Introduction

ServiceHub is a platform designed to connect service consumers and service providers, bridging the gap between the demand and supply of basic services. It offers a one-stop platform where services can be listed, compared, and booked.

Installation

1. From the prototype directory, run the following command:

   docker compose up --build

   Then both the front and backend should be running and you can reach the frontend at localhost:3000

Testing Payment

• For testing transition to the premium service we have in our app, stripe CLI has to be installed with a valid account in order to forward the webhooks from Stripe to the local server. For that please run in the terminal:

 stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:8080/webhook

• Then the new test key and the webhook secrets can be injected via

docker-compose up -d \
 -e STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=new_sk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
 -e STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=new_whsec_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Accessing existing user accounts

• Any account on the platform follows the credentials convention of:
• email: firstlastname@gmail.com
• password: securepassword

Creating new accounts

• We use OTPs to ensure that users who sign up for the platform do so with valid email addresses. To create a new account on the platform, make sure the email address can receive OTPs and other triggered emails, such as those for booking a service.

Accessing Admin account

• We have one admin account that is responsible for viewing user details but most importatntly, verifying the certificates of the service providers that they upload for their certificates.
• This account can be logged in using:
• email: servicehub.seba22@gmail.com
• Password: AdminServiceHub
