WooCommerce turns a WordPress site into a full online store, and it is free to install. On Hostbox online-store hosting you can have a working shop ready to take orders in an afternoon.
Install WordPress and WooCommerce
Start with a WordPress site on your Hostbox hosting, then add the store engine.
Set up WordPress on your Hostbox online-store hosting.
Install the free WooCommerce plugin from the WordPress plugins area.
Follow the WooCommerce setup wizard to enter your store details, currency, payments, and shipping.
Add your products
With the store created, add your products one by one. Give each a clear title, a description, a price, and good photos. Group products into categories so shoppers can browse easily.
Pick a store-ready theme
Choose a theme that is built to work with WooCommerce so your product pages, cart, and checkout look right out of the box. A clean, fast theme helps shoppers trust your store and complete their purchase.
Set up payments
In the WooCommerce settings, enable at least one payment method so customers can actually pay. Test a small order yourself to confirm the full checkout flow works end to end.
Secure your checkout
Never run a store without HTTPS. Customers enter payment details at checkout, and SSL keeps that information encrypted. Make sure SSL is active before you accept real orders.
Hostbox includes free SSL, so securing your checkout does not cost anything extra.
