Install and activate
SSA installs like any WordPress plugin. Activation creates its tables and opens the setup wizard.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or newer, on PHP 7.4 or newer.
- MySQL 5.7 or newer, or MariaDB 10.2 or newer. The reports use JSON functions the older versions lack.
- A single-site WordPress install. Multisite is not supported.
- A Stripe account, and a key with read access to your data (Connect Stripe > Create a restricted key shows how).
Install from the Plugins screen
Upload the plugin folder to
wp-content/plugins/sad-subscription-analytics, for example over FTP or your host's file manager.Or, from the Plugins screen, choose Upload Plugin, pick the ZIP file, click Install Now, then Activate.
What activation does
Activation creates the plugin's database tables and records its database version, and later updates keep that structure up to date automatically. Provider data you have already synced is not re-derived by an update, so an accuracy fix in a later version applies to newly synced data.
Right after activation SSA sends you to its dashboard, where the setup wizard opens. Deactivating keeps every table and setting. Remove all SSA data when the plugin is deleted is off by default in Diagnostics, so deleting the plugin keeps your data too unless you turn that on (see Deactivate versus delete).
