How this desk works

Everything saves to MySQL on your hosting. Publishing writes gid_catalog.json so the app (and later the website) share one catalogue. Customer orders appear under Orders.

  1. Add categories first
  2. Add products with photos and variations
  3. Set banners / trending / WhatsApp / payments
  4. Click Save & publish to app

Orders

Orders placed from the Gift In Day app, with customer and delivery details.

No orders yet.

Catalogue

Products

Add gifts with prices, photos, and customer choices (colour, size, customization).

New product

Filled automatically (GID-0001, GID-0002…). You can edit it.

Website / SEO (for the future website — app still uses the name above)

Leave blank to use the product name and description. Adding these later does not delete existing products.

Build the list under Focus keywords. Tapping a chip attaches it to this product for the website.

Tick a parent to add the parent, all of its subcategories, and the parent name as a focus keyword. Tick only a subcategory to add that sub plus its parent.

Upload multiple pictures. All photos show on the product page (swipe). First photo is the thumbnail.

Customer choices (variations)

Tick a library set below, then click Save product. The app only shows choices that are saved on this product. Creating a set on Variation library does nothing until it is attached to a product.

Variation library

Name a set of choices once (for example Balloons add-on) and reuse it on any product. Applying copies the groups onto the product so you can still customise that product afterwards.

New variation set

Build groups and sub-choices here, then tick the products that should use this set. Save — that copies the choices onto those products for the app.

If no product is ticked, the app will not show these choices on any product.

Order confirmation email

When a customer places an order in the app, they receive an email from your Hostinger webmail with order details. SMTP stays on the server — not in the app.

Password is saved in panel data on the server only. It is never published to the app catalog.

Placeholders: {orderId}, {name}, {total}

Every new app order emails the customer first, then this address with the same items, qty, and total.

Commerce

WhatsApp & contact

Numbers used for order help and payment proof.

System

Website SEO

Homepage Google title, Analytics, and sitemap. The shop website (later) reads these from the same catalog as the app. Empty product SEO fields still work — they fall back to the product name.

Used in sitemap.xml. Until the website exists you can leave this as giftinday.com.

Publishing also writes sitemap.xml and robots.txt on this panel domain.

System

Change password

Set a new admin password. It is saved on the server and is not lost when you update panel code files.

Tip: after changing, log out once and sign in with the new password.

System

Backup

Download products (Excel) or a full JSON backup. Restore the same file to bring products and variations back.

Excel / CSV / JSON restore writes products into MySQL in batches. Publish of settings happens automatically after import.
