Before you install

System requirements

All ReservePress products run on any modern managed WordPress host. Most hosts meet these requirements by default.

WordPress

6.4 or higher

We recommend staying current with WordPress releases for security and compatibility.

PHP

8.2 or higher

PHP 8.2 required for ReservePress Hotels and Studio. Most managed hosts offer PHP version selection in their control panel.

SSL Certificate

Required

HTTPS is required for Stripe payment processing. Most hosts include a free Let's Encrypt certificate.

Permalinks

Post name

WordPress permalinks must be set to "Post name" for booking URLs to work correctly. Set this under Settings → Permalinks before activating the plugin.

Stripe Account

Required

A free Stripe account is required for payment processing. Connect your API keys in the plugin settings.

SMTP Provider

Recommended

For reliable guest email delivery, we recommend a dedicated SMTP provider — Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, or Brevo all work well.
