Installation

Requirements

Before installing HTMLBox Pro, ensure your server meets these requirements:

  • PrestaShop 8.0 or newer (tested up to 9.0.3)
  • PHP 8.1 or newer
  • No additional PHP extensions required

Step 1: Download

After purchasing HTMLBox Pro, you'll receive a download link via email. Download the ZIP file β€” it contains the module ready for installation.

Step 2: Upload to PrestaShop

  1. Log in to your PrestaShop Admin Panel
  2. Navigate to Modules -> Module Manager
  3. Click the "Upload a module" button in the top-right
  4. Select the htmlboxpro.zip file you downloaded
  5. Wait for the upload and installation to complete

The module will appear in your module list as "HTMLBox Pro β€” Custom Content Blocks".

Step 3: Create Your First Block

  1. Click "Configure" on the HTMLBox Pro module
  2. Click "Add New Block" in the top-right
  3. Enter a name for your block (e.g., "Homepage Banner")
  4. Select a hook position (e.g., displayHome)
  5. Write your content using the WYSIWYG editor or switch to code view
  6. Click "Save" β€” your block is now live on the storefront

Step 4: Verify on the Storefront

Visit your store's front page (or whichever page the hook applies to) and verify your content block appears in the correct position.

Multistore Setup

If you use PrestaShop's multistore feature:

  1. Select the shop context in the admin header (specific shop or "All shops")
  2. Blocks created in "All shops" context appear on every shop
  3. Blocks created in a specific shop context appear only on that shop
  4. Use the import/export feature to copy blocks between shops
