Admin Dashboard
Welcome to the admin area. From here you can manage servers, payments, and site settings.
Quick usage notes
- The Manage Servers & Services page allows enabling/disabling nodes and editing service rows.
- The Invoice History page reads JSON payment records from
- The Edit Site Config page edits
_website/includes/config.inc.php. Edits create a timestamped backup before saving.
Sandbox account (testing)
Use PayPal sandbox credentials when testing payments. Set your sandbox client_id and client_secret in modules/billing/includes/config.inc.php (the $paypal_client_id and $paypal_client_secret variables). Set $paypal_sandbox = false for live payments.
- Create a sandbox business account at PayPal Developer and obtain a sandbox client ID/secret.
- Update the payment handler config and restart the webserver if required.
- Run a checkout using the PayPal JS button on the checkout page — after payment completes, the webhook will record a JSON file into
- If you need to simulate a webhook locally, drop a JSON file with the same schema into the
data/ folder (we added a sample: SIMULATED-WEBHOOK-*.json).
Payments: high-level program flow
- User adds an item and proceeds to checkout (
_website/cart.php).
- The checkout page renders the PayPal JS SDK and calls server-side endpoints (create_order/capture_order).
- After a successful capture, PayPal sends a webhook event to
_website/webhook.php (or the equivalent handler under _website/api/).
- The webhook verifies the signature, fetches any missing order details, and writes a JSON record to the
data/ directory (this powers invoices.php and return.php).
- On successful payment we mark the order as PAID in the JSON and the site UI (invoices/returns) reads those JSONs to render receipts.
- Admin pages can view invoices at
./invoices.php and reconcile or trigger further provisioning via internal panel APIs.
