# Setting Up an External Storefront with Magento

In order to use this feature, be sure to enable [eCommerce](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/account-settings#ecommerce) for your account.You can also sell [learning plans](/v1/docs/learning-plans) through [SmarterU’s integrated eCommerce or an external storefront](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/ecommerce).

## SmarterU Extension for Magento

This extension is still under development.

You can download the extension here:

[https://app.smarteru.com/custom/helpassets/Smarteru_Magento_Alpha_Release.zip](https://app.smarteru.com/custom/helpassets/Smarteru_Magento_Alpha_Release.zip).

This extension allows Magento to send data to SmarterU when one or more virtual items are purchased. The data includes shipping, billing and customer information as well as the products purchased. If any of the products have a SKU that matches a [subscription variant](/v1/docs/variant-main#sku-required-if-ecommerce-setting-is-enabled) or a [learning plan ID](/v1/docs/learning-plan-main#learning-plan-id), the customer will be created and enrolled in the courses they have purchased. Products that are not setup as virtual items will not be sent to SmarterU.

To install the extension, simply unzip the extension to your Magento website. The extension code will be added to the local code pool.
