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.

Yes, you can transfer a GoDaddy website to WordPress, but the method depends on how the site was built. If the GoDaddy site already uses WordPress, you can move it with GoDaddy’s auto migration tool, a plugin-based migration, or a manual transfer using files and the database. GoDaddy also documents manual migration and plugin migration options for WordPress sites. If the site was built with a non-WordPress website builder, you usually cannot transfer it directly as a full WordPress site and may need to rebuild the design while moving the content. So yes, transfer is possible, but the process varies.

For most users, the best way is managed WordPress hosting or the host’s installer because it’s fast, secure, and updated. If you want full control, install manually so you control folders, database names, and security settings. Either way, use SSL, strong admin credentials, updated PHP, and keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated.

Shopify can be “safer by default” because Shopify manages the infrastructure and states it’s Level 1 PCI DSS compliant across Shopify stores. WooCommerce can be very secure too, but security depends more on your hosting, setup, and how well you maintain WordPress, WooCommerce, themes, and plugins. In practice, Shopify reduces your security workload; WooCommerce gives control but requires ongoing maintenance.
