How to Install WooCommerce plugin

WooCommerce is a free e-commerce plugin for WordPress that enables full checkout and order management. When used together with Tickera and the Bridge for WooCommerce add-on, WooCommerce becomes responsible for payment processing, cart/checkout, email notifications to buyers, taxes, and currency settings — while Tickera handles tickets, attendees, and check-in.

Installing WooCommerce takes only a few minutes, and most of the initial setup is done automatically through the WooCommerce Setup Wizard.

Installing WooCommerce from WordPress Dashboard

• Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
• Go to Plugins -> Add New.
• In the search field, type WooCommerce.
• Click Install Now next to the WooCommerce plugin.
• After installation, click Activate.

Once activated, WordPress automatically launches the WooCommerce Setup Wizard.

Official WooCommerce documentation about the setup wizard can be found here.

Running the WooCommerce setup wizard (recommended)

The Setup Wizard walks you through essential store configuration:

• Store location
• Currency
• Selling / shipping regions
• Payment methods (Stripe, PayPal, Cash on Delivery, etc.)
• Business type and industry

Even if your store will sell only tickets (not physical products), we still strongly recommend to complete the wizard because WooCommerce uses these values for pricing, taxes, and checkout logic.

If you skipped the wizard, you can re-run it here:
WooCommerce -> Home -> Setup Wizard

Required WooCommerce pages

During installation, WooCommerce automatically generates several pages:

• Cart
• Checkout
• My Account
• Shop

WooCommerce needs these pages to function correctly.
If these pages were not created or were deleted, you can regenerate them from:

WooCommerce -> Status -> Tools -> Create default WooCommerce pages
