Introduction

In Chapter 1, WooCommerce Basics, you set up your store. The recipes in this chapter are all about adding products to your store. There are many different ways to configure your products. Knowing a little bit about each will help you decide how you want to display your products to your customer. Near the end of the chapter, we'll also touch on removing or reorganizing some of the information on the product page.

WooCommerce started with just simple and variable products. Over the years, other developers have come in and created different ways to sell products. In this chapter, we'll look at simple products, variable products, the Product Add-ons plugin, and the Product Bundles plugin. There are other ways to configure your products, but these are some of the most commonly used ones. At the end of this chapter, you should have all of the products in your store configured the way you want them. In Chapter 3, Changing the Product Organization, we'll cover how to...

Adding a simple product

The best place to start when learning how you can add products to WooCommerce is to add a simple product. A simple product is the most basic product that you can create in WooCommerce. All other product types are based on the simple product and add extra controls.

How to do it…

In order to add a simple product to WooCommerce, take a look at the following steps:

  1. Go to Products | Add Product.
    How to do it…
  2. Enter the name of the product in the Product name field. In the text editor right beneath the Product name field, enter the product's description. In most themes, this copy will appear beneath the product, so you could write paragraphs and paragraphs if you wish.
  3. Scroll down to the Product Data panel.
    How to do it…
  4. Enter the product's price in the Regular Price ($) field.
  5. Scroll down to the Product Short Description panel and enter a short description of the product. This copy will appear above the Buy button, so it's best if it's only one or two lines. It is usually a summary...

Adding an image gallery to a product

One of the things that can really sell a product is having high-quality visuals. For some types of products, you may only need one photo. For other markets, especially upper-scale markets, the more photos, the better. Included in WooCommerce is the ability to show off a gallery of images.

Getting ready

You need to have a product on your site. If you haven't already done this, please follow the steps in the preceding recipe, Adding a simple product.

How to do it…

In order to add an image gallery to a product, go through the following steps:

  1. In the WordPress admin, click on the Products menu and navigate to your product.
  2. Once you're on the product detail page, look for the Product Gallery meta box and click on Add product gallery images.
    How to do it…
  3. Just like with the Featured Image configuration, you can either select existing images or upload as many images as you like.
  4. Now that you've added the images to the product gallery, you can arrange them however...

Changing image sizes in WooCommerce

If your products fit nicely into perfectly square images and they look good as they are in your theme, then you can probably skip this recipe. For some themes or some types of products, though, it's really beneficial to change how WooCommerce crops your images. If you're selling ties, for example, it's probably worth telling WooCommerce to crop them so they're long and skinny.

Getting ready

It's best if you have already created a couple of products and look at them to compare how the Featured Image and the Product Gallery look on their product pages. If you see gaps around the images, you may be able to increase the product image size and take advantage of that space.

How to do it…

Changing image sizes can be done in two parts. The first part will change the settings, and this will affect all future uploads. The second part will install a plugin that will force your website to recrop every image, which will affect all past...

Adding a downloadable file to a product

WooCommerce is just as good to sell virtual products as it is to sell physical products. The beauty of the way it's set up is that any product type can be a virtual product. It could be a simple product, a variable product, a subscription product (which we'll cover in Chapter 4, Running a Membership Site), and so on. WooCommerce handles all of the download permissions. Fulfilling virtual products is completely automated. As soon as you receive payment, the customer receives an email with a special link to download to the file.

The simple product I set up in previous recipes is a poster. I could change this product so that it includes a digital download in addition to the physical product or I could even change it so that the customer only receives a digital download and there is no physical product shipped.

Getting ready

Make sure you already have a simple product in your store.

How to do it…

In the first section, I'm going to add...

Adding global product attributes

In addition to using categories and tags similar to WordPress posts, there's one extra way that you can categorize your products, and that is by using product attributes. Product attributes are things such as color, size, style, and so on. A simple product could have multiple attributes. A small red and blue t-shirt could have the following attributes: red, blue, and small.

Setting up global product attributes will make creating variable products easier down the road.

How to do it…

Make sure you already have a simple product in your store and proceed with the following steps:

  1. From the WordPress admin, go to Products | Attributes.
    How to do it…
  2. Under the Add New Attribute heading, you'll see settings to create attributes. The only mandatory field is Name.
  3. Enter a name for the attribute and click on the Add Attribute button.
  4. Now click on the icon on the far right in the Attribute table. When you hover over the button, you should see Configure terms.

I haven't finished the book but I skimmed some of the chapters. For the Woocommerce novice it looks like a good place to start.I am disappointed that someone else gave this book a one star review without any feedback, so I'm giving it five stars to offset that. I think three or four stars would be my normal rating.One caveat I have about this book is its endorsement of plugins that cost a fair amount of money without clearly explaining that. The information about cost may be in there but not in the chapters I have read so far. In the beginning they mention "There are several free WooThemes products including Pay with Amazon" but the chapters I have read have you downloading plugins that cost $$$ in order to complete tasks explained in the book. (Shipping is a prime example.)Though I think paying for plugins is fair, some of the pricing can be over-the-top.Woocommerce will work in free mode but if you are serious about your store, you will need to spend some bucks on plugins to make it comparable to other paid shopping software.

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.
