WordPress Ecommerce is your one-stop solution for all types of online selling through your website. To start, you simply need to register your domain name, subscribe WordPress Ecommerce, and then start adding products by following the given steps.

How To Add A New Product In Your Ecommerce Website?

Simply log in to admin panel of your website by typing yourdomain.com/wp-admin in a web browser and then –

1. Navigate to Products -> Add New page
2. Enter your product Title and Description.
3. Go to the Product Data panel, and select the product type such as a physical good or a downloadable product (for a downloadable product you will be prompted to upload the file you want to sell).

You should know that your online store allows you to sell multiple types of products. Most shop owners just need to sell their physical goods, that is easy, you can simply select product data as ‘Simple Product’ without checking the ‘Virtual’ or ‘Downloadable’ product option, as shown in the given screenshot.

The above-given image shows you the product data section which you can easily find on your new product page, just below the product title and description box.

On the right side, there is a Featured Image box that lets you upload your product image.

That’s All. You Are Ready To Go

Now as you have entered product title, description, and pricing so simply click the ‘Publish’ button and your product will go live on your website. In case you like to know about more options then continue reading the post.

Sales Option (Optional)

The section allows you to enter product price and sale price as well, the sale price is the one which offers your customers the discounted price of your product. For instance – When you put a regular price plus a sales price lower than your regular price, the customer will know the discount you are offering on the product. The discounted price can be scheduled for specific dates and times.

Tax Details (Optional)

For those who are not using the simple flat-rate on products – The section also allows you to enter tax details, so you can make use of it if you are charging tax separately or simply ignore it if you are using flat rates i.e. MRP on your products.

WordPress Ecommerce is not just limited to physical goods but you can sell anything such as services, downloadable products such as files, images, and digital books, etc. Everything is in there, simply start exploring to learn about new things and when you face any problem, use the following comment form.

Instead of first receiving and then refunding the amount on orders which you cannot fulfill, you can follow a policy of first approving or disapproving the orders and then allowing your customers to complete the payment process on your WordPress Ecommerce website.

The feature is very useful for small business owners such as local grocery and departmental stores, especially during this time of pandemic when they quickly run out of stock and new stock takes more than usual time to come.

How To Approve or Reject Orders?

Simply install and activate the new WooCommerce plugin, Order Approval for WooCommerce on your WordPress site. Once the plugin is activated, move to your admin area dashboard WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payments Tab and turn on WooCommerce Order Approval.

This will enable you to manually approve orders made by customers on your eCommerce website.

How WooCommerce Order Approval Works?

1. The customer places an order on your website
2. The order is taken as a request and no payment is processed.
3. Shop owner manually approves or rejects the order and the customer is automatically notified via email
4. On approved orders payment link is sent to the customer whereas, on rejected orders, a cancellation mail is sent

Hence, your customer would be able to preorder things on your website and when their orders are approved, they will receive a payment link to complete their purchase. Currently, the plugin works with all default payment gateways of WooCommerce, there are no complex settings.

You can set a minimum and maximum order amount in your WordPress Ecommerce website to make each order achieve a set amount before it gets placed on your WooCommerce based WordPress website.

“If you don’t have a mobile-friendly eCommerce website, you can make it now, with WordPress Ecommerce. You may also help others in doing the same by starting up as People’s Personal Outlet to build another income stream for yourself”

The new WordPress plugin Set Minimum Order Amount for WooCommerce enables you to quickly set a minimum order amount. Simply install and activate the plugin then navigate to the WooCommerce Settings page and set your minimum order amount.

If in case you need to set both minimum and maximum order amounts then you may use another plugin called Order Minimum/Maximum Amount for WooCommerce (instead of the above-mentioned plugin) to set required minimum and maximum sum with quantity for orders in your website. This plugin provides you more options such as:

• You can set the minimum & maximum sum for orders
• You can set the minimum & maximum quantity for orders
• You can set different order amounts on a per-user role basis
• You can exclude shipping and discounts while calculating the total sum of the order
• You can display customizable user messages on cart and checkout pages
• You can optionally disable customer from reaching the checkout page if in-case requirements are not met

Just as the first plugin, Order Minimum/Maximum Amount for WooCommerce settings can also be managed from the WooCommerce Settings page on your admin area dashboard. This way you can easily define the minimum and maximum order quantities for general and sales orders on your website.
