Bagisto Pet Commerce<\/strong> makes it easier to build and manage a pet store storefront with Bagisto<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pet store owner we spoke to had the catalog ready before the site was: forty kinds of kibble, eleven chew toys, a spreadsheet of suppliers, and a homepage that still said “Your Store Name Here”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blocker was never the products. It was that every change to the front page, whether a new banner, a seasonal grid or a category tile, meant opening a Blade file and hoping nothing else broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bagisto Pet Commerce is the answer to that problem. It ships as the Waggin<\/strong> theme: a storefront package for Bagisto<\/a>, the open-source Laravel eCommerce platform, with a pet-shaped home page assembled from seventeen editable sections, a mega menu that carries category imagery, four settings groups that appear only when the theme is live, and an installable PWA storefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the full guide. Part one gets the theme running, part two covers every screen you will touch in the admin, part three walks the storefront flow by flow from the home page to a placed order, and part four collects the operating details that are easier to know than to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Getting the theme running<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow these steps to set up the Waggin Theme extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merge the package<\/strong>
Unzip the extension and merge its packages\/Webkul folder into your Bagisto project root so the package lives at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

packages\/Webkul\/Waggin<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Register the PSR-4 namespace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the root composer.json and add the following line under the autoload.psr-4 section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"Webkul\\\\Waggin\\\\": "packages\/Webkul\/Waggin\/src"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Dump the autoloader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
composer dump-autoload<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Register the service provider<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Bagisto service providers are registered in bootstrap\/providers.php. Add the following entry to the returned array:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Webkul\\Waggin\\Providers\\WagginServiceProvider::class,<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Run the installer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
php artisan waggin-theme:install<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Activating Bagisto Pet Commerce on a channel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Installed is not the same as active. Bagisto 2.4 keeps a theme gallery at Apperence -> Themes<\/strong> and a theme goes live only when a channel points at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Activating<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Pick Waggin, choose the channels, confirm. Three things are worth knowing :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
