Installing a payment module is fundamentally no different from installing a regular module: simply click the "Install" button, and you are doneall that is left to do is to configure the module.
You should simply pay a lot of attention to the settings, and make sure they do point to your address or bank account. Configuring payment modules often means you must first be known by the payment service provider, meaning having an account on their service.
Let's install the "Cash on delivery (COD)Delivery" module. You first need to access the list of payment modules. It is of course accessible via the "Modules" page, in the "Payments and Gateways" category; but you also have a shortcut from within the "Payments" page: just click on the "Click to see the list of payment modules" button to be taken you to the specific part of the "Modules" page where only "Payment & Gateways" modules are displayed.

As you can see, many payment modules have "(Addons)" at the end of their name. This means the modules will not be installed from files on your server, but downloaded from the Addons website. The files for the partner modules are not part of the default PrestaShop archive anymore since version 1.5. It helps ensure that you always have the latest version of a module. |
Find the "Cash on delivery (COD)" module in the list (sorted alphabetically). To install it, you just need to click on the "Install" button. PrestaShop will take care of everything, and notify you of the result. For instance, if a module needs to be configured before it can work, PrestaShop will display a notification box at the top of the page. In the case of the "Cash on delivery" module, there is nothing to configure.

Note that currency restrictions work in different ways depending on the payment module. For instance, with the native payment modules:
- Authorize.net, For some, such as Cash on delivery, CashTicket, PaysafeCard: You you cannot change their default setting.
- For others, such as Bank wire, Buyster, Payment by check, DIBSSkrill, Moneybookers, Ogone: You Ogone, etc., you can change any of their currency settings, except for the "Customer currency" and "Shop default currency", which stay at their default state.
- Then, for other modules such as Hipay or PayPal, PayPal: You you can change any of their currency settings, but you can choose only one option between "Customer currency" and "Shop default currency", not both.
...
For instance, you could choose to have regular customers pay with PayPal, Moneybookers Skrill and Hipay, while professionals would only be able to pay by bank wire. Depending on the type of customers and on your choices, customers will only pay using the methods that match with your decisions.
...
Here again, just as with currency limitations, the available options vary depending on the payment module:
- Buyster: For some, the only option is your own country.
- Hipay: For others, the only options are the set of countries supported by the service: Austria, Belgium, France, etc.
- All the others native payment modules should work with all countries.
