Getting Started with nopCommerce
You can extend the functionality of nopCommerce by installing and configuring plugins. Plugins include things such as discounts, shipping methods, tax providers, and widgets. You can download third-party plugins and install them to your site without the need for custom code. You can also develop your own plugins if the need arises.
