When it comes to setting up an online shop, WooCommerce is one of the most popular choices for WordPress users. It’s a plugin that turns your WordPress website into a fully functioning eCommerce store.
And it does so with relatively little effort on your part.
One of the first things you need to do when setting up a WooCommerce store is to determine which products you want to sell. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s important to take some time to consider which products will best suit your business. Once you’ve decided on the products you want to sell, you need to take some time to set up your shop.
There are two ways to add products to your WooCommerce store: manually or via an import. If you have a small number of products, then adding them manually might be the best option.
But if you have a large number of products, then importing them would be the better choice. Either way, it’s important to ensure that all your products are properly entered into WooCommerce.
Once you’ve added your products, it’s time to start setting up your shop pages. The first thing you need to do is create a “Shop” page.
This is the page where all your products will be displayed. To do this, go to the Pages section of your WordPress dashboard and click “Add New.”
Give your page a title (like “Shop” or “Store”) and then click the “Publish” button. Once your page is published, you need to go to the Settings section of WooCommerce and click on the “Products” tab. On this tab, you need to select the “Shop Page” option and then select the page you just created from the drop-down menu.
Now that you’ve created your shop page and selected it in WooCommerce settings, all your products should be displayed on that page. If you want more control over how your products are displayed, then you can use the built-in product categories and tags.
Product categories are a great way to organize your products into groups. This can be helpful for both shoppers and search engines.
To create product categories, go to the Products section of your WordPress dashboard and click on the “Categories” tab. From here, you can add new product categories and assign existing products to those categories.
Product tags are another way to organize your products. They provide more granular control than categories do.
So if you have a lot of products, tags can be very helpful in organizing them. To create product tags, go again to the Products section of your WordPress dashboard and click on the “Tags” tab. From here, you can add new tags and assign existing products to those tags.
Conclusion:
WooCommerce makes it easy to set up an online shop and sell products using WordPress. You can add products manually or via an import, and then use product categories and tags help organize those items for shoppers or search engines.
