WooCommerce Tutorial - Build eCommerce Website on WordPress

About this video

Kevin builds a e-commerce store for the Kevin Cookie Company using Elementor hosting with WooCommerce, drag-and-drop and no coding. He notes Elementor powers over 16 million websites and WooCommerce is used by over 4 million stores. He chooses the Sell Pro plan, noting the Sell Pro and Sell Pro+ plans for beginners, included Shoptimizer WooCommerce theme designed to convert visitors and optimized for search engines, enterprise-grade security, 24/7 real human support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. In the Elementor dashboard he names the site, explains connecting or buying a custom domain (Elementor partners with Hover) instead of the default elementor.cloud address, and notes business email options via Zoho, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. In the WordPress dashboard he runs the WooCommerce setup flow, discussing WooPayments, WooCommerce Shipping and WooCommerce Tax, then adds a first product: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies at a regular price of $25, with description, short description, product image and gallery images with alt text, inventory/SKU/shipping settings, a new ‘cookies’ category and tags chocolate, new and baked — explaining categories are broad groupings while tags are more specific. He activates and customizes Shoptimizer, setting logo, tagline, site icon, navigation colors and menus. For the homepage, renamed from Sample Homepage, he hides the title, uses Elementor AI to generate a hero layout (choosing among three variations), sets a hero image with a white background overlay, edits text with AI, fixes the shop button link, drags in containers, a ‘New Arrivals’ heading and a gallery, reorders containers in the structure view, and inserts a testimonials block from the template library, matching its heading to global colors and fonts before publishing. Finally he covers WooCommerce settings for store address, tax and currency, shipping zones (free US shipping in the example), payments via WooPayments and alternatives like direct bank transfer, check and cash on delivery, launching via Site Visibility, testing cart and checkout, and viewing orders, customers and reports, plus Commerce Kit features like countdown timers and order bumps.

Key takeaways

• Elementor hosting with WooCommerce lets you build a store drag-and-drop with no coding; the video uses the Sell Pro plan with the Shoptimizer theme
• Add products with price, descriptions, images and gallery with alt text, inventory and shipping settings, categories for broad grouping and tags for specifics
• Customize the Shoptimizer theme for logo, tagline, site icon, colors and menus, since theme changes apply throughout the site
• Build pages three ways: Elementor AI generation, dragging widgets into containers, or inserting templates/blocks and then customizing them to global styles
• Before going live, configure store address, tax, currency, shipping zones and payments such as WooPayments, then switch Site Visibility to live and test checkout
