Requirements #
- WordPress with WooCommerce active.
- At least one product set to External/Affiliate product with a Product URL.
- The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Install and activate #
- Go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin and upload the plugin zip, then click Install Now and Activate.
- If you upgrade from free to Pro, install and activate Pro. The free build detects Pro and stays idle, and your settings carry over.
- Go to WPFactory > Advanced External Products. The Currency section opens first; Links and Multiple URLs are the other section tabs.
Default state after activation #
All three sections are enabled by default, but every individual option is off. Nothing changes on your storefront until you turn an option on. The one visible change is the Extra product URLs field that appears on the edit page of external products, because the Multiple URLs section is enabled by default.
