One of our customers developed a custom online payment module for osCommerce but wasn’t sure how to upload and install it from the admin side. They looked through the available tutorials, including the "Adding Free Module from Admin Area" page, but couldn’t find the necessary steps for installing a custom-developed module that implements the install() method.

The Question: “I’ve developed a new online payment module, but I don’t know how to upload and install it from the admin panel. The tutorial doesn’t cover this, and I need to run the install() method to insert initial constants into the database. Can you help me figure out how to initiate the system installation for this module?”
Our Response: The osCommerce support team provided a straightforward solution: 1. Uploading the Module: We advised to upload the custom payment module to the following directory: lib/common/modules/orderPayment 2. Installing the Module: Once placed in the correct folder, the module should appear under the Uninstalled Payments section in the admin panel. From there, the user can easily install it, triggering the install() method and inserting the required constants into the database.
