Do you want to start selling your products online, but are still looking for a platform to launch and run a shop? If so, the WordPress system and the WooCommerce plugin come to the rescue. Check out how you can enjoy a fully functional online shop.
WooCommerce - what is it?
WooCommerce is a WordPress plug-in that allows you to turn your website into a functioning online shop. WordPress, on the other hand, is a platform that allows you to launch any type of website, such as business cards, a portfolio, a blog or just an online shop.
With the help of this plug-in, you can not only create e-stores, but also add products, descriptions and technical parameters or photos of articles to them. In the free basic version, it is possible to include discount coupons, set prices for various forms of shipment, and define basic forms of payment, e.g. PayPal, Blik, etc.
How do I install the WooCommerce plugin on popular CMS?
Installing WooCommerce is child's play, takes little time and requires little commitment. However, you must use WordPress to install this plug-in.
If you already have one, go to the 'Plugins' tab and then click 'Add new'. A search engine will appear where you need to type in "WooCommerce". And here you should be careful, as there are many plugins with a similar name. To avoid an error, it is a good idea to verify the author of the plugin - it is Automattic. Click "Install now" and then "Enable". Done! As you can see, even inexperienced people can handle the installation. Importantly, the WooComerce plug-in is ready to use straight away.
