Installation instructions
If downloaded package has .ocmod.zip extension, you can install it using Extension Installer. If you see "The directory is not allowed to be written to" error message, download Extension Installer Fix from this page and install it. Then install the main extension.
In any other case or if you want to install it manually, unpack and upload all folders to the root of your store. If there's install.xml file in the package, rename it to extension_name.ocmod.xml, replacing "extension_name" with extension's name, and upload it to "system" folder.
When upgrading from previous version rewrite all existing files. Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
Note for OpenCart 2.0.X users
Sometimes OCMod inserts modification in multiple files, which are separated by "|" character in XML-file. On earlier OpenCart 2 versions a comma was used instead. To quickly fix this, open XML file and replace all occurrences of "|" character with "," for "path" attribute in every applicable <file> element. Search for "<file path=" to quickly find and highlight all elements.
Note for OpenCart 2.3 users
On OpenCart 2.3 compatibility code is broken, which may lead to Permission Denied issue, when you access extension settings. To fix this you need to install OpenCart 2.3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
The right sequence of actions is the following:
- Download our purchased (or free) extension, but do not install it yet (uninstall, if already installed).
- Install OpenCart 2.3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
- Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
- Go to System -> User Groups and select all access/modify permissions for your group.
- Install our purchased (or free) extension.
If you did everything right, everything will start working properly.
Note for OpenCart 3 users
NOTE: Instructions below are required only if "admin" or "catalog" folders are present in the package!
To install and use extension on OpenCart 3 you need to install OpenCart 3 Compatibility Fixes. It adds backward compatibility with old extension structure plus adds back support for .tpl files and enables automatic template engine detection.
The right sequence of actions is the following:

- Install OpenCart 3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
- Go to Extensions -> Modules section, install and enable Template Switcher.
- Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
- Go to System -> User Groups and select all access/modify permissions for your group.
- Install our purchased (or free) extension.
If you did everything right, everything will start working properly.
Permissions
In some cases it is required to manually set permissions for installed extension. To do this go to System -> User Groups, find your group and select access/modify permissions for desired extension. You can find extension in permissions list by folder/filename pair (for example, marketing/acoupon).
Extension Setup
Click MySQL Console in the main menu and do what you must. No additional setup is required.
You can send any MySQL queries you want. For some of them you will see a feedback below, for others only a success or error message will be displayed on top.
