Ultimate WooCommerce Tutorial for Beginners in 2022 – Start your eCommerce store today! Do you want to start an eCommerce business using WooCommerce? WooCommerce is the world’s most popular eCommerce platform that is super-flexible, cost-effective, and easy to manage even for beginners. In this ultimate WooCommerce tutorial, we’ll guide you through how to set up your WooCommerce site with step-by-step instructions and we will also share some WooCommerce resources to help you grow your store. Before you can start setting up WooCommerce, you would need to have a site to set up and for a hosting provider we would recommend BlueHost who we have set up an deal with for our users that you can receive using our referral/affiliate link below: https://wpbeginner.com/refer/bluehost Once you have signed up and have your site created, you would want to go under Plugins, Add New, and search for the WooCommerce plugin to install and activate. Once the plugin is activated you will be brought into the WooCommerce setup wizard to set up your store information, the type of store you will be making, the products, being sold, and a few final recommended customizations to help ensure your site is set up properly. After you’ve gone through that wizard, we would recommend going into the WooCommerce settings and setting up customizing the measurements and other settings to ensure the store works for your type of product and audience. You can add new products under Products, Add New in your wp-admin area and set up a product on your site including the price, featured image, and description. Once the product is published your visitors should be able to see it on your store. If you have not changed your permalinks yet, we would recommend going under Settings, Permalinks to set the permalinks as the Post Name as our recommended version for SEO and the product permalinks, the default is normally a good setting to choose. If you are using the default theme added with your site then you can customize it under Appearance, Customize it or completely change it under Appearance, Themes. Some hosting providers install themes that you can use or if you use the Add New button at the top of your themes area you should be able to search through themes from WordPress.org using the feature filter. If you wanted to set your shop as your site’s home page, you can do so under Settings, Reading for your site, select a static page and have your Shop page be set as the Homepage. If you wanted to have a blog on your site as well, you can set your posts page here. If you don’t have extra pages then you can create one by going under Pages, Add New. . We set up a form on our site using WPForms who our hosting provider has installed for us. If your hosting provider does not automatically install WPForms then you can get the lite version from WordPress.org below:
Contact Form by WPForms – Drag & Drop Form Builder for WordPressWe will go under WPForms, All Forms, and click the Add New button to start creating a new form. This will bring up the interface for customizing your contact form to work how you are wanting. For tracking your store’s analytics, we would recommend MonsterInsights who’s Pro version helps you track your store’s analytics. You can get the Pro version of MonsterInsights from their site below: https://www.monsterinsights.com/ Lastly, in our guide we will show you how to improve your conversions using OptinMonster:

Amazing teacher. Thank you ma’am. Your tutorial is actually one of the best I’ve come across concerning this topic. Thank you again.
I want to add a small shop page on my already existing website, instead of a website that is only a shop. Will this process be the same or would it delete the rest of my website when I add the woocommerce feature?
If you already have a site set up then you would want to go directly to the step of installing WooCommerce so you don’t delete the current content on your site π
Thank You!!!
Very great video if you are just getting started or starting after some time this video is a treat for you (tip: watch it in 1.5x speed)
Glad you liked our video π
Does 1.5 speed help the sharpness because its blurry when I watch it. Plenty of valuable info in it. Very helpful otherwise.
I need help!!!! Somehow while I was following this tutorial, I had an image show up on my header image and I cannot figure out how it got on there or how to get it off.Canyou tell me how to remove it??? I guess I did something wrong somewhere??
It would depend on your specific theme, we would first recommend checking the documentation for your theme to see if it has a setting for your header or if it sets the header based on your featured image. As each theme is different there are many different ways that it could have been added.
I’m going to try this tomorrow. Thank you for this video.
Hope you like it!
Is PayPal the only payment portal available?
There are multiple payment options available for WooCommerce.
Thank you for the upload. Question for you if you don’t mind? What if I already have a domain and host? I purchased my domain from godaddy and I want to move my store from shopify to woo commerce. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
If you have a new host then most should have an option to use a temporary domain to set up a WordPress site while your current site is still running. If you are on the same host, then you would want to check if they have a staging site option.
Tutorial clear and efficient, no messing about, straight to the point, love it!
Glad you like our guide!
Do you know if you need to download a PayPal, Stripe, WooCommerce Shipping & Tax plugin in addition to WooCommerce plugin?
You would need the addons for the tools you want to use due to how WooCommerce is structured.
My lady, Respect !!!ππΎππΎ
You’re welcome!
Is WordPress free when you sign up with bluehost
Yes, the WordPress software is free
Hello,
I have a question or problem!
After activating woocommerce, i clicked on it and a window opened with 5 tabs: store details, industry, product types, business details and theme. ( in your Video at 4:05 min)
I have selected several options of products with monthly prices (no free) by mistake and now I can not find them to change.
Could u plz help me!
Thanks

You would want to check the WooCommerce site for any paid plugins to refund the cost. You would want to disable any added plugins under your plugins area.
Thank you for this. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned being intimidated. I do have an ecommerce wordpress site, and it needs to be updated/reworked. I’m also considering moving from a hosted elearning site (teachable) to my own wordpress site. I found a plug in for that!! So excited. One question if I may: I recall setting up wordpress & using wordpress themes. The tutorial led me to believe that after installing wordpress and then woo commerce, I do the theme selection, customization and work in woo commerce, which then governs the entire site (as far as style). Is that correct?
WooCommerce is for setting up how your products are displayed, for the overall design of your site, that would depend on the specific theme you are using on your site.
@WPBeginner – WordPress Tutorials Thank you so much!
