• By now, you have installed all the dependencies and also created copy of the .env file.

Setting up Environment Configurations

• In the .env file, add database information to allow Laravel to connect to the database, fill in the DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD options to match the credentials of the local database you created.
• Place your Blockonomics API Key in the Blockonomics_API field. This will allow us to run migrations in the next step.

Blockonomics Website Setup

• Create your Blockonomics payment button. Get the button code to paste in the html page from step 01.
• Head to this line and replace the payment button code with your code.
• Go to OPTIONS in the PAYMENT BUTTONS/URL tab on merchants page. You need to setup the ORDER HOOK URL and Redirection URL.
• To test the code locally, follow instructions from this video and make sure to place the <domain>/receive as your order hook url and <domain>/home as redirection url. Here <domain> is the domain you get from reverse proxy (Ngrok/localtunnel).
• Make sure to save your changes!
