About this book

Teaches you all about e-commerce and how to create your own online shop using WordPress and WooCommerce. Regardless of a business’s size, e-commerce helps level the playing field, increases a business’s exposure, allows companies to reach customers globally, and streamlines the fulfillment process. In the past, e-commerce websites were expensive, technically difficult, and time-consuming to create but not anymore.

WordPress and WooCommerce together are a complete e-commerce solution that can be used to sell both physical and digital products online. You'll learn how to install WordPress and how to plan your e-commerce solution with WooCommerce as well as install, create, secure, test, and market a sample online store.  

Save time and money by planning your own e-commerce strategy without paying expensive consultants. Increase your brand and products’ or services’ exposure to your target customers, and increase sales by offering target customers the ability to purchase products online as well as reach potential customers globally. 

What You'll Learn

  • Plan an effective ecommerce strategy

  • Choose a payment merchant and which products or services to sell online 

  • Secure your store and add products, descriptions, categories, images, and prices

  • Maintain and expand your online store with WooCommerce extensions

Who This Book Is For
Ideal for entrepreneurs and small business owners who know their products (physical or digital), but lack the technical background and skills to setup an online store to sell their products and services.  

Reviews

“The book appears to be of great value for someone committed to using WordPress … . It presents a lot of information in an encouraging, reassuring tone. The recommendations seem clear and accessible and assume the reader is familiar with nothing more mysterious than file transfer protocol (FTP) or MySQL.” (B. Hazeltine, Computing Reviews, June 27, 2019)
