Online droplet - StretchShop/StretchShop GitHub Wiki
This is easy option to run your own shop online. StretchShop has its own 1-click droplet on DigitalOcean. That means, that if you want to have your own "ready to use" e-shop filled with demo data, but don't want to set up all the server things, get it on DigitalOcean - your own e-shop with hosting for $6 per month (+domain).
To use this this option you need to:
- Register on DigitalOcean,
- Create StretchShop droplet from their Marketplace. That gives you running StretchShop instance with demo data (products, pages, default admin user).
- Change admin password!
If you want to use it for production, you need to:
- For online payment options PayPal and Stripe, you need to register on their sites first and acquire API keys, paste them to
.env
file and restart site withpm2 restart all
command in terminal. - Clear demo data and place your own content and products.
You don't need to have skills for setting up StretchShop on server, but you should be programmer, that knows StretchShop tech stack and how to use PM2 process manager.
