What Version of PHP Does WooCommerce Work With?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:30 am

As of WooCommerce 3.5, the minimum supported version of PHP is 7.0.

However, we recommend using PHP 7.1 or greater for performance reasons.

PRO TIP: What Version of PHP Does WooCommerce Work With?

– WooCommerce requires at least PHP 5.2.4. However, we recommend using PHP 5.6 or greater for the best performance.

– If you are using an older version of PHP, you may experience issues with your site. We strongly recommend upgrading to a newer version of PHP.

For example, PHP 7.0 is up to twice as fast as PHP 5.6 when handling requests.

In addition, many features in WooCommerce 3.5 require PHP 7.0 or greater.

If you are running an older version of PHP, you will need to upgrade before upgrading to WooCommerce 3.5.
