We'll get right to it.
You just bought a module for your Miva Merchant store, and now it's time to install, but maybe the instructions aren't clear or there's some other issue. If that's the case, you're in the right place and hopefully this guide will make this process easy for you.

1. Open Modules Screen
Click the MENU
button and then click on MODULES
:
MENU > MODULES
2. Upload Your Module
- click the
+
button on the right hand side to add a new module - click the
UPLOAD
button - click the
CHOOSE FILE
button (see image below) - select your file by clicking once and then clicking the
OPEN
button, or simply by double clicking the file. - click the
UPLOAD
button - click the
ADD
button (top right) to finishing adding the module to Miva Merchant
3. Activate the Module in Your Store
You've added the module to Miva Merchant, now it's time to turn it on in your store.
You will find your module in it's own section in the Miva Merchant administration. Payment modules are in the Payment Settings, utility modules are in the Utility Settings, and so on. The FastFAQs module in this example is a utility module, so we'll install the module in the Utilities area by clicking on the menu button and then on UTILITIES:
MENU > UTILITIES
Next, click on the ADD/REMOVE Modules
tab. If you don't see it, click on the three dots (see image below) and find it there:
Click on the INSTALL
button for the module you want to install:
When you click the INSTALL
button the module installs itself into your store and is ready to use. At this point the next step is your module documentation.
Note, if your module isn't found in the Utility Settings, check the other menu items circled in red (image below) - each has it's own Add/Remove Modules
section:
