About WooCommerce Amazon S3 Storage 2.1.6
WooCommerce Amazon S3 Storage lets you sell digital downloads stored in your own Amazon AWS S3 account. In the download file path of a product you enter the bucket and object name using shortcodes. When a customer downloads their purchase, the extension turns that into an S3 URL.
The listing says this is fully automated, so you don't copy links by hand. The file on record is version 2.1.6, released in October 2017. It is old, so test downloads with your current WooCommerce and your S3 setup on a staging store before selling.
Requirements
- WooCommerce
- An Amazon AWS account with an S3 bucket
Key features
- S3-hosted downloads
- Serve digital products from an Amazon S3 bucket.
- Shortcode file paths
- Enter the bucket and object name with shortcodes in the download path.
- Automatic URLs
- The extension turns the shortcode into an S3 URL when a customer downloads.
- Offloads hosting
- Large files are served from S3 rather than your own server.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- WooCommerce stores selling large digital files that strain their web host.
- Owners who already keep product files in AWS S3.
Look elsewhere if
- Stores that sell small files and don't use AWS.
- Stores without downloadable products.
How to install WooCommerce Amazon S3 Storage 2.1.6
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Setup: using WooCommerce Amazon S3 Storage 2.1.6
- Prepare your S3 bucket. Upload your files to a bucket and create AWS access keys with limited permission.
- Activate the plugin. Enter your AWS credentials in the plugin settings.
- Edit a downloadable product. In the download file path, use the shortcode with the bucket and object name as the documentation describes.
- Test a purchase. Buy the product with a test order and confirm the file downloads.
Common problems and fixes
The download returns an Access Denied error.
- Why it happens
- The AWS keys or bucket policy don't allow reading that object, or the bucket name or object path is wrong.
- How to fix it
- Check the IAM permissions, bucket name and exact file path, then retest.
Downloads fail in a newer AWS region.
- Why it happens
- Old S3 code from 2017 may not support the signing method some regions require.
- How to fix it
- Test in your region. If it fails, use a bucket in a region that works with this version.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
