Getting Started With WPCD Multi-tenant

Pre-requisites

Before you can use the WPCD Multi-tenant module you need the following:

Install and activate the WPCD GIT module.
If you intend to allow your customers to purchase their own sites you’ll need to install and WPCD WooCommerce module as well as the WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions plugins.

Activating Multi-tenant Options

Multi-tenant is a premium option offered only as a combined software + services product. The software (plugin) is not available without the services component.

The software itself is provided as a regular WordPress plugin – upload and activate it from the WordPress PLUGINS screen.

Once activated you will see a few new options:

~~A new Multi-tenant tab in your global SETTINGS area under WPCLOUDDEPLOY → APP: WORDPRESS SETTINGS → MULTI-TENANT~~
~~A new Multi-tenant tab under each server~~
A new Multi-tenant tab under each site

Restrictions

Currently, Multi-tenant features are only support on NGINX webservers and on server providers who allow ‘root’ logins. This means that providers such as AWS, AZURE and GOOGLE are not supported. We hope to remove these restrictions shortly.

Next Steps

Deploy a server that will store your template sites, version sites and tenant sites. This is the simplest multi-tenant configuration where everything resides on a single server. You’ll want lots of disk space to start since you will likely be experimenting with multiple templates and versions of those templates
Create a product template site
Create one or more versions of your template
Specify a default version (see SETTING A DEFAULT VERSION in the product template versions documentation)
Create a WooCommerce product (see WooCommerce Multi-tenant Integration & the standard WooCommerce Integration documentation)
Go through the customer purchase process in a separate browser

Support Policy

As mentioned in our introduction to Multi-tenant document, this module is only available with a services or upgraded support contact. Software developers can grab the code our github repository.
