Step 1: Install and Activate the WooCommerce Plugin
This first step is also the most basic. Simply install and activate WooCommerce just as you would for any other plugin.
Step 2: Add Your Store’s Basic Information
The first thing you’ll see after activating the WooCommerce plugin is the setup wizard.
WooCommerce needs to create a few default pages for your store to function properly. These are:
- Shop
- Cart
- Checkout
- My Account
Let’s see how to create these pages with the Setup Wizard.
Click Let’s Go! button to go to the Page Setup.
This will help you set up your site in a few simple steps. It’s worth noting that any settings you configure here can easily be changed later.
Where is your store based?
In this step you provide the location of your store and if you’re setting up a store for a client.
In which industry does the store operate?
Here, you can select in which industry or industries your store operates. If you select “Other” you’re able to identify a different industry.
What type of products will be listed?
You’re able to identify which product types you plan to sell in your store and learn more about some types of products, such as Memberships or Subscriptions. If you choose a paid product you can easily purchase it later in the wizard.
