Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/flexatech/flexacommerce/archive/refs/heads/main.zipA commerce engine for WordPress: products with variants, cart, checkout and orders in dedicated tables.
Description
FlexaCommerce keeps store data in its own database tables instead of posts and post meta. Products, variants, prices, stock, carts and orders each get a table with the indexes their queries need, so a large catalog or order history does not slow down the rest of the site.
This is an early development release. It installs the database schema, the admin Status and Settings screens, the plugin log and the WP-CLI tools. Catalog, cart and checkout arrive in later releases, so do not use it on a live store yet.
What this release includes:
- All store tables, created on activation and kept up to date by a versioned schema runner. Works on single sites and multisite networks.
- Status screen with environment checks, database health and a searchable plugin log. Secrets (keys, tokens, card numbers) and personal details such as names, addresses and IP addresses are masked before an entry is stored.
- Settings for currency format, order numbering, stock holds and logging.
- A Store Manager role and dedicated capabilities for viewing, editing and refunding orders.
- WP-CLI commands:
wp flexacommerce doctor,wp flexacommerce status,wp flexacommerce db versionandwp flexacommerce db upgrade. - No database queries and no assets on pages outside the store.
Your data on uninstall
By default, deleting the plugin leaves every table, option and setting in place, so reinstalling picks up where you left off. To remove everything, turn on "Delete data on uninstall" in Settings and type DELETE to confirm. Data is removed only when the plugin is deleted from the Plugins screen.
Source code
The admin screens are a React app. Its readable source ships with the plugin in the client/ folder; the compiled files are in assets/dist/.
Installation
- Upload the
flexacommercefolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the zip from Plugins > Add New. - Activate the plugin. On a multisite network you can network-activate it; each site gets its own tables.
- Open FlexaCommerce > Status to confirm the checks pass.
The database must use the InnoDB storage engine. MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+ is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work alongside WooCommerce?
Yes. The two plugins use separate tables and do not share data. A migration tool between them is planned.
Where are the logs?
FlexaCommerce > Status > Logs. Entries older than the retention period (30 days by default) are removed by a daily cron job.
How do I check the install from the command line?
Run wp flexacommerce doctor. It prints the same checks as the Status screen and exits with an error code if any check fails.
