There are many more modules available on the PrestaShop Addons website (http://addons.prestashop.com/). Some are free, others are for-pay, and you're sure to find something that suits your needs! Once you are a seasoned module developer/theme designer, you can even submit your own creations, and sell them on Addons!
The "Modules & Themes Catalog" page gives you a quick and easy access to the online Addons database of modules and themes. Its interface is pretty straightforward:
- A search field, with which you can search the whole content of the Addons website.
- On the right, a "Discover our modules" box, which features 4 modules among the most downloaded.
A search query will return the 5 first results from Addons, with more available if you click on the "View all results on addons.prestashop.com" link at top of the results.
Clicking on an item will open its Addons page in a new browser tab.

Addons is the official marketplace for PrestaShop Modules and Themes. This is where shop owners can get all the necessary items to customize their shop, and where authors can share their creations with the community. Modules and themes can either be free or for-sale: the price is set by the author. Take the time to browse the available modules and themes, because expensive doesn't always mean better. You must be logged-in before you can download or rate anything. Creating an account is free. |
Installing modules
Once you have downloaded a module from the Addons online store, it's up to you have it installed on your PrestaShop site.

Once configuration is complete, be sure to test the module immediately to confirm that it works as planned.
Updating a module
Uninstalling a module
If you only need to temporarily not use the module, but still wish to keep its configuration, you can simply disable it: just click on the green tick, which should then turn into a red cross, meaning that the module is still installed, but disabled.
...
If you changed your theme to take the module into account, make sure that the disabling or removal of the module does not break the theme.
My Account
PrestaShop also enables you to access your Addons account right from the back-office.
Log-in using the form on the "My Account" sub-tab, and get access to all your Addons details.
Positions
The order in which modules' front-office interface are displayed can be customized – because you might want one module to be place much higher (or lower) in the page that others. In PrestaShop's jargon, this is called "transplanting", and is done using the tool available under the "Positions" sub-tab for the "Modules" tab. In effect, this enables you to attach a module to one of the many available hooks in the current theme, without writing any code.
