System Requirements

Before you begin, please review the system requirements below. Meeting these requirements guarantees smooth installation, optimal performance, and full compatibility.

WordPress Version

  • Minimum required: WordPress 5.0.0 or higher
  • Using the latest version of WordPress is strongly recommended for compatibility and security.

PHP Version

  • Minimum required: PHP 7.4
  • Newer versions (8.0 or higher) are recommended for better speed, stability, and security.
  • Running outdated PHP may cause unexpected issues with performance or plugin functionality.

Database Requirements

  • MySQL: Version 5.6 or higher
  • MariaDB: Version 10.1 or higher
  • These are the same database requirements as WordPress itself, so most modern servers will already be compatible.

Memory Limit

  • Recommended: At least 256 MB WordPress memory limit
  • Lower memory limits can cause errors or incomplete processing when managing shipping rules and logs.

Supported Browsers

WowShipping works smoothly with the latest versions of:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

⚠️ Internet Explorer is not supported.

HTTPS Support

  • Strongly recommended: Use HTTPS for secure communication between your site and customers.
  • WowShipping fully supports both HTTPS and HTTP, but HTTPS is the industry standard for protecting data.
