Welcome to the IgnitionDeck plugin wizard (new with IgnitionDeck 1.7.0)! With 6 simple steps, you will have the IgnitionDeck plugin dependancies installed and activated, validate your license, set your commerce platform, and access optional items such as themes and additional support resources!

IgnitionDeck in 6 easy steps

  1. Register

    With the IgnitionDeck plugin installed from the WordPress plugin repository or via ZIP upload, the first step is register with IgnitionDeck to access premium support, updates and announcements, and access downloadable modules. This step is optional. Enter your best email and then click the Register button, or you can skip this step and come back to it later.

  2. Install

    IgnitionDeck has two plugin dependencies: IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding and IgnitionDeck Commerce. Both plugins do need to be installed and activated*. Click the Install/Activate button. Installation and activation times will vary depending on your internet connection and/or server speeds. Once the dependencies have been installed and activated, the status of the plugins will be updated and a continue button will appear to proceed to the next step.

    * If you are using WooCommerce, the IgnitionDeck Commerce plugin must still be installed and activated on your site.

  3. Upgrade

    The Upgrade step is where the IgnitionDeck license can be entered to activate the functionality of IgnitionDeck Echelon or IgnitionDeck Enterprise. Enter your license key into the field and click the Active button. Upon validation of the license, a confirmation notice will be display as well as the expiry date of the current license.

    One the license has been activate, a selection option for the commerce platfrom of the site will displayed:

    • The Free Edition of the plugin will automatically use ID Commerce and will not display a selection option
    • The IgnitionDeck Echelon version of the plugin can be used with ID Commerce or WooCommerce*
    • The IgnitionDeck Enterprise version of the plugin should be used with ID Commerce.
