Website Building General

What is WooCommerce and how do I set up an online store in India?

WooCommerce is the world's most popular e-commerce platform powering 39% of all online stores, built as a free WordPress plugin. It transforms any WordPress site into a full-featured store with product catalog, shopping cart, checkout, order management, and customer accounts. India-specific setup: 1) Install WooCommerce on Connect Quest WordPress hosting via Plugins > Add New. 2) Set currency to Indian Rupee (₹) in WooCommerce > Settings > General. 3) Install Razorpay for WooCommerce plugin for UPI/cards/netbanking payment acceptance. 4) Install WooCommerce GST plugin for automated CGST/SGST/IGST calculation. 5) Configure shipping: install Shiprocket or DTDC plugin for rate calculation at checkout. 6) Enable Cash on Delivery (crucial for India — 40-60% of orders). 7) Set up Aadhaar/PAN-verified KYC for age-restricted products if applicable. WooCommerce is free; extensions cost Rs 2,000-10,000/year. Hosting requirement: minimum 2 GB RAM VPS for production stores. Full WooCommerce hosting at connectquest.co.in.
