I am not a developer and I hope someone can help me. I had purchased a Mailchimp Commerce plugin via the plugin store but I don't know how to install it or find any documents on how to.

I do see the license on my ID but it says "Craft License Not attached to a CMS license."

Do I need a developer to install the plugin? any instructions I can look over?

Any help is really apprecited

  • Hey inrsaurabh, I finally got help from a developer since I couldn't figure it out. Thank you so much, I gave him the links you had provided and it was done very quickly. I am not able to try the plugin and then add the license that I had purchased.

Plugins can be installed through the Craft control panel.

When you log in to your Craft install, you'll see Plugin Store in the left-hand menu. From there you can find and install (labelled 'Try' as you're first installing as a trial) the MailChimp Commerce plugin.

Once installed go to Settings > Plugins and enter the license you purchased.

  • Thanks for your reply. The problem is, I can't see any install options - Have already bought the license

  • The problem is I can't see an install button - I have admin privileges. I went into the Plugin store and searched for the plugin - I see only the Checkout button but no intsall.

  • You need to click ‘try’, this will install as trial. You can then add license key as above.

    You probably don't have the correct file permissions set: docs.craftcms.com/v3/…

In craft cms 3. We have the option to install any plugin that hosted on plugin store

  1. We can install by composer ( if are a developer or have access to the terminal )
  2. Install from the Website admin panel.

I made a small gif.

craftcms plugin install

Add purchased key.

craftcms key

Updated:

For folder permission, you can follow Files & Folders permission

Craftcms permission

Update:

If your site is in production mode, then you can not update and install new plugins from the backend.

  • Thank you for GIF. Weirdly I don't see the install button, I have purchased the plugin license and can see it at id.craftcms.com/licenses/plugins/15576 although it says Craft License Not attached to a CMS license. Here is a GIF I made: media.giphy.com/media/d8K1vc3AlGpgCSjOsW/giphy.gif

  • As per the GIF you provided, i think it's normal, just click on the TRY button first, it will install the plugin, once installed to your website, you can add the key. ( to add the key just go to your-website/admin/settings/plugins and add the purchased key)

  • @Faraz It's saying permission denied means folder and files of your site don't have the proper permission. First try to go back to the previous page in new url and check if the plugin is installed or not. If not then you need to correct the permission. Even a non developer can do , just need terminal.
