After installing, visit Platform → Readiness as a Super Admin. This checklist reflects the platform’s actual live state — it is not a static onboarding wizard, and every item re-checks itself each time you load the page.
Required items
These two must pass — they aren’t really “checks” so much as confirmation the install itself succeeded:
- Application installed — the installer completed successfully.
- Active Super Admin account — at least one Super Admin exists and is enabled.
Recommended items
These show as a warning rather than a hard failure — the platform runs without them, but each represents something a real production deployment should have in place:
| Item | Why it matters | Where to fix it |
|---|---|---|
| Debug mode | Debug mode left on in production can leak stack traces and internal paths to visitors. | Your server’s .env file (APP_DEBUG=false) |
| HTTPS | Login, OTP codes, and every form submission should travel encrypted. | Your hosting provider’s SSL/TLS settings |
| Outgoing email | Without it, OTP codes, notifications, and form confirmations can’t be delivered. | Communications → Email Settings |
| Payment provider | Needed before Commerce can accept real orders. | Platform → Payment Settings |
| Site branding | Logo, site name, and contact details customers actually see. | Settings |
| Scheduler | Drives license re-validation, update checks, and the outgoing mail queue. | See Scheduler & Cron |
| License activated | Required before update checks/installs will work. | Platform → License |
None of the “recommended” items block you from using the platform. Treat the checklist as a pre-launch review, not a gate.
