Plone Products

A Plone product is a bundle of functionality, written in Python, that plugs into your Plone site. There are Plone products available that provide everything from bug collectors to discussion forums and full-blown e-commerce applications. Because a product is just a chunk of Python code, the complexity or simplicity of a product is up to its author. In the common case, a product will register its own layers in a skin, offering the same ease of customization as Plone itself.

Installing a Plone product is usually as easy as dropping it into the Products/ directory in your Plone installation and going to the part of the Plone UI that allows you to install and remove products.
