How to install and activate PD Modules in Blesta
Set up the PD Modules control panel in Blesta, give your staff group access and connect the account that holds your licences. This prepares the panel so you can install and configure the individual modules you choose.
Before you start
Have your PD Hosting licence page available, together with access to your Blesta administration area and a way to upload files, such as your hosting file manager or SFTP. Check the current control-panel requirements on its product page before installing.
Choose the control-panel download intended for your billing system. The available packages are different and are not interchangeable.
1. Upload the plugin package
- On your licence page, find Download the control panel and select the Blesta package.
- Unzip the package into your Blesta plugins/ directory, preserving the package’s folder structure.
- Open Settings → Company → Plugins in your Blesta administration area.
- Find PD Modules and install it.
If the plugin does not appear in the list, check that you used the correct package and extracted it into the intended installation’s plugins directory.
2. Allow the staff groups that will use it
On the same screen, grant access to the staff groups that should use PD Modules. Include your own group.
Blesta can hide a plugin from staff whose group has not been allowed. If a colleague cannot see the panel, check the group permissions before uploading the package again. Installation and staff access are separate parts of setup.
3. Connect your account to activate the installation
Open PD Modules and use Account → Sign in & connect inside the panel. Sign in with the account that holds the licence for this installation. The panel finds your licences automatically, with no key to copy.
If you prefer to activate manually, choose Have a licence key? and enter the key shown on your PD Hosting licence page. Follow the panel’s activation instructions.
4. Confirm the result
Check that your staff account can open PD Modules and that the expected licence is available. Then choose the module you want to configure and follow its own setup instructions.
Each module has its own settings. A module that connects to a provider may also need credentials or provider-side preparation, so do not treat control-panel activation as the end of every module’s setup.
If setup stops at activation
Check that you connected the account that holds your licence. If you chose the manual method, check that the key belongs to the installation you are activating.
