Adobe Commerce - Install Extension

How Can I Install and Enable the Adobe Commerce Extension?

Overview

There are two ways to install and enable the Adobe Commerce Afterpay Extension:

• Use Composer to automatically download and install the files it gets from Packagist. We recommend this method

• Do a manual install

Both these ways involve locating and installing the Afterpay Extension for Adobe Commerce (Magento 2). Composer does this task automatically. For manual installations, you must locate and download these public repos for Adobe Commerce (Magento 2):

• Afterpay Extension for Magento 2

• Cash App Pay Extension for Magento 2

You can also use the “headless” methods, GraphQL and REST API. See the Headless Support section below.

Composer

We recommend you use Composer to manage your repos and dependencies. This is a recommendation, not a requirement.

If you use Composer, make sure you install the correct module version that corresponds to your Adobe Commerce/Magento version. For example, module version 5.x works with Magento 2.4.x. The various modules and their corresponding Commerce/Magento version appear in this GitHub table. See Step 2 below.

Do the following:

1. In Composer, open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and go to the Adobe Commerce project root directory on your server.

2. In the CLI, run this command to install the Afterpay module: composer require afterpay-global/module-afterpay. See the GitHub table for the specific Afterpay module you need to specify.

3. Make sure that Composer finishes the installation without errors.

4. Run the Adobe Commerce setup upgrade: php bin/magento setup:upgrade.

5. Run the Adobe Commerce Dependencies Injection Compile: php bin/magento setup:di:compile.

6. Run the Adobe Commerce Static Content deployment: php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy.

7. Run the Adobe Commerce System Cache Flush: php bin/magento cache:flush.

Manual Procedure

This method does not use Composer. It is a more complex than using Composer, but just as effective when done correctly. Follow the instructions below.

Download the Afterpay Extension

The extension is on the GitHub. Do the following:

1. Go to the GitHub for the link to Magento 2 for the most up-to-date version.

The source code needed depends on your version of Magento. See the Readme file in the Afterpay-Magento-2 part of GitHub.

2. Under the green Code heading, click HTTPS and click Download ZIP. See screenshot below:

3. Unzip your files and put them into a temporary folder.

Run the Commands

1. Create the folder Afterpay/Afterpay in [ADOBE-COMMERCE]/app/code.

2. Copy the files from your temporary folder to the Afterpay/Afterpay folder. The temporary folder is the one you created in Step 3 in the Download the Afterpay Extension section above.

3. Open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and make sure you are the owner of the [ADOBE-COMMERCE] folder. Run all the CLI commands as the owner of the folder, not root and without sudo.

4. From the CLI, run the commands below:

Now you need to repeat the process for the Cash App Pay Extension for Magento 2:

1. Create the folder Afterpay/CashApp in [ADOBE-COMMERCE]/app/code.

2. Download and copy the files to the Afterpay/CashApp folder. The source code path is based on the Magento version here.

3. Open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and run the commands below:

You can find a table of the Afterpay Plugins for Adobe Commerce/Magento 2 here. It also contains useful information on the manual installation process.
