There are several ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-install-wordpress\/\">install WordPress<\/a>. Which method you use will largely depend on your web host and what kind of plan you&#8217;re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\ude90 Those methods are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Installing WordPress manually<\/strong>. This method involves downloading the WordPress core files, uploading them to your server, and running an installer. It&#8217;s only necessary if your web host doesn&#8217;t offer automatic installation options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using a software manager to install WordPress<\/strong>. If your web host offers a control panel <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-cpanel\/\">such as cPanel<\/a>, you&#8217;ll have the option to install WordPress using a software manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using a web host that installs WordPress for you<\/strong>. Some web hosts will automatically install WordPress for you. This is particularly common among <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-managed-wordpress-hosting\/\">managed web hosts<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest approach, in most cases, is to use web hosting that sets up WordPress for you. In any case, installing the WordPress content management system (CMS) isn&#8217;t complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-select-an-ecommerce-plugin\">Step 2: Select an ecommerce plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\"  id=\"wp-pic-woocommerce\"data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"woocommerce\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"\"  data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\" ><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper--><link rel='stylesheet' id='dashicons-css' href='https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/css\/dashicons.min.css?ver=6.8.5' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<link rel='stylesheet' id='wppic-style-css' href='https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/dist\/wppic-styles.css?ver=6.1.1' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1\" id=\"jquery-core-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1\" id=\"jquery-migrate-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"wppic-script-js-extra\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\nvar wppicAjax = {\"ajaxurl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themeisle.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-admin\\\/admin-ajax.php\"};\n\/* ]]> *\/\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/assets\/js\/wppic-script.min.js?ver=6.1.1\" id=\"wppic-script-js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of ecommerce plugins you can choose from when thinking of how to build an ecommerce website with WordPress. However, the default option for most users is WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With WooCommerce, you can sell digital and physical products. The plugin supports multiple payment and shipping methods. It&#8217;s easily customizable and highly extendable, thanks to the hundreds of available add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce is free. The base plugin includes all the features you need to run a successful online store. Several WooCommerce extensions require payment, but they tend to focus on advanced features most stores might not need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce also has the added benefit of a massive community. The plugin is so popular, you&#8217;ll have an easy time finding tutorials for anything you need to do, from <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/woocommerce-product-page\/\">optimizing product pages<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/woocommerce-app-builder\/\">creating an app<\/a> for your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re ready to proceed, go ahead and install and activate WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Note<\/strong>: Check out our list of <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-woocommerce-plugins\/\">recommended WooCommerce add-ons<\/a> for expanding your online store in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you find WooCommerce isn&#8217;t your style, check out some of the many other <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/free-ecommerce-plugins-for-wordpress\/\">WordPress ecommerce plugins available for unique selling situations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-configure-payment-methods\">Step 3: Configure payment methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you skip the WooCommerce setup wizard, you can configure the plugin by going to the <strong><em>WooCommerce<\/em><\/strong> <em>&gt; <strong>Settings<\/strong> <\/em>page. To get started, jump to the <strong><em>Payments<\/em><\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em><strong>Payments<\/strong><\/em> tab includes the payment methods you can use.

So, if you&#8217;re wondering how to build an ecommerce website with WordPress, you need to figure out how much to charge for shipping and which methods to offer depending on the user&#8217;s location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 WooCommerce offers several features that help you deal with shipping. Namely, the plugin lets you choose from two types of shipping rates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flat rate<\/strong>. With this option, you charge users a flat rate for shipping. This rate can vary depending on their shipping &#8220;zone.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free shipping<\/strong>. WooCommerce enables you to offer free shipping for specific situations or products. For example, you can set up coupons that offer free shipping.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also a local pickup option you can enable if you have a mostly local clientele. With this option, you can save on shipping costs and give customers the choice to pick up their purchase when they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce gives you the option to set up shipping zones. These are regions or locations for which specific shipping rules and rates apply.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

Customers that are outside the city area will fall under another &#8220;zone&#8221; and have to pay a different fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a full guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/woocommerce-shipping\/\">how to set up WooCommerce shipping zones<\/a>. Look at it for instructions, and go ahead and set up the initial shipping zones for your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more advanced control over WooCommerce shipping (like label printing and real-time rates from USPS and other providers), consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/woocommerce-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WooCommerce Shipping plugin<\/a> along with specific carrier plugins for <a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/products\/usps-shipping-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USPS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/products\/ups-shipping-method\/?quid=5525b8b3d2366cc898d146acdde63ee5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UPS<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/products\/fedex-shipping-module\/?quid=5525b8b3d2366cc898d146acdde63ee5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FedEx<\/a>.

Before you sell products online, you need to stop and consider taxes. Which taxes you&#8217;re subject to will depend on where you&#8217;re located and what products you&#8217;re selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure what you should charge in terms of taxes, we recommend you check it out right now. Consult a local accountant if you can&#8217;t find the information online, but don&#8217;t start selling without taking taxes into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable tax calculations in WooCommerce, go to <em><strong>WooCommerce<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>Settings<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>General<\/strong><\/em>.

This goes double for ecommerce sites since you need to consider additional sets of features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever theme you choose needs to be compatible with WooCommerce. That means it should include product and shop pages, as well as other elements you&#8217;d see on an ecommerce website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on using a page builder (which we&#8217;ll discuss next), the theme also needs to be compatible with it. This will make it easier for you to build custom product pages and other sections for your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Since choosing the right theme is hard, we went ahead and rounded up some of the best picks for WooCommerce. Plus, here&#8217;s a guide on how to choose the right theme for your WooCommerce store:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/choose-woocommerce-theme\/\">Choose the right WooCommerce theme<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-free-woocommerce-themes\/\">free WooCommerce themes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is your first time using WooCommerce, stick with a free theme. Before you spend any money on premium themes, we recommend getting to know WooCommerce and how it works. That way, you&#8217;ll know what features you&#8217;re looking for in a theme if <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-change-a-wordpress-theme\/\">you decide to switch<\/a> down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-7-use-a-page-builder-to-design-the-store\">Step 7: Use a page builder to design the store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, you have all the components of a working ecommerce website. There&#8217;s WooCommerce and WordPress powering it all, a theme that works with your site, and payment, shipping, and tax settings all set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two steps to go now. The first is to get to work on your store&#8217;s design. WooCommerce will automatically set up <em><strong>Shop<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Product<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Cart<\/strong><\/em>, and <strong><em>Checkout<\/em><\/strong> pages for you. However, you still need to create a homepage, tweak your site&#8217;s design, and make sure everything looks just the way you want it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re new to using WordPress, and to building websites in general, your best bet is to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/woocommerce-page-builder\/\">use a page builder plugin<\/a>. These are tools that enable you to create pages using pre-built elements and drag-and-drop functionality. Our recommendation for the job is Elementor (read <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/elementor-review\/\">our review of the plugin<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image
