In this first lesson of our Create an Online Store with WooCommerce course we discuss why we’ve chosen WooCommerce as our shopping cart. Then we install and configure the plugin for Thesis 2.1, and for two child themes of Genesis 2, ClipCart and Agency. Then we move on to working on the product catalog and how to configure taxes, shipping, inventory and payment gateways. Finally, we show how to create both physical and digital products.
