Hello Experts I have an existing website running on WordPress. This website showcases our product range / portfolio. We plan to start selling some of our stuff online. I have used WooCommerce earlier for some other project. The existing theme is more of a portfolio theme and not suitable for an eCommerce website. Which option you think I should go ahead with considering the maintainance, SEO and other aspects. Setup a sub-domain like "shop.domain.com" and install a new WP setup with Woo Commerce and a specialised eCommerce Theme Simply add "Buy Now" buttons manually to the products I wish to sell online in existing setup. Make a new website with new theme which supports both Portfolio and eCommerce functions. Thanks in advance.
Hello there, 1- I assume that you use a Homepage as Static page and Blog for recent posts : So in this case, the simple easy, safe way with no hassle, is to use the WooCommerce Shortcodes to display your products on Homepage.. You can use for example : [recent_products per_page="12" columns="4"] 2- You can install Woocommerce and create a Page to display the Woocommerce products like : Our Shop or something then use the Shortcodes to list your products. 3- The Subdomain solution can work too but the main subject is to Earn Money and to Earn Money it's better to add the products on your Main Website which have a Traffic Juice, Trust Flow !! so why wasting time and energy on a Subdomain website creation!! Goodluck
Update: I finally decided to Install woocommerce on a sub domain. This way my existing website database is not affected and I can see selective products on my e-commerce site. Thanks
Hi, As suggested, Woocommerce, I'm using it on 3 sites, Just love it, Even better it's free, Takes a little while to get used to it but once you do, I'm sure you will be pleased, I'm also using the free storefront template. Best Regards J
