanyon after purchase.

Step 2: Upload to Server

Extract the downloaded zip file and upload the ecommerce-preorder folder to:

platform/plugins/ecommerce-preorder

Your directory structure should look like:

platform/
└── plugins/
    └── ecommerce-preorder/
        ├── config/
        ├── database/
        ├── resources/
        ├── routes/
        ├── src/
        └── plugin.json

Step 3: Activate the Plugin

1. Go to Admin > Plugins
2. Find Ecommerce Preorder in the plugins list
3. Click the Activate button

The plugin will run database migrations automatically and create the required tables.

Step 4: Activate Your License

1. Go to Preorder > Settings in the admin sidebar
2. Enter your purchase code in the license field at the top of the page
3. Click Activate

Step 5: Verify Installation

1. Go to Preorder > Products — you should see an empty list ready for preorder products
2. Go to Preorder > Settings — you should see the settings form

Troubleshooting

Plugin not appearing in the Plugins list

• Ensure the folder is named exactly ecommerce-preorder
• Check that all files were uploaded correctly
• Clear the cache: go to Admin > Platform Administration > Cache management and click Clear all CMS cache

Dependency error

The E-commerce plugin must be installed and activated first. Preorder requires it to function.

Database migration issues

Run migrations manually:

php artisan migrate

Or deactivate and reactivate the plugin in Admin > Plugins to re-run migrations.

Next Steps

1. Configure preorder settings
2. Create your first preorder product
