Creating a Woocommerce Shop

Creating a Woocommerce Shop

Download the WooCommerce Plugin

To have a ‘real webshop’ with products, stock registration, sales, coupons, customer registration, and payment gateways, etc. on your website you have to install a plugin called WooCommerce. The WooCommerce plugin can be downloaded directly from http://wordpress.org.
You can download the WooCommerce plugin at Download →

Depending on what you want to do one has to buy one or more plugins. The WooCommerce Plugin by itself is however very well equipped to handle a default webshop.

The WooCommerce Plugin How Does it Work?

WooCommerce has a rich documentation archive about the plugin. Go to WooCommerce Documentation Website→.

Note: We don’t support the working of any plugins within the theme. These plugins have extensive documentation of their own.

Note: For adjusting the layout of the shop or the order of items within a product page one has to follow the WooCommerce documentation and add/remove/adjust the action calls. Problems of any kind with that can be dropped at the WooCommerce support forum.

Note: We support our coding issues, mistakes and if any we fix those within a reasonable time if they are caused by our doing.

Note: WooCommerce has its own support forum where one can get help (paid or non-paid).

The WooCommerce Settings can be found here.

You can find “WooCommerce” on the left-hand side menu in the WordPress theme customizer (or in the theme settings). This theme offers some global options for the WooCommerce Plugins such as “Layout”, “Amount of products per page” etc. You can adjust those settings within the theme options in the customizer.

Q : What is the difference between Product Showcase and WooCommerce Products?

A : They are completely different systems. You can use the default “Product Showcase” to create an organized product catalog. If you would like to
sell your products online via various payment gateway systems, we advise using WooCommerce.

Q : Can I move my existing products from Product Showcase to WooCommerce?

A : No, this is not possible. You need to create new products, categories, etc. by using the WooCommerce Product Post type.

Q : Can I get support on how the WooCommerce plugin works?

A : No, WooCommerce has its own support forum where one can get help (paid or non-paid). We only adjust our coding mistakes, if any and support those.

Note : When The WooCommerce Plugin Updates it is wise to visit the RTTheme Support Forum to see if we approve of the update. WooCommerce sometimes changes many of its code causing blindly installing of an update that your website does not look ok anymore.
