KIARA HARDWARE & ELECTRONICS — INSTALLATION
==========================================
Target: https://sejal1.kiarahome.in
Stack: PHP 8.1+ / MySQL 8+ / Apache or cPanel hosting

INSTALL
1. Create a MySQL database and database user in cPanel. Grant ALL PRIVILEGES on that database.
2. Upload the ZIP contents into the subdomain document root for sejal1.kiarahome.in and extract.
3. Visit https://sejal1.kiarahome.in/install.php
4. Enter database host (usually localhost), database name, username and password. Create the first admin login.
5. Sign in, then remove install.php from the server after installation.
6. Enable HTTPS in cPanel. Set PHP timezone and configure payment provider keys before accepting live payments.

DEMO ADMIN
The installer creates the admin account you choose during setup. No hard-coded password.

INCLUDED
- Responsive storefront, search, category/subcategory browsing, product detail and session cart
- Checkout/order creation with COD, online-payment placeholder and EMI request option
- Login/registration, role-based staff dashboard
- Admin products/categories, inventory adjustment, orders/status updates, reports overview
- Staff roles: admin, accountant, manager, delivery, packaging, store
- Sample categories and products with local SVG images

IMPORTANT PRODUCTION NOTES
- Online payment gateway is not activated by default. Integrate Razorpay/Cashfree/PayU and verify payment signatures server-side before marking orders paid.
- EMI is captured as a request/selection only; lender/issuer eligibility and EMI checkout need a compliant provider integration.
- Configure SMTP, backups, privacy/terms/returns policies, GST/invoice rules and shipping rates before launch.
- Use strong DB credentials, HTTPS, least-privilege hosting, and remove install.php after setup.
- This is a functional starter system, not a certified accounting/ERP package. Review tax and statutory reports with your accountant.
