Requirements
All you need for using ASA2 is:
- A WordPress site
- Optional: Amazon Associates account with access to the Amazon Product Advertisment API (Amazon PA API). Since version 1.15.0, ASA2 can be used without Amazon PA API.
- Please also check the PHP requirements
PHP Version Requirements
Different features of ASA2 have different PHP version requirements:
| Feature | Minimum PHP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ASA2 Core | 7.4 | Basic functionality |
| PA API 5.0 | 7.4 | Traditional Amazon API |
| Creators API | 8.1 | New Amazon API (recommended) |
| Recommended | 8.3+ | Per WordPress recommendations |
INFO
Creators API requires PHP 8.1 or higher. If your server runs an older PHP version, ASA2 will automatically use PA API 5.0 instead. We recommend upgrading to PHP 8.1+ to take advantage of the new Creators API features.
The Amazon PA API works with both your AWS root user and IAM users (the latter is recommended). For more details about the required API account see Setup Account.
