To add products to a WooCommerce page, first ensure that you have created the product(s). Next, edit the page you want to add the products to. Use the WooCommerce block editor or shortcodes to display products. For example, you can use the [products] shortcode to display a grid of products or the [product id="product_id"] shortcode for a single product. You can also manually select products from the product blocks or widgets within the page builder interface.

Go to WordPress Dashboard → Plugins → Add New. Search “WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway”, then Install and Activate. Next, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Stripe → Manage. Enter your Stripe Publishable Key and Secret Key (or connect your Stripe account if available). Enable test mode to test, then save and run a test checkout.

The basic formula for calculating shipping costs is:
Shipping Cost = (Weight or Volume) × (Distance or Shipping Zone Rate) + (Additional Fees or Packaging Costs)
This formula factors in the weight/size of the package, delivery location, shipping method, and any extra handling fees. For businesses, shipping plugins or carrier rate calculators often automate this process.

To enable catalog mode in WooCommerce, you need to disable buying features while keeping product browsing active. The easiest way is using a catalog mode plugin. Install a plugin like “WooCommerce Catalog Mode” or a “Hide Price/Add to Cart” plugin. After activation, open its settings and choose what to hide: Add to Cart button, price, checkout, or cart pages. You can apply changes store-wide or only for guest users. Some plugins also replace Add to Cart with “Request a Quote” or “Contact Us” buttons. Clear cache, test product pages, and confirm checkout is blocked.

To create a product category in WooCommerce, go to your WordPress dashboard → Products → Categories. Add a name, slug (URL), description, and optional image, then click Add New Category. To assign products to this category, edit a product and select the category from the right-hand panel. The Shop page is usually created automatically during WooCommerce setup and displays all products. You can customize it under Appearance → Menus or Customize → WooCommerce → Product Catalog. From there, control what appears on the shop page—like categories, products, or sorting. Page builders can further customize layout and design.

Catalog mode in WooCommerce is a setup where your store works like a product showcase instead of a shopping store. Customers can view products, categories, images, and descriptions, but they cannot add items to cart or complete checkout. Many store owners use catalog mode for wholesale inquiries, out-of-stock periods, B2B pricing requests, or pre-launch product displays. In catalog mode, you can hide prices, disable the cart and checkout pages, and replace Add to Cart with custom buttons like “Call Now,” “Get Quote,” or “Contact Us.” It helps you generate leads while still showing products professionally.
