Leave a comment

The pandemic situation might be improving in some parts of the world but COVID-19 is still here and it bounces back as people try to unlock themselves to old norms.

If the basic WordPress installation is not your ideal business solution then you may limit it for blogging your business and get more advanced features developed in the form of a smartphone app or a plugin by a team of experts, for that you just need to purchase the necessary programming power from the system@sangkrit.net

Collaborate With Your Team Online

Keep Blogging Your Business

You must have noticed various marketing emails in your inbox, most of these emails contain links to blog posts, some ask you to subscribe to their blog, most of the news notifications you see on your smartphone take you to some blog, most of the product releases, updates, and sale notifications are also broadcasted on their specific blogs.

Leave a comment

WordPress Ecommerce provides you all the important options you need to live manage your stock and inventory. You can run your eCommerce website to sell your products online and at the same time, you can control your stock from anywhere.

Managing the product stock status in a store is something that store owners spend a lot of time doing. Products keep coming in, getting purchased, going out of the stock, and needing to be re-status. WordPress Ecommerce aims at making stock management less time-consuming, easier, and automatic.

Managing stock on your website also helps your customers to buy things that are there in stock without end up paying for products that are actually not available. With WordPress Ecommerce, you can effectively keep all records and statistics of selling goods and services. You can manage your inventory and it is much easier than maintaining an offline record of your products.

To start selling anything online, you simply need to register your domain name and then subscribe to WordPress Ecommerce, complete the on-screen tour and you will be taken to the admin panel of your website from where you can add products.

Manage Stock Options

To manage your stock and inventory, navigate to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Inventory, and enable the stock management. You will have the following options.

Enable Stock Management – Inventory for physical products is auto-managed. You enter quantity, and WordPres Ecommerce subtracts items as sales are made, displaying: Stock, Out of Stock, or On Backorder.

Disable Stock Management – When the option is ticked to disable, the inventory and status for physical products must be entered manually. You may still enable stock management on a per-product level if desired.

Apart from the above two main options, there are some more settings such as you can hold products on unpaid orders for any number of minutes. When the limit is reached, the pending order is canceled. You may leave it blank to disable.

You can enable or disable low stock as well as out of stock notifications by adding notification recipient email and setting a number for low stock and out of stock threshold. You can also set your stock display format such as you can make your customers know the low stock availability by displaying messages like – only 2 are left in stock etc on products having a very low stock.

Managing Products With Stock & Inventory

The add new and edit product screen provides you an inventory section that allows you to manage stock for the product individually and define whether to allow backorders and more. It enables you to sell products and allow customers to add them to the cart to buy.

Having stock management enabled, you simply need to enter the stock quantity, and WordPress Ecommerce auto-manages inventory and auto-updates the stock status.

And if the stock management is disabled, you are responsible for updating your stock status on your own.

Start Selling Products Subscription For Recurring Income

Leave a comment

The overall value of a subscriber is much more than a general shopper. Selling subscriptions helps you to build a reliable source of income with recurring value. Subscription is not just limited to digital services but now you can use it on your eCommerce website for physical products also.

The consumer needs essential items on a regular basis so by offering a discounted or un-discounted product subscription you will help your customer to get his products delivered on first priority, without making him select and checkout the same products every month. This will help you to engage your customers and you will make money every month.

Starting a subscription-based eCommerce website is easy, simply register your domain name, subscribe WordPress Ecommerce, complete the quick start wizard then log in to the admin panel and add your products.

You can offer subscriptions on individual products as well as bundled products. Simply navigate to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Extensions page to enable and set up a subscription option on your WordPress Ecommerce website.

You may also offer a discount to your prospects as an inducement for subscribing. To automatically charge subscription amount from your customers every month, you will need an online payment method, this can be enabled from WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payments (Tab). You can also use the free payment gateway such as PayPal or other payment options such as Pay On Delivery or Direct Bank Transfer if in case you don’t want to use other payment gateway services.

How To Collaborate With Your Team Online From Your Website?

Leave a comment

Business communication is a critical requirement that can be effectively managed online from within your WordPress site. If you have a WordPress Website or running an online store with WordPress Ecommerce, you can easily set up an internal communication system to talk to your team and collaborate with them online from your home.

As discussed, you can establish async communication with your customers simply by blogging your business and interacting with them from the comment section after every blog post on your website, this works for public interactions. Apart from this, you can also share private blog posts only visible to your team members to establish internal communication within your website.

Share Private Blog Posts For Internal Communication

This can be done by visiting the ‘Add New’ post screen from the admin panel of your WordPress site, switching to the ‘Document’ menu on the right side followed by clicking ‘Visibility’ under the ‘Status & Visibility’ section. Here you can either set the post to private i.e. visible only to site members or password protected.

Asynchronous communication is the best way of managing your team on the remote. As that doesn’t require both parties to be present online at the same time. A Private & Protected blog post is another example of this. By sharing private posts you can start private discussions between your team members, assign tasks to them, send updates, and make your people focus on given tasks.

Establish A Dedicated Online Communication System

This is another option that can be implemented either by starting a new WordPress site for internal communications or a subdomain-subdirectory based WordPress installation to work on side of your main website.

Once you are subscribed to Managed WordPress or have installed it manually on a subdomain of your website then simply log in to the admin panel to install-activate the P2 theme. Once the theme is activated, you can add new members on your website by visiting Users -> Add New page.

The theme is installed, users are added, now visit the front-end of your website for posting and interacting with your team members. You may visit Make WordPress Core to see how a P2 implemented remote working system looks like.

Live discussions over the P2 theme are dynamic enough to manage all small and big interactions with your team from within your WordPress site.
