OpenBay Pro

Step 1. Installing vQmod

For information on installing vQmod please read the official website (available here)

You need VQmod for earlier versions of OpenCart 1.5.1.3 - 1.5.5.1 to have OpenBay Pro, so follow the instructions above to install this. If you have OpenCart 1.5.6+ OpenBay Pro is integrated already.

Step 2. Using FTP To Upload The Module

Most users should be familiar with FTP, you will have needed to upload your OpenCart store originally through FTP and your access details will be available from your hosting provider.

-Download the OpenBay Pro Module (available here).

-Extract the zip folder

-Use an FTP program like FileZilla (available for Mac and PC). You will need your server address, username and password to access your hosting FTP directory.

-Connect to your server and navigate to your OpenCart main directory (this contains your admin, catalog and system folders).

-Drag the contents of everything inside the "upload" folder to the OpenCart directory in your FTP program.
