Installation

Manual Installation

You can use composer to install the plugins, however, keep in mind that you've to install and migrate the dependent packages first before installing and migrating Winter.Mall itself.

Installing dependencies:

composer require winter/user-plugin
composer require winter/location-plugin
composer require winter/translate-plugin

php artisan migrate

Installing Winter.Mall:

composer require winter/wn-mall-plugin

php artisan migrate

Optional Dependencies

Certain features of the Winter.Mall plugin requires you to install additional composer packages to make everything work.

Feature	Package
File-Based Index	offline/jsonq tmarois/filebase
Google Merchant Feed	vitalybaev/google-merchant-feed
PostFinance Payment Provider	bummzack/omnipay-postfinance

Simple use the following command in the root directory of your WinterCMS website to install the desired package.

composer require <$package_name>

CAUTION

We do not provide other payments providers packages ourselves.
You need to install them manually if you want to use them.
If your project requires additional payment providers gateways, ask the WinterCMS community for guidance, some of them are available as independent winter plugins (free or paid).

Check your Installation

After you successfully installed all plugins and packages, you can run the mall:check artisan command to validate your installation.

Don't panic! After the initial installation there will be some items that are marked as FAIL. This is because we didn't configure the plugin yet.

php artisan mall:check

TIP

You can run this command at any time in the future to make sure everything is set up correctly.

Demo data

To get a feeling for how Winter.Mall works, you can run the following command to pre-populate your installation with demo data.

php artisan mall:seed-demo

WARNING

This will erase all shop data and reset all settings! Do not run this command if you have already configured your installation.

You can also simple reset the whole Winter.Mall installation by running the following command.

php artisan plugin:refresh Winter.Mall
