# How to Install the Deposit Plugin

Before installing the Deposit Plugin, make sure **WooCommerce** is already installed and activated on your WordPress website. Since the plugin extends WooCommerce's payment functionality, it will not work without WooCommerce.

Follow these steps to install the Deposit Plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory:

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
2. Navigate to **Plugins → Add New Plugin**.
3. In the search bar, type **Deposit**.
4. Locate the **Deposit** plugin in the search results.
5. Click **Install Now**.
6. Once the installation is complete, click **Activate**.

After activation, a new **Deposit** menu will appear in your WordPress dashboard, where you can configure deposit settings, create deposit rules, and manage partial payments.

> **Note:** If WooCommerce is not installed or activated, install and activate it first. The Deposit Plugin depends on WooCommerce to manage products, orders, checkout, and payment functionality.

### Verify the Installation

To ensure the plugin has been installed successfully:

- Go to **Dashboard → Deposit**.
- Confirm that the **Settings**, **Rules**, and other Deposit options are available in the left-hand menu.
- You are now ready to configure the plugin and start accepting deposits or partial payments in your WooCommerce store.
