Installing and configuring modules from the 1C-Bitrix marketplace

Installation and Setup of Modules from 1C-Bitrix Marketplace

Modules from the 1C-Bitrix marketplace extend the platform's base functionality: integrations with payment systems, CRM connectors, SEO tools, delivery modules, widgets. Installation through the marketplace is a few clicks, but the module often requires additional configuration, testing, and compatibility checking before it's work-ready.

Installation process

Module installation from the marketplace is performed through the admin section: /bitrix/admin/partner_modules.php or "Marketplace" → "Modules". After payment or downloading a free module, the system:

1. Downloads archive to /bitrix/modules/vendor.modulename/
2. Executes module's install.php — creates database tables, writes initial settings to b_option, registers event handlers via RegisterModuleDependences
3. Registers module in b_module

After installation, the module is available in settings: /bitrix/admin/settings.php?lang=en&mid=vendor.modulename.

Compatibility check before installation

Before installation, check:

• Bitrix version: minimum version is specified in module description on marketplace. View current version: /bitrix/admin/index.php → "Updates"
• PHP version: in composer.json or module documentation. View current PHP version: phpinfo() or via SSH php -v
• Conflicts: if two installed modules register handlers to same event with same priority — they may conflict. Check in b_module_to_module table

Setup after installation

Each module has its settings page. General structure: page in /bitrix/admin/ with form, data saved via COption::SetOptionString(). Typical settings:

• Payment modules: payment system API keys, test/live mode, webhook URL for callbacks (must be registered in payment system account)
• Delivery modules: credentials in shipping company, list of available delivery methods, region correspondence tables
• CRM integrations: OAuth tokens, field mapping, sync direction
• SEO modules: meta tag generation rules, sitemap settings, micromarkup parameters

Testing after setup

Before enabling on production, each functional module must be tested:

• Payment modules — test payment via sandbox mode, verify success/fail/cancel callback processing
• Delivery modules — cost calculation for multiple addresses and weight categories
• CRM integrations — create test request, verify it appears in CRM, bidirectional status sync

Timelines

Installation and basic setup of simple module (SEO, analytics, widget) — 2–4 hours. Setup of module with external integration (payment, delivery, CRM) — 4–8 hours. Setup of complex module with data mapping and testing — 1–3 days.
