NuxCube Setup Guide

Step-by-step guide to installing and configuring NuxCube — from system requirements and Stripe setup to all 23 extensions, written in plain English. No Composer, no Node.js, no command line required.

Before You Start — Requirements

WordPress 6.4 or newer, PHP 8.1+, MySQL 8.0+, SSL certificate enabled, 256 MB PHP memory limit. Download the plugin ZIP from your account area at nuxcube.com/downloads.

Step 1 — Install & Activate

Go to WP Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Choose nuxcube-1.5.14.zip, click Install Now, then Activate. Enter your licence key when prompted.

Step 2 — Run the Setup Wizard

The wizard walks you through store name, currency, timezone, and user roles. Configure product types (physical, digital, subscriptions), shipping zones, and tax settings. All done inside WP Admin — no file editing needed.

Step 3 — Connect Stripe

Follow the Stripe onboarding flow from the NuxCube settings panel. Enable Test Mode to place test orders before going live. NuxCube connects directly to Stripe Payment Elements — no Node.js sidecar required.

Step 4 — Add Your First Product

Go to NuxCube → Products → Add New. Enter name, description, price, and stock level. Assign categories and upload images. Save and publish.

Step 5 — Enable Checkout

Assign the Shop, Cart, and Checkout pages in NuxCube → Settings → Pages. Place the NuxCube Elementor widgets on your pages using the Elementor 4 editor.

Step 6 — Test & Launch

Place a test order using Stripe's test card (4242 4242 4242 4242). Verify the order appears in WP Admin. Check permalink settings if you encounter 404 errors (Settings → Permalinks → Save). Review the security checklist before going live.

Extensions Setup

Each of the 23 extensions has targeted setup steps. Key extensions: Affiliates (referral tracking), Agentic AI (Brain service connection), Analytics Pro (reporting dashboard), Subscriptions (recurring billing), Memberships (content gating), and Loyalty (points and rewards).
