Within its catalog of modules, we can find an almost unlimited number, from size guides, one-page checkouts, WhatsApp chats, and more. But\u2026 which of these <strong>addons<\/strong> is the right one to install on our Prestashop store?<\/p>\n<p>Many times it happens, and we\u2019ve all experienced it, that we install one of these <strong>plugins<\/strong>, paid or free, and they don\u2019t work. Causing great frustration due to lost time or having spent a significant amount of money on a <strong>module<\/strong> that ultimately doesn\u2019t function.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid these headaches, we bring you <strong>3 steps or tips<\/strong> that will 100% help you get your online store ready without wasting time or money.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9824 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dossetenta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/como-instalar-modulos-en-prestashop-1.7-en-2022-300x125.png\" alt=\"how-to-install-prestashop-modules-1.7-2022\" width=\"333\" height=\"139\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3 Steps to Successfully Install a Prestashop Module<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These tips work for both <strong>Prestashop 1.6<\/strong> and <strong>Prestashop 1.7<\/strong> as well as <strong>all intermediate versions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>STEP 1: Select<\/h3>\n<p>If you have seen several modules that fulfill the same function, choose the 2 or 3 that inspire the most confidence. Pay attention to the following points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read the <strong>module description<\/strong> and check that it meets the features and specifications you are looking for. If it partially fulfills the functionalities you need, don\u2019t worry\u2014you can select it anyway, you\u2019ll understand why in the next step.<\/li>\n<li>Read <strong>user reviews<\/strong> and <strong>ratings<\/strong>. This will give you an idea if the module will really work in your store. Even if the module has no reviews, it can still be chosen if its features fit your requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>STEP 2: Consult the Developers<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9827 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/dossetenta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/instalar-addon-prestashop-1.7-2022.png\" alt=\"install-prestashop-addon-1.7-2022\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you have selected 2-3 modules, go to the addon\u2019s description page and click on the \u201cDeveloper\u201d tab. Here, we will directly consult with the module developer to ensure it performs the functions we want to add to our store. It is VERY important to inform them about your Prestashop version and the theme with its version.<\/p>\n<p>Use the following scheme for the consultation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Ask about <strong>functionality and adaptability<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Check <strong>compatibility with your Prestashop version<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Check <strong>compatibility with your theme<\/strong> and its version.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A <strong>real example<\/strong> of a query about a size guide module:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGood afternoon, I would like to know if this module allows including size guides according to the product brand. And if it\u2019s possible to include an image (size guide) as a popup that adapts well to desktop and responsive.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The Prestashop version is 1.7.6.5. The theme is alysumchild Version 1.0.0.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Best regards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>STEP 3: Ensure Support<\/h3>\n<p>Once convinced of the module you want to install, consult the developer again about what <strong>support<\/strong> they provide if the addon doesn\u2019t work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Money-back guarantee<\/strong> (if it\u2019s paid)<\/li>\n<li>Technical support guarantee and <strong>adaptation<\/strong> to your template<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to include a functionality in your store that is similar or complementary to a module, we can ask the developers for a custom-made development that suits what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it\u2019s time to install it! Following these 3 simple steps will ensure that any module you want to install works in your store. No wasted time or money.
