The rest of this tutorial concerns modules that have been downloaded as Zip files. If you downloaded your module from the back office, by logging into Addons, you can skip to configuration.
Once you have the Zip file for your module, you will need to send it to your server in order to use it. There are two ways of doing this:
Installing the Module from the Back Office
We will install the module from the back office This method does not require any specific know-how.
To start the installation, go to Modules in the back office of your shop. The List of Modules then appears To add a module from a ZIP file, click Add New Module.
A new pane appears, allowing you to import a file.
Click Choose File A window then opens, allowing you to select the ZIP file for the module you want to install.

If the upload is successful, you will see the following message.
The list that follows this confirmation message only contains the module that you have added. Then click Install, so that PrestaShop installs the module.
Finally, once the installation is complete, just click on Configure to configure the module.
Installing the module via FTP
You need to have access to your shop files to use this method. This means you need an FTP client. So ensure you have an FTP client and the FTP login details for your server in order to proceed. Also check that you have the necessary rights to modify the files on the server.
First off, unzip the ZIP archive on your computer. You now have a folder with a named “pm_” followed by the name of the module. It is this folder that we are going to use for the installation.
Open your FTP client and log into your server using your login details
Once logged in, go to your PrestaShop folder. Find and go to the modules folder.
Drag the unzipped folder for the module to be installed to the modules folder on your server.
When the files have been sent, go to Modules in your back office and find the module you just sent. Click Install, so that PrestaShop installs the module.
Finally, once the installation is complete, just click on Configure to configure the module.
