# Installing and Activating an Iconic Plugin

**Coming soon:** Iconic is becoming part of Kadence Shop Kit. You may see both names used while we update the product, documentation, and customer experience.

Congratulations on purchasing an Iconic plugin. You’re just a few steps away from getting it installed and activated on your WooCommerce site.

## Step 1: Download your plugin

1. After purchasing the plugin through the Iconic website, you will be able to login to your account here: [https://my.iconicwp.com/](https://my.iconicwp.com/)

3. Once you’ve logged in, click on the **Downloads & Add Ons** link in the left-hand sidebar.

5. While you’re here, copy the plugin’s license key in the field under **License**. We’ll need that for the next stage.

## Step 3: Paste your license key

To make sure you have full access to all your plugin’s features and our premium support, as well as updates, the next step is to enter your license key.

1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to **WooCommerce**, then click the name of your plugin from the left-hand sidebar.
2. Once there, make sure to check the settings for your plugin. The location to paste the license key we copied earlier, can usually be found in the **Dashboard** tab.
