   git clone https://github.com/rishisulakhe/paytm-clone.git
   

2. Set Environment Variables: Navigate to the frontend and backend folders and add necessary environment variables. You may need to create a .env file and configure it with required variables: In the backend/.env file:

   MONGO_URL = your-mongo-url
   PORT = 3000
   JWT_SECRET = your-jwt-secret
   

   In the frontend/.env file:

   VITE_SERVER_URL = your-server-url
   

3. Install Dependencies: Install dependencies in the frontend and backend folders using npm or yarn:

   cd frontend
   npm install
   cd ../backend
   npm install
   

4. Start the Backend Server: In the backend folder, start the development server using npm:

   npm run start
   

5. Start the Frontend: In the frontend folder, start the frontend application:

   npm run dev
   

Database Transactions

The PayTM Clone project implements MongoDB Transactions to ensure data consistency and reliability. Transactions follow the ACID properties of databases, ensuring that transactions are either fully completed and committed or reverted back in case of issues, thus preventing inconsistencies in the database.
