Description

Update April/2015: This course is now the most popular and highest-rated WordPress eCommerce and WooCommerce course on Udemy (9000+ students). When you take the course you will see why: we teach you in a progressive way that allows you to quickly pick-up the basics in order to create your first ecommerce store in as little as 15-30 minutes -- while at the same time covering almost the entire WooCommerce functionality in the more advanced videos. This course will save you hours of trial-and-error in setting up your first ecommerce store, and may also give you ideas that will enhance your sales and help manage your site and user-experience better. Equally important, we will show where another type of ecommerce solution is best.

______

This course takes you step-by-step through the process of adding a shopping cart to your WordPress website and collecting money for your products or services.

We start by reviewing the most common shopping cart systems used on WordPress websites. We explore when you should choose a WordPress shopping cart plugin (such as WooCommerce) and when you would choose another type of cart (such as, a hosted cart solution).

Then we discuss various WordPress cart plugins, leading up to a thorough review and demonstration of the recommended solution, WooCommerce.

Then we proceed towards mastery of WooCommerce, as follows:

The Quick Start Section shows you all the basics: shop page layouts and shortcodes, adding products and images, the checkout process for digital downloads and shippable products, PayPal configuration, and more. We also discuss the themes that will work best.

The Reference Section goes into more detail, including the advanced products types & shipping methods, taxes and tax classes, coupons, order & inventory management, product reviews and more.

And finally the WooCommerce Styling and Programming Section provides more advanced information (some of it for programmers, but presented for a non-programming audience) on creating your own email templates, working with Actions and Hooks, and CSS styling of your site.

This is the most comprehensive, impactful and to-the-point WordPress eCommerce course on the web. Why? Because:

  1. We only show you what you need to know. WooCommerce leads the other WordPress shopping carts by a wide margin. There is rarely any need to choose another shopping cart plugin (except for simple PayPal sites, which we cover as well). So why waste your time?
  2. The videos are quite comprehensive -- for instance we show you the exact steps to take to configure PayPal to properly accept your digital download orders.
  3. Our professionally-produced videos get to the point. We will save you hours of research and trial & error.

This is one of WP Academy's most recent and best courses. We hope you enjoy it. It is part of a larger effort called the WordPress Business Encyclopedia , which is a complete web technology training system.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
