How to install Boei on your Joomla site

You can install Boei effortlessly on your Joomla store, and you won't even site a developer.

Just grab a cup of coffee ☕️, and you can do the installation in 5-mins yourself.

Step 1. Create an account

Create a Boei account if you don't have one yet. The onboarding will guide you through selecting channels, choosing a theme, and positioning your widget.
