Vanquish Upload Files for WooCommerce

Descripziun

Vanquish Upload Files for WooCommerce lets you collect files from your customers — logos, artwork, documents, photos — exactly where you need them: on the product page, in the cart, during checkout, or on the order details page.

Whether you run a print shop, a personalization service, or any store that sells custom products, this plugin makes it effortless for customers to provide the input you need to fulfil their orders, with a clean upload experience and a real-time progress bar.

  • Make uploads required so customers can’t order without providing their files.
  • Restrict by file type, size and image dimensions.
  • Get notified by email the moment a customer uploads a file.
  • Fully translatable, WPML-ready.

FAQ

Does it work without WooCommerce?

No. WooCommerce must be installed and active, since uploads are bound to WooCommerce products and orders.

Which product types are supported?

Native WooCommerce simple and variable products. Custom product types added by third-party plugins are not officially supported.

How many files can customers upload in the free version?

The free version supports multiple upload fields per product, with one file per field — you configure how many fields to add in the Upload Files Configurator. The separately distributed Premium version adds multiple files per upload field, cloud storage (Dropbox, Amazon S3, Google Drive), the image crop editor and PDF flipbook preview, among other extras.

Does it support the block-based cart and checkout?

Yes. Both the classic (shortcode) and the block-based WooCommerce cart and checkout are supported. On the block cart/checkout the upload fields appear in the order-summary area.

Is it translatable?

Yes. All button texts are translatable, and the plugin is WPML-ready — you can set distinct texts per language.

Where are uploaded files stored?

By default on your own server. Premium adds Dropbox, Amazon S3 and Google Drive as storage destinations.

Can I place the upload form anywhere with shortcodes? (Premium)

Yes. The Premium version provides shortcodes to render the upload form on any page:

  • [vanupfi_upload_form] – a generic upload form.
  • [vanupfi_product_page_upload_form] – the product-page upload form.
  • [vanupfi_cart_page_upload_form] – the cart upload form.
  • [vanupfi_checkout_page_upload_form] – the checkout upload form.
  • [vanupfi_upload_form_last_order] – the upload form for the customer’s last order.

Important: when you place one of these forms on a page, enable Disable standard upload-field management for the matching page (in the plugin options) so the upload fields are not rendered twice. For example, if you use the product-page form shortcode, disable standard management for the Product page.

Migrating from the CodeCanyon version? The old [wcuf_...] shortcodes keep working as aliases of the new [vanupfi_...] ones, so you do not need to edit your product content.

I migrated from the CodeCanyon version and my shortcodes show as plain text (Premium)

The shortcode prefix changed from wcuf_ to vanupfi_. Since version 1.0.11 the old tags keep working as aliases, so simply updating the plugin is enough. If you prefer to update your content, the mapping is 1:1:

  • [wcuf_upload_form] -> [vanupfi_upload_form]
  • [wcuf_product_page_upload_form] -> [vanupfi_product_page_upload_form]
  • [wcuf_cart_page_upload_form] -> [vanupfi_cart_page_upload_form]
  • [wcuf_checkout_page_upload_form] -> [vanupfi_checkout_page_upload_form]
  • [wcuf_upload_form_last_order] -> [vanupfi_upload_form_last_order]

How much does Premium cost?

You can see all Premium plans and prices on the pricing page: https://vanquishplugins.com/migration/pricing/ – single site or 3, 5 and 10 sites, billed monthly, yearly, or once (lifetime). The same plans are also shown inside the plugin, under the „Upgrade“ menu.

I bought this plugin on CodeCanyon. How do I get the Premium version?

The CodeCanyon item (WooCommerce Upload Files) has been retired and continues here as the free Vanquish Upload Files for WooCommerce. Existing CodeCanyon customers can convert their purchase into a Premium license – including 1 year of updates and support at no extra cost – on the migration page: https://vanquishplugins.com/migration/

This plugin has been an important part of our WooCommerce store for many years, and I believe it is still the best file upload plugin available. It is easy to configure and offers good flexibility for customizing it to your site. We have it set up to upload graphic files at checkout (on the cart page), and customers find the interface easy to use. The few times I have had to reach out to support, the developer has been incredibly helpful and quick to resolve any issues.

Have been using for a long time – developer is super responsive. Best woocommerce file uploader there is. So many options to ensure every store set up is covered.

I’ve been using the „Vanquish Upload Files“ for a few days now and the experience has been super smooth! Very easy to integrate, works perfectly, lots of features already in the free version, so give it a try! I’m seriously considering getting the Premium version: I’m sure the additional functionalities will greatly improve experience of my end-users. Highly recommended!

I have been using the Upload Files for WooCommerce plugin by Vanquish for my online print shop, and it has completely transformed my workflow. If you are looking for a reliable way to collect customer files, look no further. Pros: Incredibly Efficient & Fast: The plugin works seamlessly without slowing down the site. The user experience is smooth, and the real-time progress bar keeps customers informed during the upload. Handles Large Files with Ease: This is the best feature. Thanks to its innovative chunk upload technology, my clients can upload massive high-resolution graphics and ZIP files without hitting server timeout errors. It bypasses standard server limits effortlessly. Super Easy to Use: Setting it up took just a few minutes. The backend configuration panel is highly intuitive, allowing me to assign upload fields to specific products or categories with just a few clicks. Great Flexibility: I love that files can be uploaded on the product page, cart, or even directly at checkout, giving both me and my customers ultimate flexibility. Cons: None so far! It does exactly what it promises. Final Verdict: This plugin is worth every single penny. It has completely eliminated the painful back-and-forth emails with clients chasing missing artwork. If you sell customizable products and need a bulletproof, heavy-duty file uploader, Upload Files by Vanquish is the absolute gold standard. Highly recommended!

Changelog

1.0.17

  • Minor improvements.

1.0.16

  • Minor improvements.

1.0.15

  • Fix: resolved a PHP 8 fatal error on the product/cart/checkout and order pages that could occur when the „Info to report in the Totals area“ option had no value saved. Array-type options are now always handled safely.
  • Fix: the uploaded-files summary box now renders the file list correctly (with names, previews and download links) instead of showing raw HTML text.
  • Hardening: the summary box display setting is treated defensively to avoid any edge-case error.

1.0.14

  • Fix: resolved a PHP 8 fatal error on the product page (and cart/checkout) that could occur when the „Disable standard upload-field management“ option had no value saved. The option is now always treated as a list, so the pages render correctly.

1.0.13

  • Fix: on WordPress 6.7+, activating the plugin could break front-end product pages (a „translation loaded too early“ notice printed into the page). The admin settings screens are no longer built on front-end requests, which resolves this and also speeds up front-end page loads.
  • Internal: removed a small piece of unused, unreachable code.

1.0.12

  • Fix: leftover pieces of interrupted uploads were not being cleaned up from the temporary folder. They are now removed once they are more than two hours old.
  • Fix: the temporary-file cleanup can no longer remove a file that a shopper has already uploaded and is still using during the same visit.
  • Improvement: the clean-up of uploads whose product was removed from the cart no longer runs as a side effect of the cart fee calculation, which makes it predictable and removes a class of edge cases around order completion.
  • Internal: removed a leftover admin endpoint (and its unused scripts) from the days when the plugin asked to restore the classic Cart/Checkout templates. Blocks have been supported since 1.0.4.

1.0.11

  • Fix: the upload-form shortcodes are now always registered, so WordPress no longer prints the raw [vanupfi_...] tag on the storefront when the Premium code is not active. Store administrators see a short explanation instead; visitors see nothing.
  • Improvement: the legacy [wcuf_...] shortcodes from the CodeCanyon version now work as aliases of the current [vanupfi_...] ones, so migrated sites do not need to edit their product content.

1.0.10

  • Fix: uploaded files could be lost (neither moved to the destination folder nor attached to the order) when placing an order through the classic/shortcode checkout while the „Checkout – Files to order association method“ option was set to the „Thank you page“ value. Files are now correctly associated across all checkout types.
  • Fix: resolved a PHP 8 fatal error („Unsupported operand types“) that could occur on some configurations while rendering the frontend styles.
  • Improvement: more robust parsing of the server PHP size limits (post_max_size / upload_max_filesize) and general dead-code cleanup.

1.0.9

  • Internal: updated the HTTP library (Guzzle) bundled with the premium cloud-storage integrations to v7, to prevent version conflicts with other plugins. No functional changes to the free version.

1.0.8

  • Internal: Updated the Freemius SDK to the latest version.

1.0.7

  • Internal: PSR-4 SPL autoloader for the plugin classes; bootstrap simplified and dead code removed. No functional or user-facing changes.

1.0.6

  • Fixed: in the free version the upload area did not appear on the Cart block; it now loads correctly.

1.0.5

  • Fixed: on some block-based (FSE) themes the upload area did not appear on the Cart block; the upload fields now load correctly there. The Checkout block was unaffected.

1.0.4

  • WooCommerce Cart/Checkout blocks: upload fields now work with the block-based cart and checkout, in addition to the classic (shortcode) templates.

1.0.3

  • Internal refactor: introduced PSR-4 namespacing and dropped the legacy class-name prefixes. No functional or user-facing changes.

1.0.2

  • First public release on WordPress.org.
