}What is a ChargePanda module?
Modules are self-contained Laravel packages that integrate directly with the ChargePanda core — adding admin pages, account portal UI, database tables, background jobs, and API endpoints.
Self-contained package
Each module has its own migrations, service provider, views, and routes — all isolated from the core. Modules can't break each other.
Dependency system
Declare dependencies in module.json. The module manager resolves and validates them at activation — no broken installs.
Zero-downtime install
Customers upload a ZIP or click install. Migrations run automatically. Service provider registers. No server restart required.
Module anatomy
A module is a standard Laravel package with a ChargePanda manifest. If you can write a Laravel service provider, you can build a module.

}What you get access to
Everything you need to build a production-grade module without reinventing infrastructure.
Core events
OrderPaid, LicenseActivated, SubscriptionRenewed, SubscriptionCancelled, TicketCreated — all fired with full model data. Listen in your service provider, trigger anything.
Admin panel nav
Register sidebar entries, sub-nav sections, and dashboard widgets via AdminNavService. Your module feels native to the admin panel.
Account portal UI
Add pages to the customer-facing account portal. Customers see your module's UI alongside their orders, licenses, and subscriptions — same design system.
Background jobs
Dispatch jobs on the shared queue worker. Long-running tasks (AI processing, report generation, email sequences) run asynchronously without blocking requests.
REST API extension
Register new endpoints under /api/modules/{slug}/. Full middleware stack, authentication, and rate limiting inherited from the core.
Settings storage
Declare settings in module.json. ChargePanda auto-generates an admin settings UI and stores values in the settings table. No boilerplate.
Full Composer ecosystem
Your module is a standard Laravel package. Use any Composer dependency — Guzzle, Spatie, OpenAI PHP — without conflicts.
Migrations & rollback
Module migrations run on activation, roll back on deactivation. Clean installs and clean uninstalls, every time.
Study a real module
The Envato Integration module is open for inspection once installed. Use it as a working reference implementation.
Envato purchase-code verification, license key issuance, OAuth login, and auto-claim. Shows how to build API-integrated modules with event hooks, admin CRUD, and customer account portal sections.
