How to Make Ecommerce Website in WordPress for Beginners

You might follow the steps below to create a fully functional ecommerce website in WordPress.

Step 1 – Decide What to Sell and Research Buyers and the Market

You’ve probably heard the famous proverb “Look before you leap.” So, first, you need to decide what you want to sell before creating an ecommerce website. 

Start with selecting a niche. Spend a good amount of time seeking and picking a niche and products to sell. Try to follow what’s currently trending (keep an eye on social media and Google Trends to track trends) and check reviews of the most loved products of diverse niches.

Once you choose a niche and products, research your target audience. Understand their needs, demographics, and culture. Learn about their problems and ensure your products solve them. 

After that, research your competitors, conduct a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis, and learn about their customers and marketing strategies. Try to beat them with your products and marketing strategies.

Step 2 – Purchase a Domain and Connect It with a Web Host

After picking a niche and conducting thorough research on the market and buyers, you need to plan on building your ecommerce store. Start by selecting a domain name and a hosting provider. Don’t get overwhelmed if you don’t know anything about these. Instead, read on.

What’s a Domain Name and Hosting?

A domain is an address of your website. Imagine this: someone asks you where you live. You give them your address so they can visit you at home. A domain name works the same way. It lets web visitors find and visit your website.

On the contrary, a web host is where your website lives. It’s your site’s home. We believe you now better understand what a domain and a hosting are. Let’s now discuss what to consider while choosing a domain and a hosting for your ecommerce business.

Best Practices to Follow While Buying a Domain and a Hosting Provider

When picking a domain name for your ecommerce business, follow the factors below to avoid pitfalls. 

• Select an available domain name, free from any trademarks, and reflects your brand and product categories (Use domain name generators for ideas)
• Prioritize a memorable and short domain name that is easy to write and spell and doesn’t contain special characters and numbers
• Choose the correct domain name extension (a suffix at the end of your domain) for your ecommerce website (e.g., .com, .shop, .store, etc.)
• Get a domain that features keywords related to your business for SEO benefits
• Check the domain price and renewal options
• Register your domain with one of the best domain name registrars, such as IONOS, Dreamhost, Namecheap, etc.
• Consider including domain security (SSL certificate) and privacy protections to hide your personal information

Okay, let’s now talk about what to look at when choosing a hosting provider for your ecommerce website.

• Go with a hosting provider that guarantees a high uptime (at least 99.99%)
• Pick a hosting plan that allows you to accommodate future growth in traffic easily
• Make sure the hosting plan comes with excellent bandwidth and storage
• Check if the hosting provider provides robust security protection  (DDoS protection)
• Ensure your chosen hosting provider offers automatic, frequent backups 
• Select a hosting provider that offers built-in ecommerce features, like shopping cart functionality
• Choose a hosting provider that provides an easy-to-use control panel 
• Inspect the quality and availability of customer support 
• Compare pricing plans and renewal fees with other contenders 
• Use a CDN to ensure fast content delivery in diverse geographical locations

These are the best practices to follow when you choose a domain and a hosting provider for your ecommerce store. We’ll now discuss what to do next once you find your desired domain and connect it with a hosting provider. 

N:B: We avoided demonstrating how to connect a domain to a hosting provider because different providers use different methods. You can contact your hosting provider to learn the steps for making an accurate domain connection.

Step 3 – Select a Website Builder or CMS

Now that you’ve purchased a domain and connected it with a hosting provider, you need to select a website builder or CMS (Content Management System) for your website. Here’s what to consider when picking one.

• Select a CMS with a user-friendly interface, drag-and-drop functionality, and no coding skill required if you lack technical expertise 
• Pick a CMS that can easily handle increased traffic as your business grows 
• Inspect if the platform lets you create a responsive and lightweight ecommerce store 
• Ensure it supports the easy integration of third-party tools and services 
• Make sure the CMS provides freedom of design customization 
• Choose a CMS with robust security features to protect customer data 
• Check the CMS’s ability to manage ecommerce store functionalities like product variations, promotions, customer reviews, etc.
• Go with a CMS that lets you easily optimize your website for SEO 
• Check the availability and quality of customer support 
• Compare your chosen CMS’s pricing plans with others
• Read customer reviews 

Lastly, finalize a CMS. We chose WordPress since it meets all the criteria above, is open-source, and is free to use. So, we’ll log in to our cPanel (you’ll get it after purchasing a hosting plan) and install WordPress. 

It’s easy to install—just a few clicks, and you can set a username and password. That’s it. If you have trouble installing this CMS, consider contacting your hosting provider for a smooth installation.

We skipped showing you how to install WordPress on cPanel since it’s SUPER EASY. Instead, this article will address the challenging tasks of creating an ecommerce store.

Step 4 – Install an E-commerce-Friendly Theme

At this stage, you need to choose and install an e-commerce-friendly theme for your store. However, the question is how to get one and what to consider when seeking one. 

Read the criteria below for your answer:

• Check if the theme has a clear visual hierarchy with easy-to-find product information and navigation. 
• Ensure it adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes. 
• Your chosen theme should clearly display high-quality product images, detailed descriptions, variations, etc.
• It needs to come with search functionality and ajax filter
• Your selected theme should feature a simple checkout process
• It should allow seamless payment gateway integration
• The theme needs to load fast to reduce cart abandonment 
• It should be compatible with your chosen CMS and other necessary tools
• The theme needs to provide you with customization freedom
• It should enable customers to leave reviews and ratings and suggest related products
• The theme should let shoppers share products on social media

Since we’ll install the theme on WordPress, we ensure that our chosen theme works with Elementor, a famous drag-and-drop page builder, and WooCommerce, a popular e-commerce WordPress plugin, alongside check marking the criteria above.

Okay, we chose Astra, which will work great for this tutorial. However, we recommend picking a paid theme to build and operate your e-commerce stores professionally. 

Visit this page on the best WooCommerce themes to find a top-grade, e-commerce-friendly theme that meets your needs. Let’s now install and activate Astra theme.

Follow these steps to install and activate the theme:

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Panel and navigate to Appearance > Themes.

2. Then, press “Add New Theme” button on the top left-hand side

3. Type your theme name in the theme search field on the top right-hand side.

4. Once you find your preferred theme, click ‘Install’ button.

5. Lastly, press ‘Activate’ button.

That’s how you install and activate a theme in WordPress. You can now visit your website to see its outlook. 

Step 5 – Customize Your E-commerce Website

As you can see, our website has a basic outlook, which isn’t ideal for an e-commerce business. So, we’ll customize it to make it professional. Let’s begin.

First, we’ll delete the unnecessary post (Hello world!) from our website. To do that, go to WP Admin Dashboard > Posts > All Posts. 

Then, you’ll see all the posts. Hover your mouse pointer over a post you want to delete. You’ll then notice a few options. Click ‘Trash’ to send the post to the trash.

Now, delete this post permanently. To do so, click the ‘Trash’ link at the top.

You’ll see the post you sent to the ‘Trash.’ Again, hover the mouse pointer over that post and hit “Delete Permanently.”

This way, you can permanently delete any post in WordPress. Now, we’ll discuss another crucial factor people often overlook – setting up your site’s permalink.

If you need to know what a permalink is, here you go: It’s a permanent URL to a particular page, post, or other content on your site. 

You need to correctly set the permanent link for your posts and pages to get SEO  (Search Engine Optimization) benefits. Doing so signals search engines that your site’s URLs are well-structured, so search engines can easily interpret your site’s content. 

So, let’s appropriately set up our site’s permalink structure. 

1. Go to WP Admin Panel > Settings > Permalinks.

2. Now, head to “Permalink structure” section, click “Post name” radio button, and press “Save Changes” button.

That’s it. 

At this stage, you need to design your website to look professional. You can start by changing its logo, color palette, typography, and more. 

You can accomplish these tasks by following the traditional method or taking a different approach. We’ll take the easy route and customize our site with Elementor, one of the famous WordPress page builders. 

Why Elementor? This plugin lets us easily build and customize any web page on WordPress by dragging and dropping elements. It also enables us to do everything from changing global colors to setting up a logo. 

That’s why we chose this plugin. In the following sections, we will demonstrate how to use it. Let’s begin.

Install and Activate Elementor

We’ll now install and activate the Elementor plugin to build and customize our e-commerce store. To do so, navigate to WP Admin Panel > Plugins > Add New Plugin. 

Afterward, type ‘Elementor’ in the “Search Plugins” field on the top right-hand side to search for this plugin in the plugin repository.

Press “Install Now” button of the marked plugin (Elementor) in the screenshot below.

Lastly, click ‘Activate’ button.

Okay, we’ll now start designing our site with this plugin.

Create and Design a Page with Elementor

First, we’ll create a homepage. To do so, go to the WordPress Admin Panel > Pages > Add New Page.

You’ll then visit Gutenberg, aka the block editor. You can work on this editor to customize a page if you know how to use a block editor. Also, you can design a page with Elementor – the choice is yours.

Anyway, now give your page a title. Write your page title in “Add title” field. Additionally, click the eye icon beside the “Add title” field to turn it on or off. Why?

You can turn it off to prevent the page title from appearing on the front end or on to display it. 

Once you have written the page title and turned off the eye icon, click the “Edit with Elementor” button.

You’ll now visit the Elementor Editor. 

Choose a Color Palette

Let’s determine a color palette for our e-commerce website. If you need to know what a color palette is, here’s the information: It’s a selection of colors used together in design or art. A website’s color palette usually consists of Primary, Secondary, and Accent colors. 

The primary color is the dominant color of your site, while the accent color is for headings or post tiles. Lastly, the secondary color contrasts with the other colors to make essential elements of your site stand out, such as CTA buttons.

Let’s now select a color palette. To do so, click the “Site Settings” tool on the toolbar at the top left of Elementor Editor.

Afterward, navigate to the “Site Settings” panel on the left and select the “Global Colors” configuration option. 

You’ll now see global color settings on the panel. You can change global colors either from the panel or the canvas within Elementor Editor.

Now, click each color option and select a color from the color picker. You can drag the color sampler to select your desired color on the color picker or insert a hex code of your preferred color in Hexa field within the color picker. 

Once you select a color, click “Save Changes” button.

Follow these exact steps to change secondary and accent colors. That’s how you select a color palette for your website.

Select the Typography of Your Site

Like colors, you need to set the typography of your website to make it look professional. Head to Site Settings > Typography on the Elementor Editor to set the typography. 

Then, you’ll notice settings to change your website’s typography and color for body text and headings. Choose each option and its corresponding elements to select its typography and color, and finally, click “Save Changes” button. 

Set a Logo

You can now create a brand logo for your ecommerce store. A logo is essential for your website as it helps you create brand identity. Therefore, first, get a logo designed by a professional logo designer. 

You can search for such a person on Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer, or other marketplaces. Alternatively, design your logo using Canva or other free online logo maker tools. You can even try ChatGPT to create a logo free of cost. 

N:B: Create two versions of your logo: one primary logo and the other favicon.

After designing or getting your brand logo, upload it to your ecommerce website. Here’s how you can do it with Elementor.

Just navigate to Site Settings > Site Identity when you’re inside the Editor.

Here, you’ll find fields and options to write your website name, description (what your site is about), logo, and favicon. Work on each option and click “Save Changes” button.

Create a Hero Section on Homepage

We’ll accomplish this job using the Elementor Canvas and its widgets. Let’s now see how we perform this task.

First, we’ll insert a flexbox container to insert our preferred widgets into that container. Thus, press the ‘+’ icon on the Elementor Canvas or on the top-left toolbar. 

Afterward, select the ‘Flexbox’  layout.

Then, choose a flexbox structure.

You can now see a container on the Elementor Canvas. 

Edit this container as you need using the Elementor panel. For instance, change the container’s height and width according to your requirements.

After customizing the container, click the container’s plus icon to include a widget. 

Now, look at the Elementor panel on the left-hand side. You’ll see many widgets. 

Since we want to add a video to the hero section, we’ll insert the video widget by dragging and dropping it into the container.

Afterward, we will upload the video and configure some video settings using ‘Content’ tab on the Elementor panel. 

Besides the Content tab, Elementor provides two additional tabs, Style and Advance, to customize a widget. We skip discussing how to use these tabs and their benefits to keep the content compact.

Then, add another widget to include necessary texts that align with the video. Click the plus icon at the top left of the toolbar. Search for the ‘Heading’ widget and drag and drop it over the video widget.

Write your heading to finish building the hero section. You can be creative and research other ecommerce stores to design your WooCommerce store’s hero image.

That’s how you create a section using Elementor. As you can see, it’s a lengthy process, and you must follow many steps to create just one section. You need to follow these steps to build other homepage sections.

Alternatively, use Elementor’s pre-made blocks and pages to create a section and page instantly. However, you must have the paid Elementor plugin to enjoy that facility.

So, does that mean there’s no other way? Of course not. We’ll show you a time-saving and magical way to create nearly all the necessary pages of a WooCommerce store with a few clicks in the bonus section. Ensure you read that section of this article. 

Anyway, once you finish designing the homepage, make sure to click the ‘Publish’ button to make your page visible on the front-end.

That’s how you create and design a page. We know we skipped many steps related to page customization because we wanted to avoid showing repetitive steps. 

Instead, we illuminated the path to page customization. We encourage you to explore yourself and create eye-catching web pages with Elementor.

However, we’ll show you how to create professional and essential pages for your ecommerce store in a few clicks in the bonus section of this content. So, keep reading.

Step 6 – Add Ecommerce Functionalities to Your Website

It’s time to add ecommerce functionalities to your store. We’ll install and activate another quintessential and popular plugin – WooCommerce for that. 

It will help us add and manage products, accept online payments, set shipping and taxation fees, and manage other aspects of e-commerce businesses. Let’s install it.

Head over to your WordPress Admin Panel > Plugins > Add New Plugin. Afterward, search for ‘WooCommerce’ in the “Search Plugins” field on the top right-hand side. 

Now, press “Install Now” button of WooCommerce plugin. Once it gets installed, click ‘Activate’ button.

You’ll then visit the WooCommerce setup page. Hit “Skip guided setup” link to avoid following the lengthy setup process.

Then, choose your store country and click “Go to my store” button.

That’s it. You now need to work with WooCommerce settings. 

Explore and Configure WooCommerce Settings

First, head to WP Admin Panel > WooCommerce > Settings. 

You’ll now notice nine tabs: General, Products, Shipping, Payments, Accounts & Privacy, Emails, Integration, Site visibility, and Advanced.

Let’s inspect the ‘General’ tab. 

WooCommerce General Tab

This tab allows you to set your store address and the country where you sell and ship products. It also lets you enable taxes and coupons and set your store currency.

WooCommerce Products Tab

The Products tab enables you to determine which page your shop page will be and what happens when shoppers add a product to a cart. 

Additionally, this tab allows you to set product dimensions and enable product ratings and reviews. It features several submenus, which you’ll find underneath the ‘Products’ tab.

These submenus help you manage your inventory and set settings for downloadable products. 

WooCommerce Shipping Tab

WooCommerce’s ‘Shipping’ tab enables you to create shipping zones and classes and assign available shipping methods and shipping fees to these zones for physical products. 

Read WooCommerce’s shipping zone documentation to learn how to set up shipping zones in WooCommerce.

WooCommerce Payments Tab

WooCommerce’s ‘Payments’ tab lets you set crucial payment gateways like PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more to collect payments after selling products. 

You may read this WooPayments setup guide to understand how to configure payment gateways better.

WooCommerce Accounts & Privacy Tab

This tab allows you to configure settings regarding account creation and user privacy. It also lets you set whether guests can purchase products without creating accounts from your store. 

Besides, this WooCommerce tab allows you to set a privacy policy and determine how long your site will retain user data. 

WooCommerce Emails Tab

This tab helps you see a list of emails that WooCommerce automatically sends when certain events occur. For instance, when a new order is placed, WooCommerce sends a customer an email (from your defined email address). 

This tab also lets you view emails with updates about customers, like completed orders, refunds, etc. 

WooCommerce Integration Tab

The ‘Integration’ tab lets you integrate MaxMind Geolocation with your store. This integration allows you to accurately identify a customer’s location based on their IP address. 

As a result, you can display localized content, such as currency, shipping options, tax rates, and more, to your targeted customers. 

WooCommerce Site Visibility Tab

This tab lets you control whether your website is visible to the public or not. With this tab, you can display a coming-soon message on your store pages, share a private link with anyone to access your website, and set your store live and accessible to everyone. 

WooCommerce Advanced Tab

The ‘Advanced’ tab is the last tab under WooCommerce’s settings. It is designed for advanced store owners with technical knowledge. 

WooCommerce’s ‘Advanced’ tab enables you to manage cart and checkout pages, create API access tokens, set up webhooks, and enable experimental features for more advanced control over your e-commerce store.

Take the time to learn everything about WooCommerce’s ‘Settings’ menu. Read the WooCommerce settings documentation and watch video tutorials if you need help along your learning journey. Then, proceed to the next step.

Step 7 – Include Products in Your Ecommerce Website

Once you’ve learned and worked with WooCommerce settings, you can add a product to your store. To do so, navigate to WP Admin Panel > Products > Add new product.

Then, write your product title in “Add new product” field.

Now, add your product description to “Product description” box.

After that, head to “Product data –” area and click on the drop-down menu beside “Product data –” option. This menu lets you define your product type, and it contains the following product types: 

Simple product: Choose this option to add a simple and single product.

Grouped product: Select it to include a bundle of different products.

External/Affiliate product: Choose this if you want users to purchase products outside your store.

Variable product: Select it to add a variable product (a variable product refers to a product with variations like colors and sizes).

If your product is virtual and downloadable, you can define that too by checkmarking ‘Virtual’ and ‘Downloadable’ checkboxes beside the “Product data –” drop-down menu.

Okay, now look at the tabs under the “Product data –” option. You’ll see seven tabs: General, Inventory, Shipping, Linked Products, Attributes, Advanced, and Get more options.

The ‘General’ tab lets you add a product’s regular and sale prices. 

The ‘Inventory’ tab lets you add the product SKU, set a specific number of stocks for your product, set the stock status, and more.

The ‘Shipping’ tab allows you to specify a product’s weight, dimensions, and shipping class. The “Linked Products” tab lets you include products for upselling or cross-selling.

The ‘Attributes’ tab enables you to define specific characteristics or details about a product, like size, color, etc.

The ‘Advanced’ tab lets you add a purchase note for customers, turn customer reviews on or off for your product, and more. Lastly, the ‘Get more options’ tab allows you to add extensions for more advanced features. 

After working with each tab, scroll down to the “Product short description” box and write your product’s short description. The description will appear beside your product and near the price. 

Then, look at the right-hand side and click the“+ Add New Brand” link to add your product brand. Write a product tag in “Product tags” box and create a product category by clicking “+ Add new category” link to create a product category. 

Then, scroll up and look at the right side and include your product’s main image by clicking the “Set product image” link and add a few more images of the same products by hitting “Add product gallery images” link. 

You are almost ready to publish your first product. Before publishing it, thoroughly review everything and hit the ‘Publish’ button. 

That’s how you include a product in your ecommerce store. Now, visit the product page to see the newly published product.

Bonus: Customize Your Checkout Page Like a Pro

We’ve built a basic WooCommerce store and published a product. Now, it’s time to level it up, professionally design every page, and add all the products you want to sell online. 

Besides, you need to optimize your store, especially the checkout page, to reduce the cart abandonment rate. 

We’ll show you how to create and optimize the checkout page now. We believe you’ll follow our example and professionally design and optimize all your store pages. Let’s get started.

We’ll install a plugin called ShopBuilder. It supports Elementor and WooCommerce and helps you build eye-catching, high-converting stores in minutes.

Install and Activate ShopBuilder

Installing and activating this plugin is SUPER EASY. Follow the same steps you followed to install Elementor and WooCommerce. In essence, follow these steps every time you install and activate a plugin. You can check ShopBuilder demo.

Therefore, navigate to your WP Admin Panel > Plugins > Add New Plugin. Search for ‘ShopBuilder’ in the “Search Plugins” field on the top right-hand side. Click “Install Now” button and wait. Finally, press ‘Activate’ button. That’s it.

Build a Professional Checkout Page and Optimize It

To create a checkout, virtually all the essential store pages with ShopBuilder, head to WP Admin Dashboard > ShopBuilder > Templates Builder.

Hit “Add New Page” button on the top left-hand side.

You’ll then see a pop-up featuring template settings and a few templates for various ecommerce store pages. Thus, write your template name in the “Template Name” field.

After that, click on “Select Template Type” drop-down menu and choose ‘Checkout’ template.

You now need to select a page editor. Currently, ShopBuilder supports the “Elementor Editor,” so choose it from the “Select Editor Type” drop-down menu. 

Nonetheless, you can utilize “Gutenberg (Block)” editor with ShopBuilder in the future.

Then, turn on “Set as Active Template” switch. 

Now, head to “Pre-built Templates – Checkout” section and hover your mouse pointer over a free checkout template. 

You’ll see ‘Preview’ and ‘Import’ buttons. Press the ‘Import’ button to import that particular checkout page.

Finally, click “Edit With Elementor” button to customize this checkout page with Elementor.

You can now customize this checkout page using Elementor Editor and ShopBuilder’s widgets. We’ll remove the “Order notes” field from the checkout page for demonstration purposes. See the animation below to understand how we do it.

As you can see in the animation, we’ve removed the “Order notes” field from the checkout page. However, what about other fields? Let’s remove a few more fields to allow shoppers to make quick purchases.

Optimize Your Checkout Page

We’ll accomplish this task using ShopBuilder’s “Checkout Fields Editor” module. To do so, go to the WordPress Admin Panel > ShopBuilder > Settings.

Then, ensure you are on ‘Modules’ tab and click “Checkout Fields Editor” module.

You’ll see a pop-up. Now, turn on “Enable Checkout Fields Editor?” switch and click “Save Changes” button.

Then, click the “Billing Fields” tab and enable “Customize Billing Form?” switch to customize or remove your preferred billing fields from the checkout page.

Now, we have to click on a billing field we want to customize or remove. 

For example, we might want to remove “Company name (optional)” field from the checkout page. So, we scroll down to find that field and click on the triangle icon to open its settings.

Now, turn off “Enable Field?” switch and press “Save Changes” button. 

Now, visit the checkout page to see the changes. Here are the before and after images of our checkout page.
