First installation and guided setup of the plugin

Goal

Install the POP plugin on a WordPress/WooCommerce site and complete the initial account setup.

Prerequisites

• A WordPress site with WooCommerce active.
• Minimum supported versions: see minimum-requirements.
• An email address to create (or link) the POP account.

Steps

1. Download/install the plugin from wp-admin > Plugins > Add New, searching for “POP – European e-invoicing compliance for e-commerce”, or upload the zip downloaded from WordPress.org.
2. Click Activate.
3. The first time a wp-admin page loads after activation, the plugin automatically redirects to the wizard (POP → Electronic Invoice - Settings, tab Wizard setup). The redirect happens only once and only if the account is not yet linked (no license_key and no POP account associated).
4. If you are not redirected, open POP → Electronic Invoice - Settings manually and go to the Wizard setup tab (visible only until the account is linked).
5. Enter the account email: if you already have a POP account it links it, otherwise it creates a new one. You’ll receive an OTP code by email to authenticate.
6. Complete the business details requested by the wizard (country, tax regime if in Italy, personal/ company data). Once completed, the Wizard setup tab disappears from the menu.

Verify

• The Wizard setup tab is no longer visible among the settings tabs.
• In POP → Electronic Invoice - Settings, tab General, the license shows as linked.
• The WordPress admin bar shows the POP entry with the environment status (Live/Sandbox).

Common errors

• The wizard doesn’t start automatically after activation — the redirect is “one-shot”: if you’ve already opened another admin page in the meantime, open directly admin.php?page=wc_el_inv-options-page&tab=wizard&wizard=init.
• The OTP email doesn’t arrive — check your email provider’s spam/anti-spam filters; the address used for the wizard must be reachable.
• Compatibility is not guaranteed with untested themes/plugins — before installing in production, test in a staging environment that mirrors your real e-commerce setup: universal compatibility with every theme/plugin combination cannot be guaranteed.
