If you're starting from scratch, I will walk you through obtaining your own domain name and web hosting. From there, we will seamlessly install WordPress and WooCommerce, enabling you to start selling products on your website in no time.

Throughout this tutorial, we will cover six different product types, including:

01. Simple products with a single option.
02. Variable products, allowing visitors to choose from multiple options such as size and color.
03. Virtual products, like coaching calls or services.
04. Digital downloadable products, such as eBooks, images, videos, or any other digital files.
05. Affiliate products, enabling you to direct visitors to external products or services using your affiliate link and earn commissions upon purchase.
06. Grouped products, where you can sell multiple products on a single product page.

We will delve into important aspects such as product titles, pricing, discounts, scheduled discounts, categories, subcategories, tags, featured images, and galleries, ensuring your webshop is well-structured and visually appealing.

Additionally, we will customize your shop page according to your preferences and incorporate sidebar widgets such as a search widget, price filter widget, category widget, featured product widget, and cart widget, enhancing user experience and navigation.

To maximize sales on your WooCommerce website, we will explore the implementation of coupons. These coupons can offer discounts in dollars or percentages, provide free shipping, or be tailored to specific products. Furthermore, we will address limitations, such as setting a minimum spending requirement of $35 for a coupon code to be valid or restricting the number of times a coupon can be used.

Automation will play a key role in streamlining your shipping process. We will configure shipping methods based on cart weight or total price, as well as customize shipping options based on the customer's location. Additionally, we will employ strategies to incentivize visitors to spend more by offering free shipping upon reaching a certain purchase threshold.

You will gain comprehensive knowledge on applying taxes to your webshop. I will guide you through manual tax setup, including different rates for various countries, states and reduced rates. Furthermore, we will explore the option of allowing WooCommerce to automatically calculate taxes for you.

Adding various payment methods to your WooCommerce website is crucial for facilitating customer transactions. We will cover integrating credit card payments, PayPal, Klarna, and other popular payment providers, ensuring a smooth and secure checkout process.

Order management will be another key focus. You will learn how to efficiently handle incoming orders and customize the content, appearance, and tone of the confirmation emails sent to customers, creating a professional and engaging post-purchase experience.
