Summary

In this chapter, we first went through the steps that we needed to take before installing WooCommerce. We had to ensure that our WordPress site was set up correctly and that we could build everything in a properly set-up test site.

Once we had that sorted, we installed a few plugins to keep our admin interface free of ads, which could distract us or our clients.

We then installed WooCommerce and Jetpack and configured a number of basic settings through the welcome wizard. With these steps, you can set up and test as many WooCommerce sites as you want.

Now that we’ve done all of that, we’re ready to create products in our store. In the next chapter, we will learn to build and configure new products.
