You can install add-ons automatically or manually by uploading the add-on files.
Only the root administrator can upload add-ons.
Note
The root administrator is the default administrator that is created by the system after the CS-Cart installation has finished. You can check whether your administrator account is root or not. Find the cscart_users
table in the database and make sure that the is_root
field for your administrator account is set to Y.
Go to the Add-ons → Manage add-ons page in the admin panel. Click on the gear button and select Manual installation.
In the opened pop-up window select the add-on file. Upload a file in zip format from the local computer (Local) or the server file system (Server). You can also specify a URL to a remote location, where the required archive is located.
Then click Upload & Install.
The add-on installer will check the write permissions for files and folders.
If you do not have enough rights, you will receive a notification. Set write permissions to the specified folders on the web server, or grant FTP write access to these folders.
If you bought an add-on on Marketplace, then after installation you may need to enter a license key.
Note
Starting from version 4.12.2, the license key is entered automatically.
The add-on is installed.
CS-Cart provides over 60 add-ons out of the box. Some of them are immediately installed—we suggest that these add-ons are necessary for any online store. Some add-ons are not installed in order not to overload the store with functionality that is unnecessary at the moment.
It is easy to get the add-on you need. For this:
Now you can go to the add-on settings.
The Manage add-ons page contains information about the add-ons of your online store. On this page you can:
Hint
If you use multiple CS-Cart storefronts, then add-on settings can be either individual for each storefront, or global for all storefronts.
Configure your add-ons on the Settings tab of the page that opens by clicking on the add-on name. Add-ons may have no settings.
After installation, some add-ons create new pages with additional working tools in the admin panel. Open additional pages created by the add-on in any way:
