How to Quickly Open an Online Shop with Dujiaoka?

Do you want to be your own boss? Do you want financial freedom? Who doesn't?

So have you decided what to sell? Your time? Your skills? Or your soul?

Thanks to the internet, the bar for starting a business has become very low. You can get rich just by selling a string of numbers. Activation codes, game top-up cards, and recharge cards you see all over web pages are just strings of digits, yet they can sell for tens, hundreds, or even thousands of yuan.

Opening a shop like this doesn't require tens of thousands of yuan in investment. You just need a server, and you can set up an online convenience store with the Dujiaoka project.

#What is Dujiaoka?

Simply put, Dujiaoka is a small dynamic website framework. It includes a complete storefront frontend, a database backend, payment interfaces, a card-delivery interface, and an admin management system. Among card-selling projects, it's a pretty good-looking Web project that a fair number of people use. In short, if you want to open an online card-selling shop, Dujiaoka will definitely be a top recommendation in search engines.

#What is the card-selling model?

The card-selling model is also jokingly called the "internet convenience store" project. On a website, you obtain some card codes through various methods, and then sell those codes to your customers through payment interfaces. You might ask, what kind of password makes money like that? You could write some guides and then set a password to restrict reading, and then sell that password in your little store. Isn't that the simplest form of content monetization?

Or, for example, you could use some clever tricks to legally obtain game cards, such as QQ memberships, WeChat memberships, game top-up cards, game activation codes, software activation codes, and even recharge cards, such as phone top-up cards, data top-up cards, and game recharge cards. Then you sell those card codes to your customers through payment interfaces. That's the card-selling model.

And Dujiaoka is a pretty good open-source card-selling website program.

#Installing Dujiaoka

The official documentation is already very detailed, and the author writes in a lively and interesting way. (I'm definitely not going to copy the whole original text and then add a few pictures and claim I wrote it myself.)

#Common issues

The purpose of this article is only to record some of the problems and lessons I picked up along the way.

1. When creating the project in BT Panel (Baota), remember to tick the option to create a database.

2. Don't trust content from reposting accounts or video creators. Using the official code package directly will save you a lot of trouble. Official source: Github

Pick any code archive from the project and drag it into the BT Panel to extract it.

3. Fill in the backend configuration by referring to the screenshot below. The Redis line can be left blank. Fill in the database settings as you normally would.
