Though it\u2019s optional, it is recommended to go through for configuring some key settings.<\/p>\n<p>The first page of the WooCommerce setup wizard should look as below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-setup-page-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-setup-page-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-setup-page-min-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-setup-page-min-768x618.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, WooCommerce will prompt you to enter some basic information about your store. This will include its address, the currency you\u2019d like to use, and if you are planning to sell digital or physical products (or both).<\/p>\n<p>Remember that whatever you set here (or throughout the rest of the setup wizard) can be changed later on in your WooCommerce settings if required. Now, select <strong>Let\u2019s Go<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Choose Your Payment Processors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the next page, decide what payments you want to enable for your online store. By default, use Stripe and\/or PayPal, along with offline payments such as checks and cash:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Payment-page-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Payment-page-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Payment-page-min-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Payment-page-min-768x625.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then just select the options that you would like to use, and WooCommerce will set them up. Extensions also can be used to add more payment processors to your store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Configure Your Shipping Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next, the <strong>Shipping<\/strong> screen will get displayed:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Shipping-page-1-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Shipping-page-1-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Shipping-page-1-min-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Shipping-page-1-min-768x550.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here, you can decide the number of customers that will be charged for shipping.

The first is the <strong>Product data<\/strong> section:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-data-section-1-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-data-section-1-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-data-section-1-min-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-data-section-1-min-768x329.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this section, you can add all the details about your product. At the very top, you can select whether or not the product is virtual (which removes the <strong>Shipping<\/strong> tab) and whether it is downloadable. Then, in the <strong>General<\/strong> tab, you can mention the regular and sale prices (sales can be time-sensitive).<\/p>\n<p>In case you\u2019re selling digital products, upload the file to be purchased, modify the download limit (leave it blank to mark it as unlimited), and set the download expiry (leave it blank to keep it available permanently):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Product-data-section-2-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Product-data-section-2-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Product-data-section-2-min-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Product-data-section-2-min-768x344.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Inventory<\/strong> tab, it is possible to manage your stock by entering in the quantity of the product, stock status (in\/out of stock), and if you want to allow backorders:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Inventory-tab-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Inventory-tab-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Inventory-tab-min-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Inventory-tab-min-768x329.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the product can be marked as individually sold. It means only one can be purchased in a single order.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you can also enter the product\u2019s SKU (identification number) if you have one.<\/p>\n<p>You will also find some more number of other useful tabs too. The <strong>Shipping<\/strong> section will help you to enter the item\u2019s weight, dimensions, and shipping class. In the <strong>Linked Products<\/strong> tab, you can add upsells and cross-sells, while in <strong>Attributes<\/strong> you can describe the product\u2019s characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, comes the <strong>Advanced<\/strong> tab, where you can enter custom purchase notes, enable or disable reviews, and give the product a set position in your menu. Additionally, you can also view recommended extensions under the <strong>Get more options<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn to Create Attributes and Variable Products<\/h3>\n<p>You will find plenty of options to add details to your WooCommerce products and customize them fully. Have a close look at two of the most useful options in the <strong>Product data<\/strong> section \u2013 attributes and variable products.<\/p>\n<p>Attributes are key descriptors for your product, and with them potential customers get important information about it. This can include the material it\u2019s made out of, item\u2019s color, its size or type, and so on. If these details are added to your product in the <strong>Attributes<\/strong> tab, they will get displayed on the product page:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-attributes-edited-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-attributes-edited-min.png 903w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-attributes-edited-min-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-attributes-edited-min-768x515.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>May it be any type of products you sell, attributes help in communicating vital characteristics in a precise manner.<\/p>\n<p>However, it will matter when items that come in multiple options need to be sold? For them, select the <strong>Variable product<\/strong> option:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Variations-tab-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Variations-tab-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Variations-tab-min-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-Variations-tab-min-768x263.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With this you can get access to a new <strong>Variations<\/strong> tab, where multiple versions of your product using the attributes you already assigned can be created. For example, if you offer a shirt in red, green, and purple, a variation for each color can be added, with giving a unique description for each along with price, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This will help your customers to see all available variations on the product page:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-variations-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-variations-min.png 900w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-variations-min-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WooCommerce-product-variations-min-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With this it becomes easy for visitors to see everything you offer at a glance.
