WooCommerce server requirements

Find out what are the server recommendations for running a WooCommerce store

The WooCommerce Server Recommendations can help you set your store up for success and provide good user experience.

A WooCommerce store requires these minimum requirements: 

  • PHP 7.2 or greater (note PHP 7.0 is End of Life on 3 Dec 2018; PHP 5.6 EOL is 31 Dec 18)

  • MySQL 5.6 or greater (or MariaDB 10 or greater)

  • WooCommerce 2.5 requires WordPress 4.1+

  • WooCommerce 2.6 requires WordPress 4.4+

  • WP Memory limit of 128 MB or higher

  • HTTPS support (an SSL certificate)

By following these recommendations, you should be able to run a store with up to 500 products without any issues in your WooCommerce store. It is possible, however, that other changes will need to be made due to the customizability of your store.

If your WooCommerce site doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, many plugins might not function as expected, and it also might affect AutoDS integration with your store.
