Lesson 3: Setting Up An Online Store
Adding a Woocommerce Store
WooCommerce is a customizable, open-source eCommerce platform built on WordPress. WooCommerce has become the most popular eCommerce software in the world because it’s relatively easy to use, is open-source and comes with powerful features.
Unlike Shopify, Woocommerce itself is a free tool. Any associated costs are going to come from the service extensions you purchase for added functionality and automation. Most small stores can get away with avoiding paid services.
Follow along the videos below to set up your store.
