  1. Develop or Obtain the Addon: First, you need to develop the custom addon or obtain it from a third-party developer.
  2. Prepare the Addon: Ensure that your addon follows Odoo's module structure and guidelines. It should have the necessary files such as __manifest__.py, views, models, security files, etc.
  3. Login to your Odoo.com Account: Access your Odoo.com account with your credentials.
  4. Access the Apps Menu: Once logged in, navigate to the Apps menu. You can typically find it in the top bar of the interface.
  5. Click on 'Upload App': In the Apps menu, look for an option like "Upload App" or "Upload Module". Click on it to initiate the process of uploading your custom addon.
  6. Upload the Addon Zip File: You'll be prompted to upload the zip file containing your custom addon.
  7. Install the Addon: After uploading, Odoo will process the addon. Once processed, you'll typically have the option to install it. Click on the "Install" button next to your addon.
  8. Configure and Use: Once installed, configure your addon settings as required. You can then start using the features provided by your custom addon.
  9. Testing: It's crucial to thoroughly test your addon to ensure it works as expected within your Odoo environment.
  10. Maintenance and Updates: Regularly maintain and update your custom addon to keep it compatible with the latest versions of Odoo and to address any issues that may arise.

Hi,
Modules can be imported from the user interface using the Import Module menu only if the modules contains data files, ie, only xml files, if the module contains py and new model definition from python this method will fail.  In the pop up where the module is going to import is alerting the user about it.



For example, suppose if you need to add this module to your odoo instance :  https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/17.0/om_account_accountant/

You cannot upload this module from the import module menu, if you do so, you will receive some errors saying model is missing etc.

In this time, the right procedure is:

* Get the module
* Extract the module and add it your custom addons path if exists or create new custom addons path
* restart the odoo service
* Update app list
* Search for the module and install

The apps coming under Industries section in the store is a good examples of module that can be imported by the way you specified:  https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/saas-17.1/software_reseller/


Thanks
