Article Summary

If you are using the Candy Shop for the first time, please review the instructions below. This example follows a user installing Events, but the steps are the same for Payments, Compliance, and Messaging.

Are you a Government Cloud user?

If you are a Government Cloud user setting up Events or PayLink for the first time or creating a new Sandbox, please contact Blackthorn Support before starting the process.


If you are installing Events for the first time, the installer will automatically install the Base Package first, then Payments, and lastly Events. If either Base Package or Payments are already installed, the installer will ensure the correct versions are installed or upgraded before installing Events.
