Download the latest package from the release tab. Make sure the Package name is like mollie-magento.x.x.x.zip and shows the latest version number.

Update using FTP

Step-by-step to install the Magento® 1 extension by FTP transfer:

1. Enable the Caches in your Magento® store

Turn on Magento’s configuration cache – this will prevent Magento from trying to install the new extension too early. If the extension needs to make any database changes, triggering the installation too early could cause it to miss some database changes and create errors which are difficult to fix later on.


2. Disable the Compilation in your Magento® store

Navigate to System » Tools » Compilation. Check and see if Magento’s compilation mode has been enabled. If it has, it is vital to turn it off before installing an extension (or making any code changes).


3. Copy the App, Lib and Skin files from the mollie-magento-X.X.X.zip package to your Magento Root using FTP

Extract the Mollie ZIP-file (using Winzip, WinRar, etc) and upload the app and lib folder to the root directory of the Magento installation. (You should not upload any other present folder within the supplied zip file, only these directory).

All folders should match the existing folder structure. Make sure to overwrite the existing files of the extension to complete the update.

Note: Warning for Mac OS users using Transmit. If you are installing the extension in a local environment or you are using Transmit, make sure to merge and not to replace the existing folder's contents. Otherwise, your app folder will be gone.


4. Flush Caches

Go to System > Configuration > Cache Management and click both the 'Flush Magento Cache' as well as the 'Flush Cache Storage' button. This is required to activate the extension.


5. Enable Compilation again » Recompile and Enable

If your compilation was enabled before the installation, you can now re-compile and enable the compilation again. Navigate to System » Tools » Compilation. Please note that if your compilation was disabled before, you can skip this step.


6. Logout and Login again

Log out and log back into Magento to reload any access rules for the back end and to prevent a potential "Access Denied" error. Magento might display a 404 Error as it needs to create new permissions for this module in the session. This is done when logging back in to the admin panel.
