Customers should not have to wait for emailed ZIP files or manually reinstall every new version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, you will learn <strong>how to install the Plugin Update Server<\/strong> by XoBytes, activate your license, connect WooCommerce products, and prepare your first private plugin release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, your WooCommerce website can become a private update server for the plugins you sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Plugin Update Server by XoBytes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plugin Update Server by XoBytes<\/strong> helps software sellers deliver private WordPress plugin updates from their own website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of using WordPress.org, you can host your own release ZIPs, connect them to WooCommerce products, and protect downloads with license checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, when a customer has an active license, they can receive update notices inside their WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Install the Plugin Update Server Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The setup is simple when you follow the process in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you install the plugin. Then, you activate your license. After that, you map your WooCommerce products and upload plugin releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once everything is connected, your customers can receive private plugin updates from your own website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before You Install the Plugin Update Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin, make sure your website is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A working WordPress website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WooCommerce installed and active.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Plugin Update Server ZIP file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your XoBytes license key.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A plugin ZIP file you want to sell or update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you want license-protected updates, you should use a license system such as <a href=\"https:\/\/xobytes.com\/shop\/product\/woocommerce-license-manager-plugin\/\">Xobytes License Manager for WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Download the Plugin ZIP File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, download the Plugin Update Server ZIP file from your XoBytes account or order downloads area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The file may look similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>plugin-update-server-by-xobytes.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not unzip the file before uploading it to WordPress. WordPress needs the ZIP file for the normal plugin upload process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Upload the Plugin to WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, log into your WordPress admin dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Plugins &gt; Add New &gt; Upload Plugin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Then click <strong>Choose File<\/strong> and select the Plugin Update Server ZIP file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, click <strong>Install Now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once WordPress finishes the upload, click <strong>Activate Plugin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Activate Your XoBytes License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After activation, go to the Plugin Update Server license page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paste your XoBytes license key into the license field. Then click <strong>Activate License<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the license is valid, the status should show as active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This matters because the Plugin Update Server is a licensed product. If the license is not active, the main update server features should stay locked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Confirm the Dashboard Loads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, open the Plugin Update Server dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see the main admin area with sections for plugins, releases, logs, settings, and help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the dashboard loads correctly, the plugin is installed and ready for setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Create a WooCommerce Product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now create the WooCommerce product that customers will buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Products &gt; Add New<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Add your product name, price, product image, short description, and long description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your product might be named:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>My Plugin Pro<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After you publish the product, copy the product ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can usually find it in the product edit URL. For example, if the URL contains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>post=123<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>then the product ID is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>123<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Add the Plugin Under Plugins \/ Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Plugin Update Server &gt; Plugins \/ Products<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where you connect your plugin to a WooCommerce product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the plugin details, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plugin name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plugin slug<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Main plugin file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WooCommerce product ID<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Plugin Name: My Plugin Pro\nPlugin Slug: my-plugin-pro\nMain Plugin File: my-plugin-pro\/my-plugin-pro.php\nWooCommerce Product ID: 123<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If the plugin is already installed on your site, use the available plugin dropdown when possible. This can auto-fill the plugin name, slug, and main plugin file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Upload Your First Release ZIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the plugin is mapped, go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Plugin Update Server &gt; Releases<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now upload the plugin ZIP file that customers should install or receive as an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you upload the customer plugin ZIP, not the Plugin Update Server ZIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, upload:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>my-plugin-pro-v1.0.1.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not upload:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>plugin-update-server-by-xobytes.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This is important because the update server must save the release files for the plugin you are selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Add Version and Compatibility Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each release should include version and compatibility details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use fields such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires WordPress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tested up to<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires PHP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changelog<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Version: 1.0.1\nRequires WP: 6.0\nTested up to: 6.8.2\nRequires PHP: 7.4<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>These details help customers understand what changed before they update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 9: Enable Auto-Inject Update Client<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The update client is what lets a customer plugin talk to your private update server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you upload a release, leave <strong>Auto-Inject Update Client<\/strong> turned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This adds these files to the release ZIP:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>includes\/xobytes-update-client.php\nincludes\/xobytes-update-bootstrap.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>It also patches the plugin\u2019s main file with the update bootstrap code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, the customer\u2019s installed plugin can check your update server for future versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 10: Download or Use the Prepared Release ZIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the release is uploaded and injected, use the prepared ZIP for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the release history actions to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the release ZIP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inject or repair the update files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the update client file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the bootstrap file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to verify the update files, extract the prepared release ZIP and confirm these files exist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>includes\/xobytes-update-client.php\nincludes\/xobytes-update-bootstrap.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Also confirm the main plugin file includes the XoBytes update bootstrap require block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 11: Test the Plugin on Another WordPress Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before selling the plugin, test the prepared ZIP on a different WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Install the prepared plugin ZIP on the test site. Then activate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, enter a valid license key in the plugin\u2019s license screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the license screen will appear under:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Settings &gt; Plugin Name License<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the license is active, the plugin should be able to check your private update server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 12: Test an Update Notice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To test an update, upload a newer release version to the Plugin Update Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if the test site has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Version: 1.0.0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>upload a release with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Version: 1.0.1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Then go to the test site and open:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Dashboard &gt; Updates<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <strong>Check again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the license is active and the release version is newer, WordPress should show an update notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 13: Check the Logs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After testing, review the Plugin Update Server logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The logs can show update checks and downloads. They can also help you find problems with license status, plugin slugs, or version numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an update does not appear, check the logs before changing code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Installation Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Plugin Will Not Upload<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the plugin will not upload, make sure you are uploading the ZIP file. Also, check your hosting file upload limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The License Will Not Activate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your license does not activate, copy the key again and remove extra spaces. Then try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure your website can connect to the XoBytes license server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Release ZIP Is Wrong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the release ZIP extracts into the wrong plugin folder, delete that release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then upload the correct customer plugin ZIP again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Update Does Not Show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the update does not show, check the installed version and release version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release version must be higher than the version installed on the customer site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, confirm the license is active and the plugin slug matches the mapped plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended XoBytes Software Stack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugin Update Server works best when it is part of a full software-selling setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xobytes.com\/shop\/product\/woocommerce-license-manager-plugin\/\">Xobytes License Manager<\/a> for license keys and activations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plugin Update Server by XoBytes<\/strong> for private update delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xobytes.com\/shop\/product\/tamper-guard-software-for-wordpress-plugins\/\">Tamper Guard<\/a> for plugin file protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xobytes.com\/shop\/product\/agent-shield-protect-against-agentic-software\/\">AgentShield<\/a> for bot, scraper, and AI crawler protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful WordPress Resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about how WordPress plugins are structured, you can review the official <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is useful because Plugin Update Server needs to detect the correct plugin header and main plugin file inside each release ZIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know <strong>how to install the Plugin Update Server<\/strong> by XoBytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, install and activate the plugin.
