Checklist: a test store this afternoon

You need a live URL to send traffic to before end of day — not a proposal, not a staging login, a real checkout on your domain.

What this is

This checklist covers VPS rent, NitroCart deploy via Mini App or desktop deployer, Render setting, Theme settings, payment URL, Cloudflare DNS, and Telegram ops — zero to live store in one afternoon.

How it works in NitroCart

• VPS: Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 with SSH access.
• Deploy: Mini App (~5 min) or desktop deployer (~8–20 min).
• Content: catalog or landing product plus Checkout settings.
• Domain: Cloudflare A record; SSL on deploy.
• Ops: Telegram bot connected before traffic lands.

Who it is for

• Media buyers with a creative approved today.
• Founders validating an offer before building custom software.
• Agencies demoing a live storefront to a client Friday afternoon.

Workflow

1. Rent VPS and note root SSH credentials.
2. Run Mini App deploy or desktop deployer with IP allowlist.
3. Add one product, set Render setting and Theme settings.
4. Paste payment URL in Checkout settings; place test order.
5. Point domain via Cloudflare and enable Telegram notifications.

FAQ

License before deploy?

Yes — purchase license; Engine settings → License shows VALID after.

Test without real domain?

Use VPS IP temporarily; switch DNS later without reinstall.

Forgot backup?

Engine settings → Backup after first config — before going live.
