I am building a crm in laravel and vue js. I was thinking to add a marketplace to this crm where who wants extra services, for example, the use of payments like stripe or the use of multilanguage, etc. But I have never done this before and I think that to do this I have to create a module, let's say that I want the stripe to be in the marketplace and only those who buy the package can use it.
So stripe should be a plugin or module, I think, although I don't know the difference between plugin and mod in laravel, for what cases each one is used.
How can I build a package or module, so that after the users buy it, they can import it into CRM?
Or in case someone has the package as a .zip file and wants to import it into crm?
Anyone have an idea how this works? any documentation, tutorial? something?
If you just need to allow a user to access a specific functionality only if he paid for it, why don't you simply check for the payment and give access only if the user paid ?
Any functionality is accessed via a route, so you can protect the concerned routes with a middleware and you check for the payment inside the middleware.
@vincent15000 I'm thinking both ways.
But mostly I'm experimenting, since I've never done this, but I thought I'd try it. I mean, importing plugins or modules into the panel.
@Leon012 It depends on what you are able to do with Laravel.
what you are able to do with Laravel.
I dont know how to answrt this but, i think i need a logic how plugins or modules work and how to make a plugin or module for importing on crm if it needed.
Maybe any tutorial how do i start or a documentation, i have searxhed a lot on google by myself but not finding what i want
