How easy is WooCommerce to use?

In some ways, WooCommerce is as easy to use as Shopify. But there’s a catch. The catch is this: While working with WooCommerce on a day-to-day basis is as easy as Shopify, setting up a store isn’t quite as simple. Basically, since WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin and not a subscription-based solution like Shopify, that means you need to do a few things before you can even start working with WooCommerce itself. Basically, you need to do the following:

Get a domain name
Register a hosting account
Install WordPress
Find and install a WordPress theme
Only after you have taken care of these france number data four aspects, you can install the WooCommerce plugin on your WordPress site and start setting up your online store.

Unfortunately, these steps require a certain level of comfort with the web. After all, it involves setting up a web server, forwarding your domain to that server , and finally getting WordPress installed and running properly. To make things a little easier on yourself, you can choose a dedicated WordPress hosting company that will take care of the domain and WordPress installation for you, leaving you with just the WooCommerce part. In any case, all of this is considerably more complex than Shopify’s one-click “sign up” button. Then there’s the design. WooCommerce doesn’t come with any actual “design.” It’s all done with the WordPress theme of your choice. Luckily, WooCommerce works with almost every theme on the market, but you still have to find one you like and install it on your site. Now, onto WooCommerce itself.

As I said, the platform itself is as easy to use as Shopify. Once you install and activate the WooCommerce plugin, you will see a setup wizard on the screen. It consists of five steps and will walk you through all the important elements. Basically, it allows you to choose the basic store settings and set everything up neatly. For example, some of the important steps include things like currency setup, shipping and taxes, and payment gateways. Once the setup is complete, you can start using your store and start adding products.
