Installation of the Verifone Hosted cart plugin can and should be done just like for any other plugin. Overall, there are two possible ways of installing the plugin:

* Via the user interface (UI)
* Manually, by copying the plugin files to the appropriate location inside the WordPress installation

## Installation via the UI <a href="#installation-via-the-ui" id="installation-via-the-ui"></a>

Follow these steps below to install the Verifone Hosted cart via WordPress:

1. Before proceeding, make sure you have downloaded the [Verifone Payment Module](/online-payments/plugins/woocommerce-plugin-integration.md#download-the-verifone-payment-module).
2. Log in to the WordPress administration panel (generally located at \<URL>/wp-admin).
3. Navigate to *Plugins* and click on **Add new**.

5. Click on **Choose File**, select your file and press **Install now**. The plugin folder must be in a **.zip** format. No other format is accepted at this time.

6. After installing the plugin, navigate to *Plugins → Installed Plugins* (or simply use the navigation menu on the left-hand side) and click on **Activate** to enable the plugin.

## Manual installation <a href="#woocommerceovergbxtroubleshootingguide-bycopyingthepluginfilestotoappropriatelocation" id="woocommerceovergbxtroubleshootingguide-bycopyingthepluginfilestotoappropriatelocation"></a>

To install the plugin manually by copying the plugin files to the appropriate location inside the WordPress installation, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your WordPress installation folder.
2. Inside this folder, you should see a folder called **wp-content**. Navigate to that folder.
3. Inside the **wp-content**, you should see another folder called **plugins**. Navigate to the **plugins** folder.
4. Inside the **plugins** folder, copy and paste ALL the **Verifone-hosted cart files** as they are listed.
5. If you cannot see the folders mentioned above, then your WordPress installation is incorrect.

Once the installation is complete, make sure to [configure the Verifone settings](/online-payments/plugins/woocommerce-plugin-integration/automatic-setup.md).
