The Magento module, located in the Integrations group, is an add-on module that can be installed from the Plugin module. After installing the plugin, a new module is added that integrates with one or more Magento shopping carts. This plugin is specifically designed to integrate with Magento 1.7 through Magento 1.9. For Magento 2.0 or higher, use the x16px Magento 2.x module.
