Connecting Front End to Backend

How to connect a customer facing website to the admin dashboard

The Curios web3 tools in the admin dashboard allow you to easily deploy smart contracts so you can mint, sell, or gift NFT collections on any of our supported blockchains. These tools are located our back-end website, which we will refer to as the admin dashboard.

Curios provides every license with an automatically deployed customer facing website. This site can serve as your sales pages, landing pages, marketing or story telling pages, and as an overall marketplace for your NFTs. Essentially, this is the website your customers will see and interact on.

The front end website displays any information on the backend so that your customers can access your NFT's and marketing information in an easy to digest way.

Both Pages can be easily visualized below

Backend Example

Front End Example

Your backend page will just be yourname.curios.com/admin
Your front end page will be yourname.curios.com

Any NFTs that you publish on the backend will show up on your front end website, any customer registrations or sales that happen on the front end website will automatically populate on the backend site.

You can access your front end anytime by simply removing the /admin from the url on your backend page or by clicking the arrow located on the dashboard page at near the top next to the password.

All front end pages are initially password gated so you have time to arrange your NFTs and descriptions before they are publically viewable. To remove a password from your front end site, simply click the remove password button at the top of the admin dashboard and the public can now view your site.

Use your own domain for your front end

To use your own domain for your front end, go to your domain management tool (the place you purchased the domain from) and point your CNAME record to app.curios.com
After you point the CNAME, go to the admin dashboard and on the left side tool menu find Domain Manager

Once in the domain manager tool, click the blue button in the top right corner Add Domain

This will pop up a form field that contains the following

Domain Name will be the exact domain that you want instead of the autogenerated yourname.curios.com domain
From Name will be the name that any autogenerated emails from the Curios system will be sent from.
From Email will be the email address that any autogenerated emails will come from.
Primary Domain sets this url as the main address for your site

Hit save changes, and your domain will now be available for your customer facing website.
