Introduction to WooCommerce
Turning WordPress Into a Store
WooCommerce is a free, open-source plugin that transforms a regular WordPress site into a fully functional online store, complete with product listings, a shopping cart, and checkout.
Getting Started with WooCommerce
Install and activate WooCommerce like any other plugin, then follow its setup wizard to configure store location, currency, and shipping basics.
WooCommerce automatically creates key pages such as Shop, Cart, Checkout, and My Account during setup.
Why Choose WooCommerce
It integrates natively with WordPress, so you keep using the same dashboard, themes, and content tools you already know.
A large ecosystem of extensions covers shipping, subscriptions, bookings, and marketing needs as your store grows.
| Feature | What It Provides |
|---|---|
| Product catalog | Lists items with images, prices, and variations |
| Cart & checkout | Lets customers purchase products |
| My Account page | Order history and customer details |
| Extensions | Add shipping, subscriptions, and more |
With WooCommerce installed, the next step is actually adding products, connecting payments, and managing the orders that come in.
