Requirements
System and software requirements for running the Nventory plugin.
Software Requirements
| Requirement | Minimum Version | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 5.8+ | 6.4+ |
| WooCommerce | 5.0+ | 9.0+ |
| PHP | 7.4+ | 8.1+ |
WooCommerce Dependency
WooCommerce must be installed and activated before Nventory can run. The plugin checks for WooCommerce on activation and will display an admin notice if it's missing.
If WooCommerce is deactivated while Nventory is active, the plugin will stop functioning and display a warning notice until WooCommerce is reactivated.
HPOS Compatibility
Nventory fully supports WooCommerce's High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). The plugin declares HPOS compatibility automatically — no configuration needed.
Server Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| HTTPS | Required for secure connection to Nventory |
| Outbound HTTPS | Your server must allow outbound requests to app.nventory.io |
Browser Requirements
The Nventory admin interface works in all modern browsers:
- Chrome 90+
- Firefox 90+
- Safari 14+
- Edge 90+
JavaScript must be enabled for the product catalog and settings pages to function.
Hosting Compatibility
Nventory works on all standard WordPress hosting environments including:
- Shared hosting (SiteGround, Bluehost, etc.)
- Managed WordPress hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel)
- VPS / dedicated servers
- Docker-based environments
Some security plugins or server firewalls may block outbound API requests. If you have trouble connecting, check that requests to app.nventory.io are not being blocked.
