How to sell Products and Services on your WordPress website using WooCommerce

WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce plugin for WordPress. We highly recommend reading our article “What Is WooCommerce? Understanding the Basics” if you have never heard about it.

1. Install WooCommerce

To sell products or services on your website, you must install the WooCommerce plugin.

You can do that from the Plugins > Add New Plugin page in the WordPress Dashboard:

Once installed, you can set up your Shop using the WooCommerce Setup Wizard.

3. Add Products & Configure your Store

4. Extend WooCommerce

While WooCommerce itself is free and includes basic eCommerce functionality, many extensions are available, both free and paid to add any kind of feature you want to your shop.

For example, suppose you want to enable a specific payment method on your website, and it’s not available by default in WooCommerce. In that case, you will need to find a 3rd party plugin that allows that payment method and install it on your website.

WooCommerce extensions can be found in the official repository available on wordpress.org. All of these extensions are free, but they might have an additional premium version with more features.
Premium WooCommerce Extensions can be purchased from woocommerce.com.

Here are some popular WooCommerce extensions:

• WooCommerce Subscriptions
• WooCommerce Bookings
• WooCommerce Shipment Tracking
• WooCommerce Photography
• WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway
• WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping
