Installing Plugins from the Marketplace
The marketplace lives at Marketplace in your admin sidebar. It connects to
carphacom.com to show available plugins, themes, and integrations.
Browse and install
- Go to Marketplace → Browse.
- Filter by type (Payment, Fulfillment, Theme, Admin Extension, B2B API).
- Click any tile for full details, screenshots, and reviews.
- Free items show Install. Paid items show the price + Buy & Install.
Free install
Click Install. The system downloads the signed ZIP, verifies the signature, runs database migrations if needed, and reloads the backend. This takes 10–30 seconds.
Paid install
Click Buy & Install. You're redirected to carphacom.com checkout (Stripe). After
payment, a license key is issued and the install proceeds automatically. The license is
stored encrypted in your database.
Configure a plugin
After install, the plugin shows up in Marketplace → Installed. Click Configure to set
its options. Common fields: API keys, webhook secrets, feature toggles. Form fields are
generated from the plugin's config_schema so they match the plugin's documentation exactly.
Updates
CarphaCom checks for plugin updates every 6 hours. Available updates appear in Marketplace → Updates with changelogs.
- If Auto-update is on for a plugin, it updates silently and you receive a notification.
- If off, click Update now when you're ready.
Disable or uninstall
In Installed, click the menu next to a plugin:
- Disable — keeps it installed but inactive (no menu item, no provider).
- Uninstall — removes it completely. Migrations are not rolled back automatically; data remains in your database. Confirm before clicking.
