Ralph Northcott Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am trying to install the free module, Paypal Europe. I logged in to Addons. The zip file downloads as usual for the normal Prestashop, but there is no facility in the cloud version to install a zip file. The Cloud Help says it will be available to install in the modules page, but I suspect this only applies to the paid modules as it is not there.

0 Ralph Northcott Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I could't go to modules and disable onboard module - as I said, the pop-down disabled access to my back end totally. Luckily I had already set up FTP. I deleted the onboard module and this solved the problem. I then uploaded the Paypal module by FTP and it installed successfully. Thanks Irazu! Problem solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 El Patron Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi, after logging into your PrestaShop account from back office. modules-->modules-->in search box type PayPal if you only see the PayPal USA/Canada/Mexico PayPal module then: localization-->localization-->set default country to anything other than USA/Canada/Mexico advacned parms-->peformance-->top right click clear cache modules-->modules-->in search box type PayPal you should see PayPal Europe you can then install it. note: you must load module from modules-->modules I do not know why 1) if you click 'add module' it lets you search and download a module from addon's as there (as far as I know) not a way to then upload and install. So only work from modules-->modules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ralph Northcott Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I am working from Modules-modules. Paypal US or Europe are not there. The search gets a blank page. My default country is set to United Kingdom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ralph Northcott Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Now I can't do anything. A pop up obscuring the top half of the page has suddenly appeared. " "A few steps before launching!" This will not close out. No links on this are active. Refreshing the page has no effect, it just returns, so now my Cloud back end is totally disabled. I have relaunched my browser (Chrome) and it is still there. I have logged out and in again.

0 alexpsc Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ralph Northcott, I had the same problem as you. I opened a topic and Vekia told me the solution. The issue was that I couldn't press the "module" link to disable the OnBoard menu, because the pop-down didn't allow me to press any link below. I solve the problem with this plugin for Google Chrome. With it I could press the links below the pop down: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb I hope it helps to other people.

0 casedeals-de Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the solution! This works! For the ones that need a step by step guide, here you go: 1. From the Prestashop website go to My Store > Store details and click "Add new FTP user". 2. Then use any FTP client (FileZilla is free) and connect to your FTP server using Address, User and the password you created. 3. Download the PayPal module (find it through Google). 4. Navigate to the modules folder and upload through your FTP client the "paypal" folder within your PayPal module zipped file. 5. Go to the store backend and navigate to modules > modules and find the newly copied PayPal module there. 6. Prestashop will tell you that its not a verified module etcetera, but just install it. 7. You will now have to connect the module with your PayPal account. 8. Rest should be easy. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 eleazar Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm experiencing the same thing. Have they disabled free installation? Depends, from my experience it should work with self uploaded modules, provided these modules are in principle available at PrestaShop Addons. But any module or theme from this forum (free of charge or bought somewhere else) is currently (and I suspect permanently) disabled for installation. That's life, folks! Did you really think you're granted free webspace without any chance for PrestaShop to earn money? The cloud is PrestaShop's new business model, and not a charity performance.

0 TobyJulien Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 hi guys, try changing your default country in localization - Configuration to a country in Europe. After that go back to the module section and search for PayPal. It should appear and you should be able to install it. That was how i installed paypal. good luck.

What I cannot understand is why prestashop don't state before signing up, that they don't have a pre supplied paypal module included for payment. - If they had done I wouldn'r have damn well wasted my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aldrian17 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi there! Spent also hours with this paypalusa - Delete it and than got to http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/1748-paypal.html You will see - it works Regards eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RRA Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Just to let everybody know. I have a Cloud store and am based in Australia, intending to sell globally. I have installed PayPal Europe through ftp successfully. I downloaded it from the addons store and unzipped the folder. Then created a FTP user and uploaded the 'paypal' folder to the 'modules' folder. In back.office in Modules>Payment the module then appeared with an Install button. Using the Install button I simply installed the module and have now been configuring it. Configuring it is another story and I have yet to test it but it looks good so far.

Question
Ralph Northcott
I am trying to install the free module, Paypal Europe. I logged in to Addons.
The zip file downloads as usual for the normal Prestashop, but there is no facility in the cloud version to install a zip file.
The Cloud Help says it will be available to install in the modules page, but I suspect this only applies to the paid modules as it is not there.
