Install/Uninstall Modules

CE Phoenix Cart has all the modules you need to operate a store already installed and enabled by default.

When playing with the design, it's a good option to disable it, as it saves the settings it has been given, meaning it will be exactly the same as it was if you choose to enable it again later.

However, this also means that it is loaded completely with every page, which in extreme circumstances might slow down your website so, if you are sure you don't want to use a module, it is better to uninstall it than to disable it.
