Getting started on a new platform can be a bit overwhelming. You’re not sure how to navigate the buttons and menus, and it would be nice if someone could guide you through the process (without all the fluff or endless YouTube ads). Inside my course, Settin’ Up Shop with WooCommerce, I answer the top WooCommerce questions and guide business owners through opening and launching their online store! I’ve set up countless shops, and now I want to help you DIY your shop from scratch.

WooCommerce Questions (And Answers from an Expert)

Sure, there are videos and blogs out there on getting started with WooCommerce. But a lot of them scratch the surface, or don’t give you the step-by-step instructions you need to do it on your own. In this blog, I’m sharing some of the common WooCommerce questions I get asked, and how I can help you navigate your new WooCommerce store inside Settin’ Up Shop. 🫶🏻

#1 What do I Need to Get Started with WooCommerce?

Before you jump into setting up your shop, there are a few things you need to know about WooCommerce. First of all, you’ll need to make sure that your existing WordPress theme is compatible with WooCommerce. A lot of them are, but occasionally, I come across one that isn’t. You’ll also want to do some research, such as what payout platform you want to use (like Stripe) and if sales tax collection is required in your state. Inside, Settin’ Up Shop, I’ll walk you through all of this prework, so you can jump into the course prepared and ready to work.

#2 How Long Does it Take to Upload My Products?

I know, you’re eager to start making sales. 😉 So, how long does it take to design your shop and upload your products? Honestly, it depends. If you’re trying to piecemeal information together from YouTube, it could take months. With Settin’ Up Shop, you could have a shop ready to go in a week or two if you commit the time.

Inside the course, I’ll show you the easiest way to upload your products in bulk, design your shop, test your checkout, and more – so you don’t waste time dealing with tech or handling issues. When your shop is complete, you’re ready to start selling!

#3 How Do I Collect Sales Tax?

A lot of people panic when they realize they’ll need to collect sales tax. 😅 But honestly, it doesn’t have to be a big deal. WooCommerce has several plugins that allow you to easily calculate sales tax at checkout, and some of them will even file the sales tax for you. Inside Settin’ Up Shop, I’ll show you how to configure these sales tax plugins, in case you need them.

#4 How Can I Keep My Products and Store Safe?

Worried about hackers or security issues? Want to protect yourself from resellers and unexpected returns? It all comes down to how you set up your shop. With security plugins, you can keep your site protected around the clock, without draining your energy. By establishing refund policies and terms and conditions, you can add clarity around purchases and legally protect yourself in the event that something does happen. Inside Settin’ Up Shop, I’ll help you create and set up legal pages for your shop + install security plugins to keep your site safe.

#5 What’s the Best Way to Get Products Found Online?

Having a site shop does take effort. You’ll need to promote and market your products via email, Instagram, and whatever other platforms you show up on. But you can also boost traffic by getting your products to show up in search results. In Settin’ Up Shop, I have a bonus SEO guide for those who pay in full. Inside this step-by-step guide, I cover 11 specific ways to boost your SEO, from titles to descriptions to keywords!
