Compatibility

What Blast needs, what it bundles, and what it does not depend on.

Supported versions

Component	Requirement	Notes
Paymenter	1.5.8 or newer	Tested on 1.5.8 and 1.5.9
PHP	8.3 or 8.4	Matches Paymenter's own requirement; tested on 8.3
Laravel	12.x, shipped by Paymenter	Blast does not pin Laravel
Livewire	3.x, shipped by Paymenter	Used for interactive pages
Filament	5.x, shipped by Paymenter	Only for the extension's admin pages
Node.js	Not required	Assets ship pre-built
Database	Any Paymenter-supported database	MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite

Blast does not modify Paymenter core files, so it follows Paymenter's own update cycle safely.

PHP extensions

Blast needs everything Paymenter already requires, plus nothing extra. In practice that is the standard Paymenter set, all present in the official Paymenter Docker image.

Extension	Used for
intl	Paymenter core
json	Paymenter core
mbstring	Strings, slugs, transliteration
openssl	Encryption, HTTPS
pdo plus a driver (pdo_mysql, pdo_pgsql or pdo_sqlite)	Database
curl	Paymenter core, and Blast's optional status monitors
gd or imagick	Paymenter core, for images

No extra PHP extension is required by Blast itself.

What is bundled

Front-end libraries

Library	Purpose
Alpine.js	Dropdowns, menus, preview and the command palette
Alpine anchor and collapse plugins	Anchored dropdown positioning, accordions and mobile menus
Tailwind CSS 4	The utility layer of the theme
EasyMDE	The markdown editor used by Paymenter's admin pages, styled to match

Alpine is not bundled separately — it comes from Paymenter's own Livewire distribution, which guarantees version parity with the host application.

Icons, flags and artwork

• Lucide — the default line-icon set, bundled with the theme and rendered inline with no network fetch.
• Remix Icon — available through Paymenter's own icon package, used as the fallback set.
• Flags — bundled locally, so the language switcher makes no external requests.
• Artwork — isometric hardware renders ship as WebP. No stock photography, no external image service.

Fonts

Loaded from Google Fonts on demand, and only the two fonts you pick in Style. If your store must avoid external requests, choose the System font for both.

Composer packages

Blast adds no Composer packages. It uses only what Paymenter already ships — Laravel, Livewire, Filament, Blade Icons and the HTTP client.

Browser support

Browser	Version
Chrome / Edge	Last 2 major versions
Firefox	Last 2 major versions (115+ ESR is fine)
Safari	16+ on desktop and iOS
Mobile	iOS Safari 16+, Chrome for Android

Blast uses CSS custom properties, :has(), container-relative masks, backdrop-filter and color-mix(), all well supported in these versions. prefers-reduced-motion is fully honoured.

Licensing

Asset	License
Blast theme and extension — code and design	Commercial, © Krapple Studios
Lucide icons	ISC
Remix Icon	Apache-2.0, via Paymenter's package
Flag icons	MIT
Alpine.js, Tailwind, EasyMDE	MIT and their respective open-source licenses
Google Fonts	SIL Open Font License, served by Google

Rebuilding the assets

This only applies if you want to change the theme's CSS or JavaScript source. A normal install never needs it — the compiled assets ship in the package.

Node.js 22 or newer is required, along with Vite and Tailwind 4. Run the build inside a Node environment that has the theme's vite.config.js and Paymenter's root package.json:

npm install
npm run build blast

Output lands in public/blast/. Afterwards, clear the compiled views:

php artisan view:clear
