\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Next<\/h2>\n

Adding & Managing New Products<\/h2>\n

The first alteration\u00a0you\u2019ll notice is the addition of two new tabs to your dashboard\u2019s side menu, named\u00a0WooCommerce (Shop)\u00a0<\/strong>(your general settings area) and\u00a0Products\u00a0<\/strong>(your products settings area). To get started setting up your e-store, go to WordPress Admin > Products > Add Product\u00a0<\/i>to add your first product.
\nCreate a title and short description for the product. Here\u2019s what just<\/em> a title & description\u00a0looks like in a live preview.
\n\"\"
\nNEXT<\/strong>
\nThat done, scroll down below the post editor to\u00a0reveal two new widgets on the post\u00a0editing screen: product data and product short description.<\/p>\n

Product Data<\/h3>\n

WordPress Admin > Products > Add New<\/em>
\nIn the product data screen widget, you can select whether or not the product is virtual (the former option removes the\u00a0Shipping\u00a0<\/strong>data tab) and if it is downloadable (digital). You can enter in the regular & sale price (sales can be time-sensitive) in the\u00a0General\u00a0<\/strong>tab.
\n\"\"
\nIf you\u2019re selling digital products, then you also have to upload the file to be purchased, customize the download limit (leave it blank to mark it as unlimited), the download expiry (leave it blank to keep it available permanently), and the file\u00a0type (standard\/application\/music). The file\u00a0type you select\u00a0affects the schema.org markup for the product.
\nNext, in the Inventory\u00a0<\/strong>tab, you can customize options\u00a0to manage your stock by entering in the quantity of the product, stock status (in\/out of stock), and if you\u2019d like to allow backorders. Additionally, you can mark the product as individually sold, meaning only one can be bought in a single order. This is also where you enter the SKU (identification number) if you have one.
\nIn the\u00a0Linked Products\u00a0<\/strong>tab, you can add upsells, cross-sells, and product grouping. Attributes\u00a0<\/b>allows you to enter in specific attributes of the product (e.g. reliable, never breaks down, etc.) that will be displayed under an\u00a0Additional Information\u00a0<\/em>tab in the front end version of the product page. Finally, you can enter custom purchase\u00a0notes, give the product a menu order, and enable\/disable reviews in the\u00a0Advanced\u00a0<\/strong>tab.<\/p>\n

Product Short Description<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Admin Dashboard<\/i>\u00a0 > Products > Add New<\/em>
\nWith the product short description screen widget, you can create a short tagline for the image that will be displayed under the product title.
\nWith the product short description screen widget, you can create a short tagline for the image that will be displayed under the product title.
\n\"\"
\nAfter playing around with all of that, don\u2019t forget to add tags, place it in a category, and include a product image\/gallery.\u00a0Here\u2019s what some sample data\u00a0looks like in a live preview.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Managing Products<\/h3>\n

Dashboard\u00a0> Products > [various tabs]<\/em>
\nIn the other pages under\u00a0WordPress Admin Dashboard \u00a0><\/em> Products<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>you can view your products, categories, tags, shipping classes, attributes, and calendar. Each of these pages look like the standard\u00a0Admin Dashboard\u00a0\u00a0> Posts > Categories\u00a0<\/em>page, except the product view (displayed below).
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Managing WooCommerce (Shop)<\/h2>\n

In the\u00a0WooCommerce\u00a0<\/em>tab, you can explore various things about your digital store: you can view orders, coupons, and reports. You can also customize settings and add new extensions.<\/p>\n

Orders<\/h3>\n

Admin\u00a0Dashboard > WooCommerce > Orders<\/em>
\nThis page\u00a0<\/em>displays a list of your current purchases and orders. If you sell digital products, there\u2019s not much to do here other than see who bought what. But if you sell physical goods, here\u2019s where you can organize what products you need to ship and what orders are being processed or put on hold.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Coupons<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Admin Dashboard > WooCommerce (shop) > Coupons [> Add New]<\/em>
\nWooCommerce has several powerful options for adding new coupons to your e-store. In the coupon editing screen, the coupon data screen widget allows you to customize the coupon discount and restrictions.
\n\"\"
\nThe\u00a0General\u00a0<\/strong>tab allows you to edit the\u00a0basic coupon information: the type\u00a0of coupon (cart discount, cart percentage discount, product discount, and product percentage discount), its\u00a0value, free shipping options, coupon taxation, and its expiry date.
\nIn\u00a0Usage Restrictions\u00a0<\/strong>you can set a minimum spend the customer has to make to validate the coupon. To restrict the use from use in conjunction with other coupons, check the box for\u00a0Individual use only<\/em>. If the coupon shouldn\u2019t apply to items that are on sale, there\u2019s an option for that, too. Here\u2019s also where you select the products and product categories the coupon is applicable to. Lastly, you can even ban certain email addresses from coupon usage.
\nThe final tab,\u00a0Usage Limits<\/strong>, sets the usage limit per coupon or per customer.
\nThe coupon management screen is below.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Reports<\/h3>\n

Dashboard Admin > WooCommerce (Shop)> Reports<\/em>
\nWooCommerce also offers powerful built-in tracking. You can view charts and graphs of your sales, orders, and shipping costs over five different time periods. Each graph can be limited to the sales of a particular product, product category, or coupon. In the Customers\u00a0<\/strong>tab, you can view your customer acquisition over the same five time periods. Lastly, you can also view your low in stock, out of stock, and most stocked products in the\u00a0Stocks <\/strong>tab. All this data can be exported in a CSV sheet.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Settings<\/h3>\n

Dashboard\u00a0Admin > WooCommerce (Shop)> Settings<\/em>
\nHere\u2019s where WooCommerce gets really impressive: in the Settings screen, you can customize pretty much\u00a0every single aspect\u00a0<\/em>of your e-store. Everything from your thousands separator to the check out process to email options can be tailored to your satisfaction.
\nThe\u00a0General\u00a0<\/strong>tab takes care of your basic information, including your currency, base & selling locations, and display options.
\n\"\"
\nTaxation methods are modeled in the\u00a0Taxes\u00a0<\/strong>tab \u2014 if you wish, you can even disable taxation in your store.
\n\"\"
\nShipping\u00a0<\/strong>takes care of your shipping methods and pricing models. You can also enable\/disable shipping store-wide, and edit various\u00a0display options. Restricting your store availability only to specific countries is also possible.
\n\"\"
\nCheckout\u00a0<\/strong>allows you to customize the checkout process: you can choose from five payment gateways, edit the pages, add a T&C page, and change URL appendages.
\n\"\"
\nAccount\u00a0<\/strong>edits all front end account display and registration options.
\n\"\"
\nIn the\u00a0Emails\u00a0<\/strong>tab, you can customize all things customer support. Specifically, you can tailor all\u00a0the sender options for WooCommerce-generated email, right down the email background color. if you have this\u00a0option .
\n\"\"
\nAnd lastly in the API<\/strong> tab you can enable the REST API, Keys\/Apps, and Webhooks.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

System Status<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Admin Dashboard\u00a0> WooCommerce > System Status<\/em>
\nAll your back end information \u2014 your WooCommerce\/PHP\/MySQL\/etc. version, size limits, logging, and more \u2014 is found here. In the\u00a0Tools\u00a0<\/strong>tab on the same page , you can clear your website caches for multiple variables, install new options, and reset settings to the default.
