Installation / Configuration Process

1. Use the included billing.sql file to create the three new tables, 'billing-config', 'billing-plans', and 'billing-customers' within your existing VWI database.

   Note: If you used a table prefix other than 'vwi_' you must change the table names in the billing.sql files to your specified prefix.

2. Connect your Stripe account by entering your Secret API Key and Public API Key in the 'sec_key' and 'pub_key' fields of the 'billing-config' table.

   You may enter a test secret and public API key in these fields to test your installation and plans.

   Alternatively, you may enter a Restricted API key in place of the Secret API Key to restrict access from the VWI endpoint to only the necessary Stripe functions.

   To use a Restricted API Key, create a new key in your Stripe developer console with the following permissions:

   Read Access:

   • Invoices

   Write Access:

   • Customers
   • Plans
   • Products
   • Subscriptions
   • Tokens

3. Upload the 'billing' and billing-client' folders to your VWI 'plugins' folder.

4. Activate the plugin by adding billing,billing-client to your plugins list.
