Last updated on January 22, 2023 @ 11:47 am

WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to turn your WordPress site into an online store. Setting up a WooCommerce shop on WordPress is a fairly straightforward process, and in this article, we’ll show you how to do it.

Before we get started, you’ll need to make sure that you have a few things set up:

  • A domain name and hosting – this is where your website will live on the internet
  • A WordPress site – you can install WordPress yourself, or use a service like WP Engine to set up your site for you
  • The WooCommerce plugin – you can download this for free from the WordPress plugin repository

Once you have all of those things set up, you’re ready to start setting up your WooCommerce shop. The first thing you’ll need to do is install the WooCommerce plugin.

You can do this by going to the Add New page in your WordPress admin area and searching for “WooCommerce”. Once you’ve found the plugin, click Install Now and then Activate.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with WordPress or WooCommerce, we recommend that you seek help from a professional before attempting to set up a shop. There are many moving parts to setting up a WooCommerce shop, and it is easy to make mistakes that can be difficult to fix without help.
