Frequency Asked Questions:

What is the difference between the main category and a subcategory?

Subcategories are completely optional and are often used when you have a lot of different product types in the main category. For example, if you are selling men's clothes then the main category should be "Mens" and the subcategories should be "Mens Shoes", "Mens Jeans", Mens" Jumpers" and "Mens Accessories".

It would make more sense to add your products to the subcategories if you are using them in your WooCommerce store.

Is there a limit to the number of categories I can add to WooCommerce?

In theory, there should be no limit to the number of categories or subcategories you can add to your WooCommece store, but it is worth planning out your category structure before you start adding them to your website. You can do this in an excel spreadsheet to a word document.

What is a WooCommerce plugin?

WooCommerce is a plugin that you can download for free and install on a WordPress website. The plugin gives you a full turnkey e-commerce solution. You can simply add products, categories and general pages. Once completed you can add a payment gateway like PayPal or Stripe to accept payments. You can even set up discount codes and specific cost for the delivery of products based on a customer's location.

What is a WooCommerce Theme?

A WooCommerce Theme often adds some additional functionality to a WooCommerce shop which is not available in a standard WooCommerce Theme. The functionality can improve the speed of your website, add features like zooming in to products images, customised the layout of pages, categories listings and product content pages. The goal of a theme is to give a user a more simple way to customise a WooCommerce Shop.

What is the best WooCommere Theme?

This really depends on the types of ecommerce shop you are creating. At DCP Web Designers we often use Flatsome Theme as we find this theme to be highly customisable.
