# Installation & Requirements

# Installation & Requirements

EasyCoupon is a WooCommerce coupon and promotion plugin. Make sure your WordPress site meets the requirements below before installing it.

## Requirements

EasyCoupon Free 1.0.1 requires:

- **WordPress:** 6.5 or later
- **PHP:** 7.4 or later
- **WooCommerce:** installed and active

EasyCoupon 1.0.1 also declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

## Install EasyCoupon From WordPress

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Go to **Plugins → Add New**.
3. Search for **EasyCoupon**.
4. Find **EasyCoupon – Advanced Coupon & Deal for WooCommerce**.
5. Click **Install Now**.
6. Click **Activate** when installation finishes.

After activation, the **EasyCoupon** menu appears in the WordPress admin area.

## Install EasyCoupon From a ZIP File

1. Go to **Plugins → Add New**.
2. Click **Upload Plugin**.
3. Select the EasyCoupon ZIP file.
4. Click **Install Now**.
5. Click **Activate Plugin**.

You can also install it manually through a hosting file manager or FTP by extracting the ZIP and uploading the `easycoupon` folder to `wp-content/plugins/`, then activating EasyCoupon from **Plugins**.

## Install EasyCoupon Pro

EasyCoupon Pro is an addon for EasyCoupon Free. **EasyCoupon Free must remain installed and active**.

To install Pro from a ZIP file:

1. Confirm EasyCoupon Free is active.
2. Go to **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.
3. Select the EasyCoupon Pro ZIP file.
4. Click **Install Now**.
5. Activate **EasyCoupon Pro**.

Pro does not replace the Free plugin; it extends supported EasyCoupon features.

## After Installation

Open **EasyCoupon → Dashboard** to access:

- Auto Apply Coupon
- Coupon Generator
- URL Coupon
- BOGO Deal

If Pro is active and licensed, its additional options appear inside the supported feature interfaces.

## Troubleshooting

### EasyCoupon cannot be activated

Check that WordPress is 6.5 or later and PHP is 7.4 or later. Also make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.

### EasyCoupon Pro options are not available

Make sure EasyCoupon Free is installed and active. Pro is an addon and does not work as a standalone replacement for Free.

### EasyCoupon does not appear after a manual installation

Confirm that the plugin folder is located inside `wp-content/plugins/` and that the plugin is activated from **Plugins**.

## Version Compatibility

EasyCoupon 1.0.1 includes compatibility work for **WordPress 7.1** and **WooCommerce HPOS**, along with performance and security improvements in that release.
