# Using the TagadaPay CLI

A command-line tool to deploy plugins, manage configuration, and automate TagadaPay tasks from your terminal.

The **TagadaPay CLI** is a terminal tool for developers. It's the fastest way to:

-   Deploy custom plugins (custom checkout pages, post-purchase apps)
    
-   Mount plugins on stores or custom domains
    
-   Inspect configuration without opening the dashboard
    
-   Automate deployments inside CI/CD pipelines
    

## When to use it

Use the CLI when:

-   You build and ship custom plugins on a regular basis
    
-   You want to automate plugin deployment from GitHub Actions or similar
    
-   You prefer the terminal for repetitive ops tasks
    

## When **not** to use it

You don't need the CLI to run your day-to-day shop. Everything store-side can be done in the dashboard. The CLI is purely a developer convenience for plugin work.

## Quick install

```
<code class="language-bash">npm install -g @tagadapay/cli
tagada login
tagada whoami
</code>
```
