1. Creating and Managing Products

WooCommerce makes it easy to add and organize products in your store. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to the WooCommerce section and click on “Products”.
3. Click “Add New” to create a new product.
4. Enter the product title, description, and other details.
5. Set the product price, inventory, and shipping options.
6. Add product images to showcase your items.
7. Assign the product to relevant categories and add attributes if needed.
8. Click “Publish” to make the product live in your store.

2. Setting Up Important Pages

Creating essential pages ensures a smooth shopping experience for your customers. Here’s what you need:

1. Home Page: Your store’s main entrance. Use this to showcase featured products and promotions.
2. About Page: Introduce your brand, tell your story, and build trust with your customers.
3. Contact Page: Provide a way for customers to get in touch with you. Consider adding a contact form or your physical store’s address.
4. Shop Page: This page displays your products. WooCommerce automatically creates this when you install the plugin.
5. Cart Page: The shopping cart page where customers review their selected items before checkout. WooCommerce creates this too.
6. Checkout Page: The final step before payment. Make sure it’s simple and secure.
7. Privacy Policy and Terms: Important for legal compliance and building trust.

Remember to keep your product descriptions clear, images high-quality, and your pages easy to navigate. Regularly update your inventory and review your pages to ensure your online store is running smoothly.
