MINT Guides
Build apps and websites for your business
MINT gives your organization projects — apps and websites — where you describe the things you keep track of and get a ready admin for them: tables, forms, filters, a dashboard. Then open them to your own site or app, with sign-in for your customers and analytics for your visitors. These guides cover all of it.

Getting started
Sign up, find your way around, and go from an empty project to your first page of records.
Your account & security
Your profile and password, two-step sign-in with passkeys and codes, your signed-in devices, how the panel looks, and the MINT app for your phone.
Organization & projects
Your organization
Your company or team: inviting people, which projects they open, what each role may do, and several organizations.
Send your emails to customers from your own address: connect email accounts to a project, test them green or red, pick the default, design how your emails look, and see everything that went out.
Projects
Apps and websites — each a workspace of its own, with its own models, pages, sidebar, dashboard and API.
Starting from a template
A ready-made app, API or website built into a new project: choosing one, its questions, the build, and what you get.
Build
Models
Describe the things your project keeps — customers, orders, bookings — and get a table, form, filters and detail page for each.
Pages: tables, forms & detail pages
Fine-tune how each model looks and works — its table, filters, form and detail page — with drafts you publish.
Sidebar
Arrange your project’s sidebar: its sections, its pages, their icons, and who sees each one.
Dashboard
Choose the numbers, charts and recent lists on your project’s home page.
PDF templates
Design the invoices, bills and receipts your records download as PDFs — from a starter, from nothing, or with AI.
Media
Your project’s images, videos and files — folders, uploads, links and the trash.
Automations
When a record is created, changed, deleted or reaches a date: notify people, send an email, call a webhook, update or create a record.
Build with your own AI
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant to a project and build models by describing them.
Everyday work
Working with records
The everyday work: adding, finding, editing, exporting and importing the records in your project.
Go live
API
Endpoints for your own website, app or server — generated from your models or made one by one, each with who may call it, rules on its records, its fields, filters and pages; server keys for your own server.
Customers & sign-in
Let the people who use your site or app create an account and sign in — with a ready-made widget or your own form.
Site widgets
Ready-made pieces for your own site — sign-in, a cart, checkout and order history — added with one script and styled to match.
E-commerce: your store
A store project set up by a short wizard: products and variants, stock per outlet, orders, a POS, returns and refunds, your own couriers — and what you can change after.
Payments
Take payments on your own site with your own Stripe, SSLCommerz or bKash account: checkout priced by the server, orders paid only when the provider confirms.
Website projects
Site setup, pages, per-page SEO and content blocks — and rendering them on your site in two calls.
The site builder
Build your website visually from ready-made blocks, then publish every change in one go — and go back to any earlier version.
Analytics
Count visits to your website without cookies: where they came from, who each visitor is and every page they visited, clicks and your own events.
