WooCommerce dropshipping is an online selling model where you use a WooCommerce store to sell products without keeping inventory. You list products from suppliers on your website and market them to customers. When a customer places an order, you forward the order details to the supplier or use a dropshipping app to automate it. The supplier then packs and ships the product directly to the customer. You earn profit from the difference between your selling price and the supplier’s cost, minus fees. Your main focus becomes product selection, pricing, customer support, and marketing, while the supplier handles storage and delivery.

WooPayments is pay-as-you-go, with no setup or monthly fees. WooCommerce In the U.S., online card payments are 2.90% + $0.30; add +1.50% for international cards and +1.00% for currency conversion. Disputes are $15. In-person is 2.70% + $0.10, plus $5 per active device/month. Instant payouts (optional) are 1.5%.

A WooCommerce membership can cost $0 to thousands, depending on what you mean. If you mean the plugin cost, WooCommerce Memberships is a paid extension, and the price depends on the license plan and renewal. If you mean the membership you sell to customers, you set the price yourself, like ₹499/month, $29/month, or $199/year. Your total cost may also include hosting, a theme, and payment gateway fees (Stripe/PayPal). For recurring billing, you may also need a subscriptions plugin.

WooCommerce does not charge a monthly subscription fee. The core WooCommerce plugin is free. Your monthly cost usually comes from hosting, a domain, and any premium plugins or themes you choose. Some extensions have yearly plans, and payment gateways may charge transaction fees per sale. You might also pay for backups, security, email tools, or maintenance services. So the monthly cost can be low for a basic store, but it increases based on features, traffic, and support needs.

To display shipping costs on the product page in WooCommerce, you can use a plugin or custom code.

Using a Plugin: Install a plugin like WooCommerce Shipping Calculator on Product Page or WooCommerce Shipping Method on Product Page. These plugins allow you to show estimated shipping costs based on the customer’s location.

Using Custom Code: You can add custom code to your theme’s functions.php file to fetch and display shipping costs. This involves using WooCommerce hooks and the shipping methods API to calculate costs dynamically and display them on the product page.

Always test on a staging site before applying changes live.

To turn off stock management in WooCommerce, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory and uncheck “Manage stock”. This disables global inventory tracking. If you want to disable it for specific products only, edit the product, go to the Inventory tab under Product Data, and uncheck “Manage stock?”. This means WooCommerce will no longer track stock levels or display “in stock”/“out of stock” notices. It’s useful for stores selling digital goods or services where inventory isn’t applicable. However, turning it off removes automated control over product availability.
