A common example is a T-shirt sold in different sizes and colors. You create one product called “Classic T-Shirt.” Then you add attributes like Size (S, M, L, XL) and Color (Black, White, Blue). WooCommerce generates variations like “M / Black” or “XL / White.” Each variation can have its own price and stock, like XL costing more and having fewer units. The product page shows dropdowns for size and color, and the buyer selects their preferred option before adding to cart. This is exactly how variable products are used.

Self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) is free to download and use, but it is not fully free to run online. You still need paid hosting to store your site files and database. You also need a domain name, which usually costs yearly. Some hosts offer very cheap plans, but “free hosting” often has ads, slow speed, limited storage, and weak security. Many free hosts also block plugins or limit WordPress features. If you only want to test WordPress, you can install it locally on your computer for free. For a real public website, paid hosting is required.

For most WordPress sites, Stripe is the best all-round payment gateway. It integrates smoothly with WooCommerce, supports cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, subscriptions, and strong fraud tools. Setup is fast, checkout feels modern, and payouts are reliable in many countries. If you want instant trust and wide coverage, add PayPal as a second option. For in-person plus online selling, Square is great. In India, Razorpay is often easier for UPI and local cards. Choose based on your country, fees, subscription needs, and refund/chargeback handling. Also ensure PCI compliance, saved cards, webhooks, and good support for your currency and taxes too.
