    See this full guide on adding our tracking script via Google Tag Manager.



Step 7:  Install the Reaktion plugin in PrestaShop

Instead of manually editing the Order Confirmation Page template, install the Reaktion plugin at the end of the guide in your PrestaShop Back Office.


PrestaShop 1.7, 8.1, and 8.x

1. Go to Modules > Module Manager in your PrestaShop Back Office.
2. Click Upload a module.

Open Module Manager and click Upload a module

3. In the upload window, click select file and choose the Reaktion plugin archive (reaktion.zip).
4. Wait for PrestaShop to finish the installation automatically.

Select the Reaktion plugin ZIP file

5. Reload the page and scroll down to the Other section.
6. Confirm that Reaktion.com server-side tracking module is visible and installed.
(If the button shows Disable, the plugin is already active.

Reload the page, scroll down, and confirm the module is installed

PrestaShop 1.6

Use the same plugin installation flow from Modules > Module Manager.

The plugin replaces the manual step where the order ID script would otherwise need to be inserted into the Order Confirmation Page template.


Done! This completes the PrestaShop tracking setup.
