Woocommerce

To change shipping charges, open WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping Zones. Select a zone and edit the shipping method, such as Flat Rate or Local Pickup. Update the shipping cost, add conditions, or apply class-based charges. Save changes after editing. WooCommerce lets you control shipping prices by location, product type, or order value for better flexibility.

To remove shipping charges in WooCommerce, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping. You can disable shipping completely by unchecking Enable shipping in shipping options. If you want free shipping, create a Free Shipping method in a shipping zone and remove other methods. You can also set shipping cost to zero. This is useful for digital products or stores offering free delivery.

To customize checkout without plugins, use custom PHP and CSS in your WordPress theme or child theme. WooCommerce provides hooks and filters to modify fields, remove sections, or change labels. You can edit styles using custom CSS and override template files if needed. This method gives full control but requires coding knowledge. Always back up your site before making manual changes.

You can customize the WooCommerce checkout page using plugins, page builders, or custom code. Checkout editor plugins let you add, remove, or rearrange fields easily. Page builders help redesign layout sections visually. You can also customize labels, placeholders, and styles using CSS. For advanced changes, developers use hooks and filters. Always test changes to ensure checkout flow, payments, and validation work correctly before going live.

There’s no single “best” theme, but popular choices for WooCommerce stores include Storefront (official WooCommerce theme), Astra, OceanWP, and Flatsome. These are optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and easy customization. They offer WooCommerce integration, product layout options, and page builders support like Elementor. The best theme depends on your store style, speed needs, and design preferences.

To install and activate WooCommerce, log in to the WordPress dashboard. Navigate to Plugins → Add New, search for “WooCommerce,” and click Install Now. Once installed, click Activate. After activation, the WooCommerce setup wizard launches automatically. It helps you configure store location, currency, payment methods, shipping options, and basic settings so your online store is ready to use.

Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. Go to Plugins → Add New and search for “WooCommerce.” Click Install Now next to the official WooCommerce plugin. After installation completes, click Activate. WooCommerce will then start a guided setup wizard to help configure your store settings. This is the quickest and safest way to install WooCommerce on WordPress.

To create a WooCommerce website, first install WordPress on your hosting. Choose a WooCommerce-compatible theme. Install and activate the WooCommerce plugin, then follow the setup wizard to configure store details, currency, payments, and shipping. Add products, set prices, and configure taxes. Test checkout and payment flow before going live. WooCommerce turns a standard WordPress site into a fully functional online store.

To fix a WooCommerce plugin error, first note the exact error message. Update WordPress, WooCommerce, and the plugin, then clear any cache. If the issue started after an update, roll back the plugin version. Disable all plugins except WooCommerce to check for conflicts, then re-enable one by one. Switch to a default theme (Storefront) to test theme conflicts. Check WooCommerce → Status → Logs and enable WordPress debug log to see the real cause. If needed, increase PHP memory and contact the plugin developer with the error log.

To set up subscriptions in WooCommerce, install a subscriptions plugin (commonly WooCommerce Subscriptions) and activate it. Next, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments and enable a gateway that supports recurring payments (like Stripe or WooPayments). Then create a new product and choose Simple subscription or Variable subscription. Set the price, billing interval (monthly/yearly), and optional sign-up fee or free trial. Publish the product, place a test order in sandbox/test mode, and confirm renewal orders generate correctly.
