Getting Started

Installation

Install Smart Add-Ons from your customer portal ZIP on your WooCommerce store in three steps.

Before you start: Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active on your site. Smart Add-Ons cannot activate without WooCommerce.

1

Download the plugin

  1. Go to app.dhyansoftware.com (opens in new tab) and sign in with the email you used at checkout.
  2. Click Licenses in the left menu.
  3. Find your Smart Add-Ons license and click Download Plugin.
  4. Save the file — it will be named something like smart-addons-upsell-engine-v1.0.0.zip.

2

Upload and install

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
  2. Click Upload Plugin at the top of the page.
  3. Click Choose File, select the ZIP file you downloaded, and click Install Now.
  4. After installation completes, click Activate Plugin.

After activation, the plugin will automatically create its 10 database tables and a new Smart Add-Ons menu will appear in your WordPress admin sidebar.

3

Verify installation

  • A Smart Add-Ons menu item appears in the WordPress admin sidebar
  • Going to Smart Add-Ons → Dashboard loads the React admin UI without errors
  • The Smart Add-Ons → License page shows a license key input field

If the menu does not appear, check that WooCommerce is active and that your PHP version is 8.1 or higher (Settings → Site Health → Info → Server).

Alternative: WP-CLI install

If you have WP-CLI access, you can install from a local file path:

wp plugin install /path/to/smart-addons-upsell-engine-v1.0.0.zip --activate

Troubleshooting installation

"WooCommerce must be installed and active"Install and activate WooCommerce first, then activate Smart Add-Ons again.
Database tables not createdDeactivate and reactivate the plugin. If the problem persists, check that your database user has CREATE TABLE permissions.
Smart Add-Ons menu missingCheck PHP version (must be 8.1+). Check wp-admin → Plugins that the plugin status shows "Active".
