To set up sales tax or GST in WooCommerce, go to WooCommerce → Settings → General and enable “Enable tax rates and calculations.” Save changes. Then open WooCommerce → Settings → Tax. Choose whether prices are entered with or without tax and set how tax shows in the cart and checkout. Next, click Standard rates (or create a GST tax class) and add your tax rules. Enter Country, State, Postcode, City, Rate %, Tax name (GST/VAT), Priority, Compound, and Shipping tax option if required. Save. Finally, place a test order to confirm correct tax calculation.

If you mean an alternative to selling through Facebook for WooCommerce, the best options are other sales channels and ad platforms. For social selling, try Instagram Shopping, TikTok Shop, Pinterest Shopping, and Google Merchant Center for free listings. For marketplaces, use Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, or Flipkart, depending on your niche. For advertising, Google Search and Shopping ads often convert well for buyer intent, and YouTube can drive demand. For direct communication, build email marketing with Klaviyo or Mailchimp, plus WhatsApp Business for follow-ups. Also invest in SEO and content so you own long-term traffic.

If your WooCommerce shopping cart is not working, it could be due to various issues. Plugin conflicts are common, especially if you’ve recently added or updated a plugin. Outdated WooCommerce or WordPress versions may also cause compatibility issues. A misconfigured caching plugin can prevent cart updates, while a conflict with the theme can also affect cart functionality. Insufficient server resources, such as low PHP memory limits, could impact the cart’s performance. To resolve this, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, switch to a default theme, clear cache, and ensure your WordPress and WooCommerce versions are up to date.

To create a WooCommerce shop page, first install and activate WooCommerce. During setup, WooCommerce usually creates core pages automatically, including Shop. If it didn’t, go to WooCommerce > Status > Tools and click “Create default WooCommerce pages.” You can also create it manually: go to Pages > Add New, name it “Shop,” publish it, then set it as the shop page in WooCommerce > Settings > Products. WooCommerce will automatically display products on that page. Next, add the Shop page to your main menu under Appearance > Menus. Finally, customize the layout using your theme options, Site Editor templates, or a page builder, and test filters, sorting, and pagination.

WordPress is the platform used to build and manage a website, like pages, blog posts, and design. WooCommerce is a plugin you install on WordPress to add online store features. WordPress handles content and site management. WooCommerce adds products, cart, checkout, payments, shipping, taxes, and order management. In short, WordPress builds the website, and WooCommerce turns it into an eCommerce store.
