PHP Version Requirements¶
Different features of ASA2 have different PHP version requirements:

Recommended |
8.3+ |
Per WordPress recommendations |
Note
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 Set up Amazon Associate Account.
