The “Selection” tab is about discovering new modules and service to improve your store. Here you’ll find a list of all the modules you can install (and not the ones you’ve already installed).
This selection of recommended modules is based on your country, language and version of PrestaShop. It includes the most popular modules from our Addons marketplace, and free partner modules.
A module allows you to add features to your shop such as new means of payment, a synchronization of inventory and orders with your logistician, an export to smart shopping guides, and many tools for you and your customers. Modules comes with a file that must be installed within your PrestaShop. On the other hand, a service is intangible: you do not have to install anything on your shop for the service to work. Instead you may have to sign a contract with the service provider. Services are identified with the "Discover" button. |
