Installation Guide
System Requirements
WP EasyCart runs on any standard self-hosted WordPress installation. Here are the server specs, PHP settings, and hosting environments we support and recommend.
WordPress
Single WordPress site required
WP EasyCart is designed for a single WordPress installation. EasyCart is not compatible with MultiSite (MU/MS). It also cannot be used on WordPress.com since that platform does not allow individual plugin installations — you need a self-hosted WordPress site.
Server Specs
PHP & PHP settings
EasyCart has been tested on PHP 5.6 and higher. We recommend PHP 7.0 or greater (PHP 8+ preferred).
- PHP Version: 7.0 or greater (PHP 8+ preferred)
- Max File Upload Size: 10MB or greater
- Post Max Size: 10MB or greater
- Memory Limit: 128MB or greater
- Max Execution Time: 300 seconds or greater
Database
MySQL & MariaDB
MySQL version 5.0 or later is required — we recommend the most current stable release. MariaDB is also fully compatible and works well with EasyCart.
Hosting
Hosting & server environments
Apache, Nginx, and IIS web servers are all supported. We recommend Linux-based hosting with Apache or Nginx, though Windows environments work as well.
WP Engine users: Disable caching for your /store, /cart, and /account pages to prevent dynamic content from being cached.
Ready to install?
If your server meets these requirements, you’re ready to go. Install the free edition and start building your store.
