Go to WooCommerce → Settings → General, confirm your store address and currency. Scroll to “Enable taxes” and tick it, then Save changes. A new Tax tab appears. Open WooCommerce → Settings → Tax and choose whether prices include tax, how to display tax in cart/checkout, and whether shipping is taxable. Next, add tax rates: pick Standard (or create additional tax classes), click “Insert row,” then enter country/state, postcode, city, rate %, tax name, and priority. Save. Finally, place a test order to verify the correct tax shows for each location. If you sell globally, create separate rows per region.

Paying customers in WooCommerce usually means issuing refunds, store credit, or payouts for programs like affiliates or multi-vendor commissions. For refunds, go to WooCommerce → Orders, open the order, click Refund, enter amount/quantity, and choose Refund via gateway (if supported) or Manual refund. For store credit, use a gift card/credit plugin to add a credit balance customers can spend later. If you’re paying customers as affiliates/vendors, use plugins (AffiliateWP, WooCommerce Product Vendors/Dokan/WC Vendors) that calculate earnings and pay via PayPal/Stripe payouts or manual bank transfers.

Yes, WordPress itself is free and open-source, making it possible to use it as a headless CMS without any licensing cost. You can install WordPress on your server and manage content just like a regular site. However, setting up a headless architecture may involve additional expenses. You might need hosting that supports APIs, premium themes or plugins, and a separate frontend built with frameworks like React, Vue, or Next.js. While the WordPress backend remains free, development, customization, and hosting costs can add up. Overall, the CMS is free, but implementing a fully functional headless setup may require investment.

WooCommerce handles payments through payment gateways you enable in WooCommerce → Settings → Payments. Each gateway connects your store to a payment processor or bank, so customers can pay by card, wallet, bank transfer, or cash on delivery. During checkout, WooCommerce sends the order total and customer details to the gateway for approval. If the payment succeeds, WooCommerce updates the order status and triggers emails. You can also manage refunds, payment notes, and transaction details from the order screen, depending on the gateway you use.
