To function, WooCommerce requires the creation of a few pages, as well as other information required to run a store. This is done using the WooCommerce Setup Wizard.

WooCommerce Setup Wizard

After activating the WooCommerce plugin, you will be redirected to the Setup Wizard. This guide walks you through the essential settings:

1. Store Details — Enter your store address, currency, and the types of products you plan to sell.
2. Industry — Select your store’s industry to help WooCommerce tailor the setup.
3. Product Types — Choose what types of products you sell (physical, digital, or subscriptions).
4. Business Details — Provide information about your business size and current setup.
5. Theme — Your WPlook theme is already active, so you can skip this step.
6. Payment — Set up payment gateways like Stripe or PayPal.
7. Shipping — Configure shipping zones, methods, and rates.
8. Tax — Enable automated tax calculations or configure manual rates.

Required Pages

WooCommerce automatically creates these pages during setup:

• Shop — Displays all your products.
• Cart — Shows items the customer has added to their cart.
• Checkout — The payment and order completion page.
• My Account — Customer account management (orders, addresses, downloads).

You can verify these pages are correctly assigned in WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Page Setup.

WooCommerce Settings

After completing the wizard, fine-tune your store in WooCommerce → Settings. Key sections include:

• General — Store address, currency, selling locations.
• Products — Shop page, measurements, reviews, inventory.
• Shipping — Shipping zones, methods, and classes.
• Payments — Enable and configure payment gateways.
• Accounts & Privacy — Guest checkout, account creation, privacy policy.
• Emails — Order confirmation, shipping, and customer notification templates.
