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.

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.
