This instruction explains how to create platforms, product groups, and products that are required for enabling MT4 and MT5 functionalities via the B2CORE Back Office.
For managing live and demo trading accounts on both MT4 and MT5, it's required to configure separate platforms, product groups, and products for each in the Back Office.
To create a platform for MT:
Navigate to Products > Platforms.
Click Create in the upper-right page corner, and then select MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 in the dropdown.
In the Create platform popup, fill in the following fields:
In the Name field, enter a unique name for the platform.
In the Caption field, enter a caption that will be applied to the platform in the Back Office.

In the Outcome transfer request dropdown, select:
Yes — to require admin approval and create requests for transfers from MT accounts via the B2CORE UI.
No — to process transfers from MT accounts via the B2CORE UI without requests.
Click Save to proceed.
On the Edit platform page, specify the following settings:
In the Short caption field, you can optionally specify a short platform caption.

In the Currency dropdown, select the currency for the product. The available currency options in B2CORE depend on the settings of the selected platform group. For example, if a platform group in the MT manager is configured for USD, then USD will be the default currency option for MT accounts created with this product via B2CORE.
In the Name field, enter a unique name for the product.
In the Group dropdown, select the previously created to include the product into that group.
In the Factory dropdown, select 100 to denominate MT accounts created with this product in currency subunits (for example, cents); otherwise, leave 1.

Click Save to proceed.
On the Edit product page, specify the following product settings:

In the Max accounts field, enter an integer value to define the maximum number of MT accounts that a client can create for each currency added to the product.
For example, if USD and EUR are added as currencies to the product and the Max accounts option is set to 1, the client can create one account in USD and one account in EUR based on this product.
To set no limit on the number of accounts, specify -1.
To forbid clients to create accounts, specify 0.
In the Mail dropdown, select:
Send or Default — to automatically send email notifications to clients when new MT accounts are created, providing them with the necessary details to start trading.

After configuring the product settings, activate it by selecting Enabled in the Status dropdown.
Click Save to create the product.
MT accounts related to the respective platform can now be created based on the product via the Back Office or B2CORE UI. Any changes to product settings will directly impact how the product is displayed and functions for clients in the B2CORE UI.
If both MT4 and MT5 platforms are needed, follow the same instructions to configure the other platform.
