How to install and update PrestaHero's modules?

Thanks for downloading/purchasing our PrestaShop modules!

In this article, we will show you detailed and specific ways to help you easily install and upgrade the latest versions of our modules!

First, if you have not had a PrestaHero account, you need to create one and confirm it via email. You can then purchase paid modules or download any free modules you want!

There are 2 ways to install PrestaHero’s modules:

1. Using PrestaHero Connect module:

PrestaHero Connect - a free module that helps connect your store to PrestaHero, you can directly manage, install and upgrade all modules from your store's back office (including your purchased modules, free modules and other available modules from PrestaHero).

We recommend you use the PrestaHero Connect module to download and install our PrestaShop modules because it is simple and extremely handy. You can also easily manage and upgrade modules when the latest version is available. If you don't install PrestaHero Connect, you won't be able to upgrade the modules.
