BEATSTORE

Docs / BeatStore WordPress Plugin

Installation

BeatStore 4.x ships as a zip whose folder is beatstore-wp/. Requirements: WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.1+, and exactly one of Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce.

5 minute install

  1. Purchase and download the plugin zip.
  2. In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Choose the zip, Install Now, then Activate.
  4. Enter your Freemius license key (it is in the purchase email).
  5. Install and activate Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce from Plugins → Add New (wordpress.org). BeatStore shows a notice until one of those is active. Do not run both as catalog backends.

Manual install

  1. Extract the zip.
  2. Upload the beatstore-wp folder to /wp-content/plugins/ over SFTP.
  3. Activate BeatStore under Plugins.
  4. Enter the license key, then activate EDD or Woo as above.

Coming from 3.x on the same site: keep the folder name beatstore-wp, then run Import. Next: Getting Started.

Optional PDF agreements: install BeatStore Contracts as a second zip. A player key does not unlock PDFs.
