Installation

This guide assumes you already run Paymenter locally or on a server and obtained Venom from an authorized marketplace (BuiltByBit  or SourceXchange ). Venom is independent of the Paymenter core team; support for the theme is through Mauro Gashfix on Discord (@maurogashfix) — see Support & purchase.

1. Prerequisites

2. Obtain the theme files

Venom must come from your purchase on BuiltByBit or SourceXchange. Use the download or delivery method described in your order (ZIP, resource update, etc.).

Place the theme so your Paymenter tree contains:

themes/venom/
  theme.php
  views/
  css/
  js/
  vite.config.js
  ...

theme.php registers the theme name and admin settings Paymenter reads when you select the theme.

Do not use unofficial copies from forums or re-uploads; they may be unsafe, outdated, and ineligible for support.

3. Enable the theme

  1. Log in to the Paymenter admin panel.
  2. Open Settings (or Appearance / Theme, depending on your Paymenter version).
  3. Set the active theme to venom (the directory name under themes/).
  4. Save. Clear config/cache if your deployment uses php artisan config:cache.

The storefront and client layouts will resolve views from themes/venom/views/.

4. File permissions

Ensure the web server can read themes/venom/ and that compiled assets under public/venom/ (after build) are readable. Do not mark theme sources as non-readable for the PHP user.

5. Verify

  • Open the homepage: you should see the Venom landing (vt-landing layout).
  • Open login / register: split layout with optional panel and marketplace images if configured.
  • Open dashboard (authenticated): Venom dashboard cards and sidebar snapshot.

If pages look unstyled, you have not built or deployed frontend assets — continue to Build assets.

For help after purchase, use Support & purchase (Discord @maurogashfix; full install/configuration via BuiltByBit installation plan if needed).
