How to's & FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
How to create a site
- Select a starting point via the site marketplace
(free options, including Drupal CMS, available) - Launch a free demo or a hosted site
- See your new site on your dashboard!
How to interact with my site(s)
- Visit your dashboard by clicking 'Manage' in the main menu.
- Choose an appropriate 'Site action' next to your site, such as:
- Generate login link (drush uli)
- Clear Drupal cache (drush cr)
- Point domain to site
- And more!
- Submit the action. If applicable, the output will display as a status message!
Can I list my site on the marketplace if it was based on someone else's paid site?
- Wow - what an insightful question. I was hoping you'd ask this! The answer is Yes, and
- Yes, and the customer will pay
YourSitesPrice + OriginalSitesPrice. - The original creator will be paid the price they set, and you will be paid the price you set. Everyone benefits!
How to list a site on the marketplace
- If you plan to charge money for your sites: Connect your Drupito account to Stripe. If you don't already have a Stripe account approval may take a few days.
- Whether your site is free or paid, create a hosted trial site:
- Select a starting point via the site marketplace. You can build on top of either a free or paid starter! (see previous question for detail)
- You must choose the "Hosted site" option. Select the "Trial Site" hosting plan for minimal costs. See the next bullet if you wonder why this is required.
- Why do I have to pay for a trial site? Because, it includes the following:
- Automatic updates and upgrades
- Free demo environments for your potential customers
- Security, hosting, maintenance, and distribution
- Marketing - we will advertise our marketplace at non-Drupal events
- Build your site normally. Ensure you are adding value to the original site template, or your site will be removed from the public marketplace.
- When your site is ready to be used by others, and when your Stripe account is approved, click "Create Site Starter".
- Set prices for users to buy and/or rent your site.
- (yes, rent - subscription income FTW!).
- If you set 0 for both (buy & rent) prices, your site will be available for free.
- If you set 0 for rent, and non-zero for buy, your site will only be available for purchase - not rent.
- If you set 0 for buy, and non-zero for rent, your site will be available for rent (hosted on Drupito). This is the only scenario where a marketplace site will not be exportable.
- The platform will automatically list your site on the marketplace - including the trial site and fast demo environments.
