When the student is ready the master appears. You are a god-sent guru for me to get my online business operating. I have spent many days looking for this exact information. I have watched many of your videos on themes, website page builders and others. Each one is so well explained even I, at 67 years young and know a some things about WordPress, can understand everything you talk about. Most importantly, I can do it myself. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to create these videos.
Thank you so much for sharing this Pattie! I always try my best to think through how I can explain something and present something in as easy to understand terms as possible so that it no longer is work.
I have been through dozens and dozens of wordpress and woocommerce tutorials and yours is hands down the best! It is easy and you break it down so well! Thank you so so so much!!!!
Brian Coghlan Adam, always enjoy your instructional videos and your Face Book group. Through you I have Astra theme and Elementor - on every website. The two of these are an unstoppable combination I have found. I enjoy using them both. They make it so easy. Thank you
Thanks Adam. Easy to follow ecommerce cost free build out. Looking forward also though to your full tutorial coming up in a couple of weeks. Cheers, DM
Great video - just to confirm what you said at minute 9.28 - it is REQUIRED and JetPack will be installed if I use Astra + the WooCommerce - correct? I do not want to use JetPack, so must I use a different theme to use Woo? Thanks.
It should drop next week. And then after that a full tutorial on building an eCommerce website beginning to end. I am excited to start hitting eCommerce hard.
Again, this another great video of yours. I was looking for a video with this title, and in it, you provide a very useful lesson on how to set an E-commerce website using WooCommerce with Astra.
Thank you for this quick-to-the-point video! It was just what I needed to help me not drag my feet! I'm about to move my weebly site to be a wordpress site. Now I know I can!
This is one of my faves! I've really impressed my friends and bizz partner with all the "tech stuff" I have learned from your videos .....especially the SSL certifcates. Thank You for all the hard work you put into them.
This has been incredibly helpful and inspirational to me. I feel really confident moving forward now, and I'm very grateful to you for that. Thank you!
Hi, excellent Video, congratulations. I bought this week astraPro an elementor, I am starting a new website in wordpress for my company and this woocommerce plugin would help a lot, as I have Pro and Elementor I do not know if I expect or I will be able to use another plugin to customize WC pages. I appreciate your opinion
Yes if you want to customize the product pages, and about a month Elementor is going to come out with an update to allow you to style those product pages. It's going to be a big deal and you'll see lots of videos on my channel. Also Astra has a pro extension for WooCommerce that is available in your downloads area, it is still in beta but should be finalized soon.
I love your videos, but i have a doubt about installing a lot of plug ins packages. Do they slow down your website when you have a lot of plugging and request going at once? Thank you in Advanced You are really good I have been learning a lot with you.
i love the video enjoying Astra theme is very good. The WooCommerce having problems with products is there any think you can suggest about feature image for product to reduce size
You have a new subscriber thanks very much, I just have one question, your images when you hover over it shows back and front images, did you use a plugin for that, can you please help, it loos great if displayed like that. Thanks very much
enjoy your video. currently using jigoshop and vantage theme . can i replace jigoshop with woocommerce without remove my current themes or can i have two shop on one website until i finish woo commerce
Great video, I learned a lot from it and it answered many of my questions. The one question that I have is how are affiliate products set up and managed in WooCommerce? I have the pro versions of Astra and Elementor. I am very new at all this so thank you so much for your informational videos. I am looking forward to watching the full video versions that you mentioned. Lonney C. Smith
Hey crafter you are doing such a great work, thank you so much! Would you please advise whether a woocommerce store be set up on a different domain / extension of a domain rather than on the main website which has blogs and all. does it affect the speed and the securuty of the website?
Great tutorial yet again, really looking forward to the full ecommerce build. Would love to see full tut using astra with elementor and woocommerce, changing single product layout and product search page etc. Thanks again!
Yes Elementor Pro will have an update in 2 months that will allow you to create WooCommerce layouts. It's going to be amazing. I will have a ton of training around it.
Another great video Adam! Thank you so much for sharing this information. Do you recommend that we make a child theme when going though this process? Thanks again!
I'll tell you that the dependency on it child theme is becoming less and less. It is always a good best practice and you can download the Astra child theme on the Astra website.
Sample data for WooCommerce is located in a file called either sample-products.csv or sample-products.xml, which are located in the WooCommerce plugin folder in woocommerce/sample-data/.
I absolutely love your work! I am having a minor issue, when installing the website, it is taking forever to do so. So far 30 minutes in. I have restarted but nothing has changed. I am not trying another site but the same issue persist. And tips?
Awesome video! I do have a question, did WooComm update their plugin. After I press activate, it DOES NOT take me to the onboarding process you go through as you lea the tutorial. It just defults to the list of plugins I have available and even when I click account on the WooCommerce plugin it only asks about my address, currency and tax information. Theres no similar process showing for me. Thanks in advance!
Awesome Vid - really cant wait for the woo vid - a lot of people need that one. So is there any solution yet for global post and products other than AE Pro? I see Astra is now compatible...so Astra or Storefront for Ecommerce? pros and cons?
Right now Astra is really where it's at for WooCommerce, especially if you have seen the beta version of their Pro add-on for WooCommerce. Also when you factor in Elementor will be able to design product pages, it's going to be a pretty lethal combination really soon.
This is very helpful! I am creating a single webpage for a raffle and would like to add the woocommerce function and product to the home page, how would I go about doing that?
Hi, again -- what a great tutorial ! but can you answer the question of whether it is possible to convert this to an Amazon site sans the plugin. I don't know how to get from demo data to adding Amazon products manually the free way. I'd be grateful for a reply...
Yes, you can use WooCommerce to drop ship, or have Amazon affiliate links for the products. So if someone clicks buy, it takes them over to Amazon. There must be a scraper and importer available, I haven't done the research. This would make it a lot easier to get products imported.
Had the same issue. Go to Dashboard / Appearance / Customize / Header / Primary Menu. In -Last Item in Menu dropdown- choose WooCommerce. The cart icon will magically appear.
hey adam. love the tuts but for me also the Shop wasn't showing and also i couldn't see where it was in the Customize section. So I dug into woo and found it! perhaps this will help others; Goto the Woocommerce section and click on Status, then select Tools from the 3 tabs available, you need to scroll down a bit to where it says "Create default WooCommerce pages" and then click the click the "Create Pages". When thats done go back to Appearance - Menus and you will see the "Shop" page there for you to add to your main menu. I hope you are ok with me pointing that out Adam because the Shop doesnt show on the Customizer. Obviously the shop is empty because we dont have your xml file but at least its there now :) thank you for your great tutorials :)
Thank you very much for pointing this out Dave. After the great tutorial from Adam, this small piece of information was just pricking but you sorted it out. Thanks again.
Thanks Dave, for providing the missing information as u said inside the status option and tools i got the create pages options and all woo commerce pages have been created . Also after installing the woo commerce the iitial setup didn't run for me. Can you provide info on that maybe. Thanks in advance.
hello, I'm new to your channel and so far I'm loving the content. I have one question tho, If I were to design an eCommerce website for a client, is the method proposed in this video better than creating the whole thing from the ground up using elementor pro
Adam, this is a great video. Thank you. Do you have any instructions for someone that doesn't have a list of products to import? I will be adding products one-by-one. The products will each have two sizes and two prices. I would like to sell worldwide. Shipping in the US I can handle. How can I allow someone in another country to order, but shipping prices would have to be adjusted accordingly. Any suggestions. Thanks again.
Hey Adam, thank you for being You :) I would like to ask... What is the best approach to having an email marketing automation like Mautic that integrates with ConvertPro and the most important WooCommerce store so we can get better insights about what customers purchased so we can build powerful targeted campaigns? Big Thanks!
There is an extension for Convert Pro to integrate with Mautic. I would send Convert Pro an email asking them if you can Beta test the automate plus WooCommerce to Mautic integration. They built it about a year ago and never released it, I am using it on my website.
Hi. Firstly thank you for the free content it really matters when you are only beginning and on a budget, highly appreciated! Second is my question regarding the alternative payment gateways as both Stripe and Square are not supported in my county and I would like to accept payment on my website, so what can I use? Any suggestions?
WooCommerce has a ton of payment gateways available. I'm sure if you did a quick Google search will see if some of your local gateways have WooCommerce integration.
@@WPCrafter thank you for your reply. I have found 2checkout as a potential gateway in the meantime but their fee's are extremely high 4.5% for reacquiring subscription processing. I only need a simple payment form that can accept a credit card.
Hey I love your videos and am following you step by step with Astra, Elementor and so forth. I installed and activated WooCommerce following along with you in the video. But it did not take me through the onboarding process you went through. I can't help but wonder what I did wrong. I have a few products, but mainly what I'm selling is Information, event tickets, and memberships. Will you be reviewing the membership plug-in?
Sorry that It didn't put you in the onboarding process. I know there is a way to start going through the onboarding process again. I think if you're in WooCommerce and then click on screen options in the top right it'll pull down a panel and you can trigger that again. Actually might not be screen options, it might be help.
I am also having the same issue, but when you click on set up wizard, it just gives me an error: Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page. New install wordpress using Astra theme, installed Woocommerce from WP. I have tried on two different servers with the same outcome. Followed your steps exactly. What am I missing?
Hi Adam, been loving all your videos. On the topic of how much you can do completely free... Seems you favor the Astra Pro theme as that's what you're using on your own site if I recall correctly. But can you recommend what's the best FREE theme for most folks, Astra vs GeneratePress (vs other?). Have you compared feature sets in a spreadsheet or anything (including what features can be added to each via thier free add-ons/plugins)? Interested in anything you could say on this, Thanks!
I have written reviews and comparisons of most themes, on my website. The reason you see me using Astra so much is that I do think it is the best theme for everyone. But you can read some of the discussions on my website.
Thanks for replying...I admit I usually find your videos directly on UA-cam and haven't spent as much time on your site directly (just a little bit here and there). Just found that last link "WordPress Product Comparisons" buried at the very bottom of your footer (talk about burying the lead ;) ) ...and WOW! I had no idea you'd done all these comparison posts for themes, builders, hosting, etc. Tons of juicy data there. Plus forums (discussions) which I haven't delved into but plan to as I can. I may have missed it but you should mention your comparisons section in your videos more, awesome stuff. I'll plug it right now for you :) Everyone check out Adam's WordPress Product Comparisons at www.wpcrafter.com/comparisons/
I'm glad you found it and I'm sorry I didn't give you a better idea of where they were. I'm going to do a better job of highlighting the reviews and comparisons more in the future. Right now they are very easily findable when you search in Google.
hey Adam thank you for the knowledge you share with us.........i am doing the research on the website which will be selling used goods, real estate and service............ please any tips will be helpful
Hey Adam! Thanks for this wonderful video. The presentation was amazing as always. Everything worked well for me except that I didn't get a shopping cart icon in my menu. Any idea what could've gone wrong? Thanks in advance!
Sorry to hear that you didn't get the cart icon. I do know that they changed how they implemented this and they have documentation over on the Astra Theme website.
In the Customizer, the cart icon is now found under the Primary Header section within in the Custom Menu Item dropdown. In that dropdown, choose WooCommerce then the cart icon will appear in your header.
I am following your ecom site setup in this video. I have woozone so will that be hard to integrate into this site after I am done? I am really new so forgive my lack of know how.
your videos couldnt come at a better time for me as I am curently working on a ecommerce site in astra pro. I look forward to the longer form woocommerce tutorial. where can I find a breakdown of what was added in that beta version of astra?
HI Adam, you are absolutely a wealth of knowledge and very helpful to me. I am having some issues with my credit card payments going through on my store. I have tested and found out that after customers put in their credit card info an error msg comes up and not able to go further to download the product because of an error msg i.e."Error occurred try another form of payment or try again later" The payment is showing up on my Braintree account as processing though. Woo commerce engineers have advised to activate storefront theme which I did ... and also to deactivate all plugins except Woo commerce and paypal Braintree etc. Tried doing the test same error. I am going to also try deactivating 1 plugin at a time to see what happens. Very time-consuming. Please help. Have my backups on Dropbox Thanks to you. I am also thinking of switching to the 2017 theme and see what happens. It was disappointing that after switching to the Storefront theme the same error occurred.
Hi Adam, very nice video, i will give it a try of astra theme, until now i use oceanwp, that it seems to be similar. I also noticed that you use instead of .dev the .local tld in your local machine, how did you do that?
Yes I use Local by flywheel. It's similar to DesktopServer in that it makes it really easy to install WordPress on your computer. It automaticall makes dev sites use .local for the url. And yes Astra is going to be simpler to use then OceanWP. Almost like it configures itself.
I think its only the new sites that I am adding. Also using PHP7.1. The reason they switched is, I think Google Chrome is making some changes and .dev will no longer work right. I could have that wrong, but I remember something like that.
You are right, Google anounced that the .dev will be characterized as non secure and Chrome didnt let me open one i had, in local, i was trying to find the solution and some forums where saying to change the .dev to .local but i didnt find how to do that. But suddenly the next day .dev was working fine. I use php 7.0 and i haven't install any new site to local but i will give it a try to see if everything is fine
Including premium themes or extension like Astra also offers it for WooCommerce, what do you think about the Storefront theme from Woocommerce itself? Regards and thanks, Julien
As always, a really good tutorial. Thank you. Is the more in depth version available as I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge, especially how to stop people ordering over a certain weight (i.e. I want customers to make multiple orders, but not exceed 30kg). Thanks again for creating this and other videos. Dave
hi Hamza again awesome video but please how can you allow users to import their product onto the website for selling?? and how to add payment methods on products
thank you for this video, it is really easy with Woocommerce.. it does not look that neat on my site though.. For some reason, Woocommerce just wants to show the categories at top, before the product pictures come... and I just cant find a way to get rid of them..and I cannot see the Cart which i did when I used a different theme. but sure, it has never been so easy and QUICK... Ill check out your other tutorial and might find the answer.
Hi Adam. Its now April 2020 so Astra/Elementor/WooCommerce/WP has changed. I have Astra Pro but I just can't figure out how to change the WooCommerce SHOP page unless I get Elementor Pro that includes Elementor Builder. Do you know if this is how this combo has evolved?
Hi, Adam. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are awesome! By the way, in this video you are using Astra theme. I wonder if can we create a shop with a theme that is basically non-Ecommerce theme?
Hi Adam, thanks for this tutorial. Please elaborate on how to import products from a file. It is very important. I am waiting for the video as you said.
Hi adam. All these things are free? And how to import and fulfill AliExpress dropshipping products? I want to quit Shopify, can't make payment monthly.
Hey Adam, I think there may be a few of us (or maybe just me) that doesn't know about producing xml imports with pictures that would allow us to massively import our products. There doesn't seem to be many videos on this for youtube in general either. Is there any way you can help?
lil question, in a previous video (might be a different yt channel, my memory is a bit foggy) you told us if you have an existing site and you have for example Theme A for this site. and you add woocommerce and give it the astra theme, does this mean the existing site gets the astra theme too, or do i need some special settings to seperate both of them (i want to add a small woocommerce page on my dad's already exsiting site, bees need more attention)
Hey Adam, thank you for this video. I have a q. How do you prepare a product sheet to import into this theme? What are the categories that you need to have?
Hi Great Video! Can I add "Opayo" gateway instead of the default stripe to Woocommerce for taking the online payments? as Opayo say they only charge flat rate £20.90 month with 350 transactions included, Does that really mean I will not have to pay any transaction fees % of each transaction? this is what I have told by an web designing agency.
In your video at about 12:48 you refer to taking the imported WordPress file from what looks (this is not so clear in the video) like the WooCommerce area in the Dashboard on the left column. But am looking there for that file to drag, move, and paste it in the “choose file” area on the right of the Dashboard of WordPress as you did. I downloaded the WordPress dummy file several times, but I cannot find it in the Dashboard under WooCommerce or underneath it. Can you please advise?
Brilliant thanks Adam. Have you done Astra theme woo commerce longer video yet? Love to go through it before purchasing. Might try this now instead of shopiy
Hi Adam, love your tutorials, I've learned and am learning so much. About to plunge into developing a shopping cart so wondering if the longer WooCommerce tutorial you mentioned is available. Can't seem to find it if it's been released. Love your method of explaining so hanging on!
Hi, I want to built a booking website, people must be able to book for example the tennis field from 10 to 11am, or book a tennis lesson with a specific teacher. Is this possible with what you teach in this tutorial?
When the student is ready the master appears. You are a god-sent guru for me to get my online business operating. I have spent many days looking for this exact information.

Great video - just to confirm what you said at minute 9.28 - it is REQUIRED and JetPack will be installed if I use Astra + the WooCommerce - correct? I do not want to use JetPack, so must I use a different theme to use Woo? Thanks.
WooCommerce recommends it but its not needed. Although if you need tax calculations, you need Jetpack.
Adam, This tutorial is awesome! Thank you so much for making it. I can't wait for your in-depth WooCommerce tutorial. You Rock!!!

Again, this another great video of yours. I was looking for a video with this title, and in it, you provide a very useful lesson on how to set an E-commerce website using WooCommerce with Astra.
You make it look so simple but the time is in the technical issues.

Another great video Adam! Thank you so much for sharing this information. Do you recommend that we make a child theme when going though this process? Thanks again!
I'll tell you that the dependency on it child theme is becoming less and less. It is always a good best practice and you can download the Astra child theme on the Astra website.
Watching this in 2020 and bro this is still useful!!! Great work man
Thank you so much, your videos are always on point and you walk us through step by step. Amazing work
hiii.. great tutorial...
where is this dump file located that you have imported..?
Yeah, may I have the link?
Sample data for WooCommerce is located in a file called either sample-products.csv or sample-products.xml, which are located in the WooCommerce plugin folder in woocommerce/sample-data/.
github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/sample-data
It's too easy, and it was an excellent tutorial, thanks.
I love all of your videos, thank you for being honest and keep the great work!
I absolutely love your work! I am having a minor issue, when installing the website, it is taking forever to do so. So far 30 minutes in. I have restarted but nothing has changed. I am not trying another site but the same issue persist. And tips?
excellent tutorial. you make it very easy to understand for non techie
Excellent tut - like always! Looking forward to join your full WooCommerce mission soon :-)
Yes it will be a focus of mine in January.
Awesome video! I do have a question, did WooComm update their plugin. After I press activate, it DOES NOT take me to the onboarding process you go through as you lea the tutorial. It just defults to the list of plugins I have available and even when I click account on the WooCommerce plugin it only asks about my address, currency and tax information.

A great and easy to do tutorial for a non tech guy!!
Thank you.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.
Need to ask one question, i am not getting the cart icon on right side.
Any ideas why?
Had the same issue. Go to Dashboard / Appearance / Customize / Header / Primary Menu.
In -Last Item in Menu dropdown- choose WooCommerce. The cart icon will magically appear.
-Last Item in Menu dropdown- crossed out is a typo. There will be a Last Item in Menu dropdown and select WooCommerce.
hey adam. love the tuts but for me also the Shop wasn't showing and also i couldn't see where it was in the Customize section. So I dug into woo and found it! perhaps this will help others;
Goto the Woocommerce section and click on Status, then select Tools from the 3 tabs available, you need to scroll down a bit to where it says "Create default WooCommerce pages" and then click the click the "Create Pages". When thats done go back to Appearance - Menus and you will see the "Shop" page there for you to add to your main menu. I hope you are ok with me pointing that out Adam because the Shop doesnt show on the Customizer. Obviously the shop is empty because we dont have your xml file but at least its there now :)
thank you for your great tutorials :)
Restored the website that it wasn't automatically linked up for you. The shop page?
thats correct. the shop page wasnt showing in the categories section to add to the main menu. (if thats what you mean?)
Thank you very much for pointing this out Dave. After the great tutorial from Adam, this small piece of information was just pricking but you sorted it out. Thanks again.
Thank you so much, I was stuck with this point !
Thanks Dave, for providing the missing information as u said inside the status option and tools i got the create pages options and all woo commerce pages have been created . Also after installing the woo commerce the iitial setup didn't run for me. Can you provide info on that maybe. Thanks in advance.

Excellent video...you are more than a big help but a blessing and helped me get starter right away....Great Teaching!
I'm glad this was helpful Eugene Miles and thanks for watching.
Hey Adam, thank you for being You :)
I would like to ask... What is the best approach to having an email marketing automation like Mautic that integrates with ConvertPro and the most important WooCommerce store so we can get better insights about what customers purchased so we can build powerful targeted campaigns? Big Thanks!
There is an extension for Convert Pro to integrate with Mautic. I would send Convert Pro an email asking them if you can Beta test the automate plus WooCommerce to Mautic integration. They built it about a year ago and never released it, I am using it on my website.
Hi. Firstly thank you for the free content it really matters when you are only beginning and on a budget, highly appreciated! Second is my question regarding the alternative payment gateways as both Stripe and Square are not supported in my county and I would like to accept payment on my website, so what can I use? Any suggestions?
WooCommerce has a ton of payment gateways available. I'm sure if you did a quick Google search will see if some of your local gateways have WooCommerce integration.
@@WPCrafter thank you for your reply. I have found 2checkout as a potential gateway in the meantime but their fee's are extremely high 4.5% for reacquiring subscription processing. I only need a simple payment form that can accept a credit card.
Thank you, Adam, great tutorial. How can I add a shop to an already existing WordPress website? Cheers
Hi Adam, do you have any tips to get a live preview for a personalized product on WordPress? thanks a lot
Hey I love your videos and am following you step by step with Astra, Elementor and so forth. I installed and activated WooCommerce following along with you in the video. But it did not take me through the onboarding process you went through. I can't help but wonder what I did wrong. I have a few products, but mainly what I'm selling is Information, event tickets, and memberships. Will you be reviewing the membership plug-in?
Sorry that It didn't put you in the onboarding process. I know there is a way to start going through the onboarding process again. I think if you're in WooCommerce and then click on screen options in the top right it'll pull down a panel and you can trigger that again. Actually might not be screen options, it might be help.
I am also having the same issue, but when you click on set up wizard, it just gives me an error: Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page. New install wordpress using Astra theme, installed Woocommerce from WP. I have tried on two different servers with the same outcome. Followed your steps exactly. What am I missing?
Also, I tried installing a different theme compatible with Woocommerce, that did not fix the issue either.
Hey Adam so it is help, then setup wizard BUT it then says sorry your not allowed to access this page. Any suggestions?
Hi Adam, been loving all your videos. On the topic of how much you can do completely free... Seems you favor the Astra Pro theme as that's what you're using on your own site if I recall correctly. But can you recommend what's the best FREE theme for most folks, Astra vs GeneratePress (vs other?). Have you compared feature sets in a spreadsheet or anything (including what features can be added to each via thier free add-ons/plugins)? Interested in anything you could say on this, Thanks!
I have written reviews and comparisons of most themes, on my website. The reason you see me using Astra so much is that I do think it is the best theme for everyone. But you can read some of the discussions on my website.
Thanks for replying...I admit I usually find your videos directly on UA-cam and haven't spent as much time on your site directly (just a little bit here and there). Just found that last link "WordPress Product Comparisons" buried at the very bottom of your footer (talk about burying the lead ;) ) ...and WOW! I had no idea you'd done all these comparison posts for themes, builders, hosting, etc. Tons of juicy data there. Plus forums (discussions) which I haven't delved into but plan to as I can. I may have missed it but you should mention your comparisons section in your videos more, awesome stuff. I'll plug it right now for you :) Everyone check out Adam's WordPress Product Comparisons at www.wpcrafter.com/comparisons/
I'm glad you found it and I'm sorry I didn't give you a better idea of where they were. I'm going to do a better job of highlighting the reviews and comparisons more in the future. Right now they are very easily findable when you search in Google.
hey Adam thank you for the knowledge you share with us.........i am doing the research on the website which will be selling used goods, real estate and service............ please any tips will be helpful
Hey Adam! Thanks for this wonderful video. The presentation was amazing as always.
Everything worked well for me except that I didn't get a shopping cart icon in my menu. Any idea what could've gone wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry to hear that you didn't get the cart icon. I do know that they changed how they implemented this and they have documentation over on the Astra Theme website.
Thanks so much for the response. I used a free plugin "WP Menu Cart" to serve the purpose and it worked perfectly :)
In the Customizer, the cart icon is now found under the Primary Header section within in the Custom Menu Item dropdown. In that dropdown, choose WooCommerce then the cart icon will appear in your header.
That's fantastic! Thanks a ton!!!

I am following your ecom site setup in this video. I have woozone so will that be hard to integrate into this site after I am done? I am really new so forgive my lack of know how.
Thank you for video. What is about security this site? Thank you in advance for a detail response.
Hey Adam, Do you know if WooCommerce allows you to give products a price of $0.00? Thanks for your help!
Adam you make a perfect Dr.Evil.. Thanks for your awesome vids
Hi Adam, which Wordpress plan do I need, can I just have the personal or do I need premium to add plugins?
thank you very much for this video , very useful as always. quick solution w/o much problems!
Happy to hear.
Thank you, Adam! Very informative video.
Your welcome.
Very nice,
Thanks Adam!
your videos couldnt come at a better time for me as I am curently working on a ecommerce site in astra pro. I look forward to the longer form woocommerce tutorial. where can I find a breakdown of what was added in that beta version of astra?
MenaceManTV it's in the blog on the Astra site. 😃
Yes its coming after Astra Theme is out of beta. Most likely the first week of January.
HI Adam, you are absolutely a wealth of knowledge and very helpful to me. I am having some issues with my credit card payments going through on my store. I have tested and found out that after customers put in their credit card info an error msg comes up and not able to go further to download the product because of an error msg i.e."Error occurred try another form of payment or try again later" The payment is showing up on my Braintree account as processing though. Woo commerce engineers have advised to activate storefront theme which I did ... and also to deactivate all plugins except Woo commerce and paypal Braintree etc. Tried doing the test same error. I am going to also try deactivating 1 plugin at a time to see what happens. Very time-consuming. Please help. Have my backups on Dropbox Thanks to you. I am also thinking of switching to the 2017 theme and see what happens. It was disappointing that after switching to the Storefront theme the same error occurred.
Amazing bro...is all about the way you explain things... great!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Hi Adam, very nice video, i will give it a try of astra theme, until now i use oceanwp, that it seems to be similar. I also noticed that you use instead of .dev the .local tld in your local machine, how did you do that?
Yes I use Local by flywheel. It's similar to DesktopServer in that it makes it really easy to install WordPress on your computer. It automaticall makes dev sites use .local for the url. And yes Astra is going to be simpler to use then OceanWP. Almost like it configures itself.
I also use local by flywheel but my urls are .dev not .local
I think its only the new sites that I am adding. Also using PHP7.1. The reason they switched is, I think Google Chrome is making some changes and .dev will no longer work right. I could have that wrong, but I remember something like that.
You are right, Google anounced that the .dev will be characterized as non secure and Chrome didnt let me open one i had, in local, i was trying to find the solution and some forums where saying to change the .dev to .local but i didnt find how to do that. But suddenly the next day .dev was working fine. I use php 7.0 and i haven't install any new site to local but i will give it a try to see if everything is fine
Including premium themes or extension like Astra also offers it for WooCommerce, what do you think about the Storefront theme from Woocommerce itself? Regards and thanks, Julien
The Storefront theme is not that good. Also it is VERY expensive since every little thing is sold separately.
Thanks Adam, really helpfull. Flatsome, Max Shop, Vitrine and other themes from Themeforest I stumbled across, how would you rate them?
Also, would you recommend using Elementor for creating Woocommerce websites?
As always, a really good tutorial. Thank you. Is the more in depth version available as I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge, especially how to stop people ordering over a certain weight (i.e. I want customers to make multiple orders, but not exceed 30kg). Thanks again for creating this and other videos. Dave
Hi Adam, I was wondering if you have used alidropship
and if you know if it works with betheme?
You never let me down 👊🏼🤗
hi Hamza again awesome video but please how can you allow users to import their product onto the website for selling??
and how to add payment methods on products
thank you for this video, it is really easy with Woocommerce.. it does not look that neat on my site though.. For some reason, Woocommerce just wants to show the categories at top, before the product pictures come... and I just cant find a way to get rid of them..and I cannot see the Cart which i did when I used a different theme. but sure, it has never been so easy and QUICK... Ill check out your other tutorial and might find the answer.
Hi Adam. Its now April 2020 so Astra/Elementor/WooCommerce/WP has changed. I have Astra Pro but I just can't figure out how to change the WooCommerce SHOP page unless I get Elementor Pro that includes Elementor Builder. Do you know if this is how this combo has evolved?
Man... you're the best!
Hi, Adam. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are awesome! By the way, in this video you are using Astra theme. I wonder if can we create a shop with a theme that is basically non-Ecommerce theme?
Thank you so so so much.
how can we change products photos in the theme to photos of my products??
Hi Adam, thanks for this tutorial. Please elaborate on how to import products from a file. It is very important. I am waiting for the video as you said.
Hi adam. All these things are free? And how to import and fulfill AliExpress dropshipping products? I want to quit Shopify, can't make payment monthly.
Hey Adam, I think there may be a few of us (or maybe just me) that doesn't know about producing xml imports with pictures that would allow us to massively import our products. There doesn't seem to be many videos on this for youtube in general either. Is there any way you can help?
perfect tutorials... Thumbs Up !!!
lil question, in a previous video (might be a different yt channel, my memory is a bit foggy) you told us if you have an existing site and you have for example Theme A for this site. and you add woocommerce and give it the astra theme, does this mean the existing site gets the astra theme too, or do i need some special settings to seperate both of them (i want to add a small woocommerce page on my dad's already exsiting site, bees need more attention)
Hey Adam, thank you for this video. I have a q. How do you prepare a product sheet to import into this theme? What are the categories that you need to have?
Good, what if we need to set check box filtering for products on left side bar?
Hi Great Video! Can I add "Opayo" gateway instead of the default stripe to Woocommerce for taking the online payments? as Opayo say they only charge flat rate £20.90 month with 350 transactions included, Does that really mean I will not have to pay any transaction fees % of each transaction? this is what I have told by an web designing agency.
This is very helpful, great job! Thank you for this tutorial.
Another Great Video! Do you have to have a shop page to use woocommerce? If so, can you use your homepage as the shop page?
Wow. Such a good explanation. Thanks a lot dude👍😀
In your video at about 12:48 you refer to taking the imported WordPress file from what looks (this is not so clear in the video) like the WooCommerce area in the Dashboard on the left column. But am looking there for that file to drag, move, and paste it in the “choose file” area on the right of the Dashboard of WordPress as you did. I downloaded the WordPress dummy file several times, but I cannot find it in the Dashboard under WooCommerce or underneath it. Can you please advise?
Brilliant thanks Adam. Have you done Astra theme woo commerce longer video yet? Love to go through it before purchasing. Might try this now instead of shopiy
It will be released this coming Monday.
Fab, many thanks again 😃
Hi Adam, love your tutorials, I've learned and am learning so much. About to plunge into developing a shopping cart so wondering if the longer WooCommerce tutorial you mentioned is available. Can't seem to find it if it's been released. Love your method of explaining so hanging on!
I have my fingers crossed
Hi, I want to built a booking website, people must be able to book for example the tennis field from 10 to 11am, or book a tennis lesson with a specific teacher. Is this possible with what you teach in this tutorial?
