A simple, step-by-step guide for non-techies to launch a website with WooCommerce.
This is your website's address (like www.mystore.com) and the plot of land on the internet where your site lives. Choose a name that's easy to remember!
Think of WordPress as the free and powerful foundation for your store. Most hosting providers offer a simple "one-click" installation.
WooCommerce is a free "plugin" that transforms your WordPress site into a fully functional online store. You can find and install it from your WordPress dashboard.
A theme is the design or "look" of your store. Choose one that is "WooCommerce compatible." Many great free and paid options are available.
Time to stock your shelves! Add product names, upload photos, write descriptions, and set your prices. This is the fun part!
Connect payment gateways like Stripe (for credit cards) and PayPal. This lets your customers pay you securely for their orders.
Decide where you'll ship to and how much to charge. You can set up flat rates, free shipping, or rates based on location.
Congratulations! Do a final check, test everything, and then proudly share your new online store with the world.
