Luis Vargas Hey Luis, I don't know of one specifically but I wouldn't be surprised if Woo Themes had an extension available for doing something of the sort. You can contact woo themes via email or browse the extensions here: www.woothemes.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/
Hello Josh, Thanks a lot your Video is very informative and easy to follow. I have order Baby plan about 16 hours ago and i have go through all steps by video, I have installed word press, they have sent me the domin name: Congratulations! Your installation is ready. You can access it now by going to afghanonlinebazar.com/ . when I am clicking the the link it says "This webpage is not available" will it take few days? i have been waiting for 16 hours. Thanks
Pamela Northcott Pamela, thank you so much for such kind compliments! I'm so glad to hear that you were able to make a site while following along with the video and I wish you the very best with it!
I would like to express my deepest, sincere thanks for giving those of us who are just learning to build websites. clear and precise instructions. You are the best.
I just finished my first WEB site for my wife using your tutorial. It was spot on! I watched the whole thing through the first time, then sat down and followed along step by step. It was really cool to see my site come together, even though I obviously had a different product line to enter it was just great to see it take shape. I strongly recommend this video to anyone thinking of learning WEB building. Now I also understand how to add, delete, maintain and generally keep a WEB site operational, something I never really understood when we had some WEB Master build for us before. GREAT JOB! I want to watch your other works too. Got the learning bug!
Ernie, that is awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I really appreciate your compliments! I'm also so glad to hear that you got your first website created! I wish you and your wife the best!
This video has helped me create a complete, fully functional Ecommerce web site in just 2 days. Thank you so much!!! I will always seek your videos over all others.
Thank you so much. I was losing the will to live until I found your video. I can believe I have created a website only following your video. You are a star!
This is the best video I have come across that covers everything from start to end in making an online store. No useless chit chat or time wasting on things that did not matter and nothing has been skipped at the same time. I loved the explanations on why you were doing what you were doing and then quickly showing us the results instead making large changes and then showing us the front end at the end. I had feared that this would be something I would not understand as I am quite new to Wordpress. But after watching this video, that fear was removed thanks to you and I feel much much confident in building my online store now. I understood everything you did. You speak really fast and continuously so it kept me on my toes and interested in what you were saying. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and specifically mention your detailed thoughts about what you enjoyed. I'm so glad you found the video and that it was helpful to you! You are most welcome and I wish you the very best.
I have been working on setting up a web site for 4-5 days with no luck in figuring out how to accomplish it . I actually had chose the Theme you used in the demo. it is 1:20 am now and I just got unglued from the monitor watching this dynamite UA-cam that solves my dilemma!! Thank you sooo veeery much
Very thorough video on setting up a WordPress eCommerce website. I have never set up an eCommerce website but after watching this very thorough video I feel that I could do so.
I'm beginners in wordpress and your tutorials i think covers most of the functionality to build nice ecommerce website using wordpress. Keep it up buddy
You are a very polish and pleasant speaker, very articulate. Should be on media tv. I must agree with many others, Best You tube Tutorial. Very few people speak and teach as well as you do! Thanks for video!
I have spent hour watching videos and i dreaded the idea of watching one more that i would not understand - But you are the best by far thanks you so much you have saved me thousands of dollars. You are and excellent teacher.
This video has helped me out immensely, I thought there was a lot of expertise required to start up a eCommerce website, but you've shown me that anyone with just a few hours of time can do it. Thank you, you do good work, sir!
As far as I am concerned, this is the most comprehensive and awesome e-commerce video I have EVER seen. Thank you so much. I was beginning to think that making this type of detailed website was out of my league. Fortunately, you proved me wrong. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have taken so much stress off of my shoulders! For days I stressed so much about this because I had no clue where to even start. Your video was very easy to follow and it was exactly what I needed for my business. I will subscribe to support you. Thank you so so very much again!
I rarely comment on videos, but since you took your time to make this I will!!! This really helped me out , Im starting my company in a country where is not common to have e-commerce sites and everybody told me it was going to be really expensive... now all of the sudden thanks to your video I was able to develop my site by my own!!! Im really thankful.... Keep it up!
Marcelo Arauz Marcelo, that is awesome to hear! I'm so glad you found my video and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I wish you the very best with your new online store!
Your ability to teach is amazing. I have tried to learn wp off and on for over a year. Other videos would leave a simple step out or the theme would not do what the video claimed. Yours was spot on! GREAT job. Thank you
WoW! I've been building website w/WordPress since 2010 and haven't yet built a full eCommerce website myself. Didn't realize that WooCommerce was so powerful, gives you tons and tons of eCommerce options. Will be building my first WordPress eCommerce website in the near future, this video brought a lot of clarity. Thanks!
Great tutorial. I am working on my first ecommerce site and I used this tutorial to build it. I have all the basics done and I am just adding products. I wouldn't have been able to do it without this tutorial. Thanks so much!!
Found this video extremely useful! New to Wordpress and spent 3 days trying to get my head around it, now I have watched your video, I feel 100% more confident. Thank You so much :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I went through numerous videos before I found yours and I will have to say, yours is one of the best I've seen. Very thorough, easy to understand and follow for beginners like myself. I've been trying to figure this out for the past 30 days! And you pretty much covered everything in under 3 hours! Thank you!
Blessing to you wpSculptor, I had to build an e-commerce site for a gospel production where the "real/hired" web dude went MIA. I was able build it in WordPress in less than 24 hours with the guidance of your well constructed video. Thanks.
Hey Josh! AWESOME tutorial! Wow - you went through everything step-by-step VERY clearly! It was real easy to follow along. Also, I really appreciate the wonderful resources you make us aware of, and I learn how to use them just by watching you use them - kind of like looking over your shoulder. You're a great teacher. Thanks for the tutorial! :-)
Josh, you are the man! This may be the single most helpful UA-cam tutorial I have ever seen! And that is no exaggeration! I never imagined that it could be so easy to put together a professional looking ecommerce website. All of the basics were covered and you mentioned several helpful websites (such as pixabay) along the way. I was apprehensive about putting together my website and now I'm so excited I want to build one for everyone I know. Can't thank you enough!
Nikifor Ten Hey there, to delete the cart and checkout page from your menu, setup a custom menu by going to "appearance", "menus" create a menu and assign it to your main navigation like I demo in the video. If you've already done that, just go to the same place and remove those pages from the menu and save. As far as using another language, there are plugins available such as: wpml.org/ I've never used it but it may be an option for you. Also, you might check out the woocommerce extensions for some possible solutions here: www.woothemes.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/
Truly Excellent. I followed your tutorial as I was doing my own site. Watching your marvellous video has given me so much insight and knowledge about wordpress and what I can do with this. I am now a keen subscriber. Keep up the great work
wpSculptor Thank you so much for all the effort. I followed each step and I now have a lovely eCommerce website. Thank you sir. Much appreciated. Much love from South Africa.
Holy cow! This was an amazing tutorial. I was completely new to WordPress. Now I feel like I can get around pretty well. The tutorial actually went beyond the stated scope and delved into logo design. GREAT TUTORIAL!!!
uthaya kumaran Krishnan Hey uthaya, I responded to someone with a similar question with this: When you go to "mystile", "theme options", "homepage", "featured image" click on "upload image" and find the file on your computer. Then, click on "edit image" scroll down towards the bottom where your image is showing fairly largly and click on it, hold, and drag your mouse accross the image and select the part you want to crop. Then, with the correct part selected, click on the crop icon which should be to the far upper left of your image right above it. Then, click on "save right beneath the image and scroll down and click on "use featured image" towards the bottom and save the change in your settings area. Hopefully that well help you resize it.
Hey Josh, Just wanted to say thank you!! Your tutorial was just perfect. I looked at many other tutorials, and yours was by far the best!! Your video was calm, simple, and allowed me to build a beautiful ecommerce website. What a great learning experience, thanks for being a great teacher!!
Hey Josh - This has literally saved me days of time!! I had to buy the Dynamic Pricing add on to woocommerce to get my pricing structure to work correctly, however you have helped no end! Once the site is fully up and running I will mail you so you can take a look! I am amazed how technology has moved on since I used to create websites in 1995!!
Rob, I'm so happy to hear about your new site and the progress you have made! Also glad to hear that the video was helpful. You are most welcome and I wish you the best of luck!
I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for this step-by-step video tutorial. I have successfully setup my online store by just watching your video. You have highlighted very important note to remove one plugin to make the Cart working. Prior watching your video I follow others video to setup my store & the cart was malfunction. No matter how fancy my site is, if the cart fails I cannot start my business at all. Thanks god I found your video. I can do my business online now ! In addition the timestamps you included are so helpful that I can jump to / replay any topic easily. Thanks so much for the works. I appreciated this very much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know all of that Anita! I really really appreciate your kind words and I am so happy to hear that you got your site up and running! I'm with you, an eCommerce site with a malfunctioning shopping cart just doesn't cut it!
Your video session is so smooth, structured and interesting, anyone would leave everything aside and jump into building a eCommerce site. Awesome presentation - keeping the thread of thought intact and gradually getting deeper into advanced level. I was in a kind of confusion which Open Source Software to adopt for building an eCommerce site, but after going through your session, I'm all convinced to go for WordPress and WooCommerce. Thanks!
Anupam Basu Anupam, thank you so much! I really appreciate such a fine compliment. You are very welcome and I wish you the very best with your new ecommerce site!
This is a wonderful tutorial! I've been meaning to start an online shop and I'm so lucky that this was the first tutorial I found because it seems perfect and very easy to follow. I honestly can't wait to get started. Also, thanks for including so many other useful sites as well!
I have been writing code since my first line in about 1976. I've created websites going back to exe in cgibin and many variations since. And today I'm creating an online store with WP, Woo stuff, and your video. WOW!!! Looking back...I don't want to go there again. This is marvelously easy after your video cleared the fog. WOW!
WOW!!! Thank you for this tutorial wpSculptor...Concise, precise, straight to the point. Everything was clear and understandable. Keep up the AWESOME work man. Impressive. Thank you :-)
Hey there, I noticed at 1:48:00 when you are talking about that orange color. You actually can go in to the theme stylesheet and choose the color that you want for your bars and dropdowns etc.
Thank you so much for this excellent video. It has been very helpful and informative. I just starting creating my eCommerce website just by following your steps.
Well done video. I am just exploring web development, particulary WordPress and e-commerce, so I would like to review selected portions of your video to rehearse what you are explaining. With that in mind, I would suggest that you have link to various topical areas so that a viewer can jump to that area. This is particularly valuable because of the length of the video. Optionally, you could make each area a separate video. I enjoyed your video. Thanks. Jerry
Jerry Hicks Thank you so much Jerry! If you click on the "show more" tab beneath the video on the youtube watch page, you can see a "table of contents" with clickable time stamps to the various sections of the video. Several others have echoed your thoughts so I will definitely start promoting the time stamps more directly for future videos. Thank you for your input!
Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful guide. I have been trying to create my own website using Wordpress for a long time. Your video with detailed step by step guide has helped me a lot. Thanks..
+keystring **SHIPPING OPTIONS UPDATE** I think you need to adjust your comment settings on your youtube account for me to reply directly to your comment but to answer your question about shipping costs, you can try using the "international flat rate" shipping option by enabling, changing the title to "expeditated" or whatever you want and then setting it to selected countries and then just choose the country or countries you do business in and add the cost. You can also try using the "local delivery" shipping option for a third method. You can try adjusting the thumbnail settings by going to "woocommerce" "settings" "products" "display" and scroll down and change the dimensions and then run the "regenerate thumbnails plugin". You would probably need a different theme that had the product categories always display by default.
Hey Josh, Great video. I always watch a "how to" once to get the big picture, before creating. After watching yours, I'm really psyched to start building. I have a lot of experience with Wordpress, but this is my first Woothemes. I'm sure I'll be reaching out to you over the next couple days with a few questions. Thanks for your vids. Jeff
Wow! What an amazing training! I have been gotten training from a lot of folks on UA-cam but there is NO DOUBT this is the absolute best! Big Thanks for this amazing training!
I want to thank you for a job very well done!! I used this tutorial to built my commerce Webpage an it works just beautiful. I follow you step by step and everything came exactly as you explained it. I'm very happy with the format and I saved a lot of aggravation and money by doing it myself. Thank you again and you are a great instructor!!!
Super excited to find this video to help me start my website for my small business. I have taken pages of notes. Hope to have it up and running next week. Thanks a ton. I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching some of your other videos too.
roy siks Hey Roy, I'm not sure what is going on with your first server but usually a 404 error would mean your permalinks may need to be adjusted. I would delete your pages and recreate them to see if that works but when you create a page using the visual editor, right above the visual editor below the page title should be a "permalink" make sure when you are trying to access your page on the front end, you're url needs to be that same permalink. If it isn't, you need to recreate your menus with the correct page/URL.
Great video!! It's a bit long but I understand that it takes time to cover everything. I've recently had a need to use woocommerce and this really save some time on the learning curve. Thanks for your work.
Hey Josh, I must have misted the mystyle in your video, but have found it now and installed it. Thanks and keep up the good work, we need guys like you on You tube
great video :-) I was a complete novice on wordpress and woocommerce, but with your help I feel a lot more confident now. I had a few issues following along (but nothing major) due to the fact that wordpress had been updated since you made the video, and some of the areas had change compared to the one you used. But I got there eventually. Keep up the good work and I'll look forward to you continued videos :-)
thanks for creating ecommerce store video quite helpful., every one should watch this video if they are really looking for to create their own online store, Thanks again WP
+prabh singh hey there, you could do that by changing your home page settings to display a static page instead of "latest posts" and then create a page called "home" and choose that page as your home page in those settings. Then you can use a slideshow plugin such as meta slider lite and add it to your home page using a shortcode. The only problem is that you would no longer have access the featured banner and the featured products wouldn't appear on your home page unless you added them to your home page using a shortcode.
@Kids With Kardboard You are very welcome. I think it works great on mobile devices. You can view the demo site by going to market.quickwebsitecreation.com/ on your phone and see what you think.

That is so great to hear! I really appreciate you letting me know and I wish you the best!
Hey Josh! AWESOME tutorial! Wow - you went through everything step-by-step VERY clearly! It was real easy to follow along. Also, I really appreciate the wonderful resources you make us aware of, and I learn how to use them just by watching you use them - kind of like looking over your shoulder. You're a great teacher. Thanks for the tutorial! :-)
Thank you so much Shade! You are awesome!
Josh, you are the man! This may be the single most helpful UA-cam tutorial I have ever seen! And that is no exaggeration! I never imagined that it could be so easy to put together a professional looking ecommerce website. All of the basics were covered and you mentioned several helpful websites (such as pixabay) along the way. I was apprehensive about putting together my website and now I'm so excited I want to build one for everyone I know. Can't thank you enough!
Lucy, I so appreciate your kind words, it means so much to me that you said those things! I wish you the absolute best with your new site!
Nikifor Ten Hey there, to delete the cart and checkout page from your menu, setup a custom menu by going to "appearance", "menus" create a menu and assign it to your main navigation like I demo in the video. If you've already done that, just go to the same place and remove those pages from the menu and save. As far as using another language, there are plugins available such as: wpml.org/ I've never used it but it may be an option for you. Also, you might check out the woocommerce extensions for some possible solutions here: www.woothemes.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/
This is the best WordPress website builder that I never see. I learnt a lot.
Truly Excellent. I followed your tutorial as I was doing my own site. Watching your marvellous video has given me so much insight and knowledge about wordpress and what I can do with this. I am now a keen subscriber. Keep up the great work
wpSculptor

Haha thanks Ronnie! I appreciate that!
Thank you Josh, you have no idea just how much this video tutorial helped me!
Holy cow! This was an amazing tutorial. I was completely new to WordPress. Now I feel like I can get around pretty well. The tutorial actually went beyond the stated scope and delved into logo design. GREAT TUTORIAL!!!
Keith, you're the man. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Awesome Yinka! Thank you so much for letting me know!
uthaya kumaran Krishnan Hey uthaya, I responded to someone with a similar question with this:
When you go to "mystile", "theme options", "homepage", "featured image" click on "upload image" and find the file on your computer. Then, click on "edit image" scroll down towards the bottom where your image is showing fairly largly and click on it, hold, and drag your mouse accross the image and select the part you want to crop. Then, with the correct part selected, click on the crop icon which should be to the far upper left of your image right above it. Then, click on "save right beneath the image and scroll down and click on "use featured image" towards the bottom and save the change in your settings area.
Hopefully that well help you resize it.
Awesome tutorial Josh. Thanks for taking the time to give ALL the details.
Thanks! You are most welcome.
Hey Josh, Just wanted to say thank you!! Your tutorial was just perfect. I looked at many other tutorials, and yours was by far the best!! Your video was calm, simple, and allowed me to build a beautiful ecommerce website. What a great learning experience, thanks for being a great teacher!!

+C Charley Charley, you are awesome! Thank you so much for that amazing comment!
Hey Josh - This has literally saved me days of time!! I had to buy the Dynamic Pricing add on to woocommerce to get my pricing structure to work correctly, however you have helped no end! Once the site is fully up and running I will mail you so you can take a look! I am amazed how technology has moved on since I used to create websites in 1995!!
Rob, I'm so happy to hear about your new site and the progress you have made! Also glad to hear that the video was helpful. You are most welcome and I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks, I have found this very helpful. I am having a bit of trouble but I could not have gotten this far without your help.

ausweld1 Thank you so much! I really appreciate that wonderful compliment!
I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for this step-by-step video tutorial. I have successfully setup my online store by just watching your video. You have highlighted very important note to remove one plugin to make the Cart working. Prior watching your video I follow others video to setup my store & the cart was malfunction. No matter how fancy my site is, if the cart fails I cannot start my business at all. Thanks god I found your video. I can do my business online now !
In addition the timestamps you included are so helpful that I can jump to / replay any topic easily. Thanks so much for the works. I appreciated this very much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know all of that Anita! I really really appreciate your kind words and I am so happy to hear that you got your site up and running! I'm with you, an eCommerce site with a malfunctioning shopping cart just doesn't cut it!
Your video session is so smooth, structured and interesting, anyone would leave everything aside and jump into building a eCommerce site. Awesome presentation - keeping the thread of thought intact and gradually getting deeper into advanced level. I was in a kind of confusion which Open Source Software to adopt for building an eCommerce site, but after going through your session, I'm all convinced to go for WordPress and WooCommerce. Thanks!
Anupam Basu Anupam, thank you so much! I really appreciate such a fine compliment. You are very welcome and I wish you the very best with your new ecommerce site!

I have been writing code since my first line in about 1976. I've created websites going back to exe in cgibin and many variations since. And today I'm creating an online store with WP, Woo stuff, and your video. WOW!!! Looking back...I don't want to go there again. This is marvelously easy after your video cleared the fog. WOW!

Hey there,
I noticed at 1:48:00 when you are talking about that orange color. You actually can go in to the theme stylesheet and choose the color that you want for your bars and dropdowns etc.
Thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!

Thank you so much, i've been trying all month to figure the store part. thank you thank you thank you. can't wait to get started
You are very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Well done video. I am just exploring web development, particulary WordPress and e-commerce, so I would like to review selected portions of your video to rehearse what you are explaining. With that in mind, I would suggest that you have link to various topical areas so that a viewer can jump to that area. This is particularly valuable because of the length of the video. Optionally, you could make each area a separate video. I enjoyed your video. Thanks. Jerry
Jerry Hicks Thank you so much Jerry! If you click on the "show more" tab beneath the video on the youtube watch page, you can see a "table of contents" with clickable time stamps to the various sections of the video. Several others have echoed your thoughts so I will definitely start promoting the time stamps more directly for future videos. Thank you for your input!
Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful guide. I have been trying to create my own website using Wordpress for a long time. Your video with detailed step by step guide has helped me a lot. Thanks..
Awesome Soumitra, you are very welcome!
Incredibly useful tutorial. Masterclass

+Aki'Ra halera Yashiro You are very welcome and that is so great to hear!

Thanks Ivo, you're very welcome!
very thorough tut vid. almost all you need to know about wp ecommerce is in this video
Thanks Sanjok, I'm glad you found it helpful!
+keystring **SHIPPING OPTIONS UPDATE** I think you need to adjust your comment settings on your youtube account for me to reply directly to your comment but to answer your question about shipping costs, you can try using the "international flat rate" shipping option by enabling, changing the title to "expeditated" or whatever you want and then setting it to selected countries and then just choose the country or countries you do business in and add the cost. You can also try using the "local delivery" shipping option for a third method.
You can try adjusting the thumbnail settings by going to "woocommerce" "settings" "products" "display" and scroll down and change the dimensions and then run the "regenerate thumbnails plugin".
You would probably need a different theme that had the product categories always display by default.
Hey Josh,
Great video. I always watch a "how to" once to get the big picture, before creating. After watching yours, I'm really psyched to start building. I have a lot of experience with Wordpress, but this is my first Woothemes. I'm sure I'll be reaching out to you over the next couple days with a few questions. Thanks for your vids.
Jeff
Hey Jeff thanks a lot, I'm glad you're excited you get started! You are very welcome!

Hey Bonnie, you are very welcome! I'm so glad you found the video and have subscribed. Definitely stay tuned for future videos!
Thank you! Easy to follow and understand, plus you have a nice voice.
Thank you so much Ruth, you are very welcome!
roy siks Hey Roy, I'm not sure what is going on with your first server but usually a 404 error would mean your permalinks may need to be adjusted. I would delete your pages and recreate them to see if that works but when you create a page using the visual editor, right above the visual editor below the page title should be a "permalink" make sure when you are trying to access your page on the front end, you're url needs to be that same permalink. If it isn't, you need to recreate your menus with the correct page/URL.
Great video!! It's a bit long but I understand that it takes time to cover everything. I've recently had a need to use woocommerce and this really save some time on the learning curve. Thanks for your work.
+Bob Thomason Thanks Bob, I appreciate you letting me know!
+wpSculptor Keep up the good work. It helps. If you haven't already, do one on woo's shortcodes. I'm having problems with that now.
Great video! It was a huge help setting adding woocommerce to my blog site. Thanks for posting it.
+Robert Grant Thanks Robert! I'm so glad to hear that and you are very welcome!

This video was extremely informative and easy to follow.
+Sandy Laughing Thank you so much Sandy!
great video :-)
I was a complete novice on wordpress and woocommerce, but with your help I feel a lot more confident now. I had a few issues following along (but nothing major) due to the fact that wordpress had been updated since you made the video, and some of the areas had change compared to the one you used. But I got there eventually. Keep up the good work and I'll look forward to you continued videos :-)
Thanks Zane, I appreciate you commenting and letting me know!
This video was a game changer for me. I am eternally grateful to you! Thank you so much.
KatariDreamCC I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you very much for letting me know and you are very welcome!

Hi Josh, thanks for making this very informative video! I'm about to have a go and create my first e-commerce site on your guidance...Wish me luck.
You are very welcome! I wish you the best of luck!
thanks for creating ecommerce store video quite helpful., every one should watch this video if they are really looking for to create their own online store, Thanks again WP
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
+prabh singh hey there, you could do that by changing your home page settings to display a static page instead of "latest posts" and then create a page called "home" and choose that page as your home page in those settings. Then you can use a slideshow plugin such as meta slider lite and add it to your home page using a shortcode. The only problem is that you would no longer have access the featured banner and the featured products wouldn't appear on your home page unless you added them to your home page using a shortcode.
@Kids With Kardboard
