Love this book! It's not just the basics of WooCommerce, either! Goes into fulfillment, syncing product data, and even instore POS systems.I thought I knew everything about WooCommerce but the author, Patrick wrote about using social proof to create FOMO and thats when I knew this was a must read for all WordPress professionals!

I have been following Patrick Rauland for a while now, watching and learning from him in his LinkedIn Learning courses on Ecommerce fundamentals, WordPress, SEO, and WooCommerce. Patrick used to work for WooCommerce so he is passionate about teaching the ins and outs of the plugin and the power of its application in the real world.This book, Mastering WooCommerice, is a go-to reference on the subject. It teaches us both the basics and the advanced features, guiding us through building (from scratch), customizing, and launching a complete Ecommerce website using WooCommerce.The book is brimming with illustrations, which enhances the learning experience. If you are a visual learner, like me, you will be especially happy with the way the book is designed and laid out.The only thing missing is information on how to test or implement WooCommerce if you are building a website locally before going live. A statement or two about this topic would have rounded out the book in a way that made it perfect for everyone building websites.Regardless, Mastering WooCommerce is a great addition to my web design/web creation library. I highly recommend it.

Since WooCommerce is a plugin that integrates with the broader WordPress ecosystem, it can be challenging for new builders to understand how to use it, how it fits into the broader WordPress site, and how plugins can be used to extend the site. I love that the book covers both helpful Woo plugins as well as broader WordPress plugins and features that can be leveraged to create a Woo site. There are actionable tips and tool recommendations for builders to start creating Woo sites — and even if you've built one before, you'll probably find a new trick or two. The only thing it doesn't cover much is advanced design, favoring details on how to use an existing theme.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
