Getting started with the plugin

Requirements

Before installing Probo Connect, make sure you have:

• WordPress 6.7 or higher
• PHP 8.0 or higher
• WooCommerce installed and activated
• A Probo reseller account with an API key

Installation

1. Download the Probo Connect plugin via the WordPress Plugin Directory
2. Once installed, click Activate.

Note: WooCommerce must be active before activating Probo Connect. The plugin checks for WooCommerce and will not load its product features without it.

After activation, you'll find a Settings link on the plugins page that takes you directly to the Probo configuration.

Setting Up Your API Key

1. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Probo Settings.
2. If this is your first time, you'll see a "Getting Started" notice with helpful links.
3. Paste your Probo API Key into the API Key field.
   • Enter the key without the Basic prefix — just the key itself.
4. Click Save changes.

Testing with Sandbox Mode

Before going live, use Sandbox Mode to test your setup without producing real orders:

1. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Probo Settings.
2. Check Sandbox mode.
3. Click Save changes.

When sandbox mode is active:

• A warning notice appears at the top of the settings page.
• Orders are submitted to Probo as test orders.
• Probo automatically cancels test orders — nothing is printed or shipped.
• You can test the full flow: product configuration → cart → checkout → order sync.

Remember to disable sandbox mode before going live!
