What your site needs to run Sales Igniter Rentals & Bookings for WooCommerce (the free Lite plugin, and Regular, Pro and Ultimate) and the add-ons you use with it.
At a glance #
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| PHP | 8.1 or newer. We test every release on PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4, so PHP 8.4 is fine. |
| WordPress | 6.6 or newer. |
| WooCommerce | 8.0 or newer. Both order storage modes work (High-Performance Order Storage or the older posts storage), and so do the Cart and Checkout blocks. |
| Other plugins | Secure Custom Fields, free from WordPress.org. WordPress offers to install it when you activate Rentals & Bookings. |
| Database | MySQL or MariaDB, as WordPress and WooCommerce need. WooCommerce recommends MySQL 8.0 or newer, or MariaDB 10.6 or newer. |
| Hosting | Any host that runs the versions above. You install from your WordPress admin with a zip upload, so you don’t need SSH, Composer or extra server software. PDF documents use the GD and mbstring PHP extensions, which most hosts have switched on. WooCommerce also recommends a WordPress memory limit of 256 MB or more, and HTTPS. |
Will it run on PHP 8.4? #
Yes. PHP 8.4 is part of our test run, together with 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3. PHP 8.1 is the minimum: older versions such as PHP 8.0 and 7.4 are not supported, and WordPress won’t activate Rentals & Bookings on them.
Add-ons #
Every add-on needs PHP 8.1 or newer when you use it with Rentals & Bookings, and the same WordPress and WooCommerce versions. One add-on asks for more:
- Bundles & Composites (included in Regular, Pro and Ultimate) needs WordPress 6.8 or newer and WooCommerce 10.6 or newer.
Bundles & Composites, Custom Fields and Refundable Security Deposits also run on a WooCommerce store without our rental plugins. To run one of them that way on a PHP version older than 8.1, ask us first.
Magento 2 and Shopify #
This page is about WordPress. Our Magento 2 extensions follow Magento’s own requirements: they support Magento 2.4.7 to 2.4.9, which need PHP 8.2 or newer, and current releases are tested with PHP 8.3 and 8.4 (see Programming notes). Our Shopify apps run on Shopify, so there is nothing to host.
