How Do I Set My WooCommerce Homepage in WordPress?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 8:21 am

If you’re running a WooCommerce store on your WordPress site, you’ll want to make sure that your homepage is set up correctly to showcase your products and encourage visitors to make a purchase. In this article, we’ll show you how to set up your WooCommerce homepage in WordPress.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the WooCommerce plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin. Once you’ve installed and activated WooCommerce, you’ll be taken to the WooCommerce Setup Wizard.

On the first page of the Setup Wizard, you’ll be asked to select which type of products you’re selling. Make sure to select the correct option and then click on the “Continue” button.

On the next page, you’ll be asked to enter some basic information about your store, such as your address and currency. Once you’ve entered all the required information, click on the “Continue” button.

On the next page, you’ll be asked to choose a theme for your store. You can either use one of the default WooCommerce themes or a custom theme. If you want to use one of the default themes, simply click on the “Continue” button.

PRO TIP: If you are using the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, it is important to note that the default setting for the WooCommerce homepage is the shop page. This means that if you have not set up a shop page, your WooCommerce homepage will be blank. To set up a WooCommerce shop page, go to WooCommerce > Settings and select the Pages tab. From here, you can select the pages you want to use for your shop, checkout, and cart pages.

If you want to use a custom theme, we recommend choosing one that’s specifically designed for WooCommerce stores. For more details, see our article on choosing the best WooCommerce themes. Once you’ve chosen your theme, click on the “Continue” button.

On the next page, you’ll be asked to install some recommended plugins for your store. These plugins are not required but they will add some extra features to your store such as product reviews and social media integration. If you don’t want to install any of these plugins, simply click on the “Skip this step” link.

Once you’ve skipped or installed the recommended plugins, you’ll be taken to the final step of the Setup Wizard which is setting up payment methods. Here you can choose which payment methods you want to offer to your customers.

We recommend choosing at least one major credit card processor such as PayPal or Stripe. Once you’ve made your selection, click on the “Continue” button.

You’ve now completed the Setup Wizard and your WooCommerce store is ready to go! For more details on setting up your store, see our article on how to configure WooCommerce settings.
