In SmartStore.NET, there are several plugins which are delivered with the initial installation. But there are also several plugins to extend your SmartStore.NET-Shop which you can download from the SmartStore Community Marketplace or from third party websites. Plugins and themes for SmartStore.NET should be packaged as files with the extension nupkg. For more information about the SmartStore Community Marketplace, read the topic Community & Marketplace.

How to install a Plugin

Choose the menu item Plugins > Manage plugins and click on the button Upload Plugin. Choose the nupkg file that contains the plugin and click on Upload & Install. The plugin has now been installed and can be configured in the plugin management area.

 

How to install a Theme
