Note:

• If you are familiar with Laravel consider setting a queue driver and run a queue:work process in order to make time taking tasks like sending a mail run separately and make the request faster.
• Make sure that you should use Virtual Host instead of Localhost because we are using vat calculator Which supports only virtual host.
