Before installing eMerchant, install AShop Deluxe.

eMerchant program files are available to download from our site.

The AShop Deluxe license key must have eMerchant enabled. eMerchant is enabled in all free 30 day trial keys. Permanent license keys may or may not have eMerchant enabled depending on how the key is purchased. To verify the status of a license key, contact us.

3.Run emerchant/install.php from a browser. This will create the emerchant_ database tables. To do this, enter something like this into your browser address bar: http://www.yourdomain.com/emerchant/install.php or http://www.yourdomain.com/ashop/emerchant/install.php depending on where the AShop files and directories are located.  

The installation is complete, however before using eMerchant a few additional steps are required.

When logged into the AShop admin panel, there should now be an eMerchant link in the left nav bar. If it does not appear, refresh the page. If the link still does not appear, ensure that the folder permissions are set per instructions and run emerchant/install.php again. Click on the eMerchant nav link to configure users and email.
