Installing the Eofferix plugin for WooCommerce

How to install the Eofferix plugin on WordPress/WooCommerce and prepare the store for connection from an Eofferix profile.

Updated: Jul 17, 2026

The Eofferix plugin is installed on a WordPress site with WooCommerce enabled. It lets the site accept catalog data from an Eofferix profile and apply changes through WooCommerce mechanisms.

Before installation

  • Check that WooCommerce is installed and enabled.
  • Sign in to WordPress as an administrator.
  • Download either the installer archive or the plugin ZIP archive.

If the store is already live and accepts orders, it is wise to make a backup before installing or updating any WordPress plugin.

Which archive to download

ArchiveWhen to use it
eofferix-woocommerce-install.zipUse it if you prefer to upload an installer folder to the WordPress site root through FTP/SFTP or hosting file manager.
eofferix-woocommerce-plugin.zipUse it for the standard WordPress flow: Plugins, Add Plugin, Upload Plugin.

  1. Download eofferix-woocommerce-install.zip.
  2. Unpack it and upload the eofferix-woocommerce-install folder to the WordPress site root, next to the main index.php.
  3. Open the installer from the same browser session where you are signed in to WordPress. Example: https://site.com/eofferix-woocommerce-install/install.php.
