Quick Start

This walks you from a fresh install to a configured store feature in about five minutes.

1. Confirm prerequisites​

WooCommerce 8.0+ is installed and active, and you are on WordPress 6.0+ with PHP 8.1+. See Installation if not.

2. Open the Empora dashboard​

In the WordPress admin sidebar, click Empora. The Dashboard shows:

  • Your license state (Free, or the active plan name and entitlements).
  • Which modules are enabled.
  • A pending configuration card that flags anything still needing setup (it shows a todo marker until a required step is done).

3. Enable a free module​

  1. Go to Empora → Modules.
  2. Find Product Filters in the grid (it is part of the free core).
  3. Toggle it on. The module registers its front-end behaviour immediately.

4. Configure it​

  1. Open Empora → Settings.
  2. Select the Product Filters tab.
  3. Choose the filter types you want (price, attribute, category, rating, etc.) and save.

All module settings live behind tabs on this one Settings page, backed by a single aiowc_module_settings store — there is no scattered options screen per module.

5. Verify on the storefront​

Open a shop or category page on your site. The filters you enabled now render and filter products over AJAX without a full page reload.

6. (Optional) Unlock premium modules​

If you have a license, activate it, then return to Empora → Modules to enable premium modules such as Advanced Shipping, Gift Cards, or Subscriptions.
