Overview of this book

WooCommerce is one of the most flexible platforms for building online stores. With its flexibility, you can offer virtually any feature to a client using the WordPress system. WooCommerce is also self-hosted, so the ownership of data lies with you and your client. This book starts with the essentials of building a WooCommerce store. You’ll learn how to set up WooCommerce and implement payment, shipping, and tax options, as well as configure your product. The book also demonstrates ways to customize and manage your products by using SEO for enhanced visibility. As you advance, you’ll understand how to manage sales by using POS systems, outsource fulfillment, and external reporting services. Once you’ve set up and organized your online store, you’ll focus on improving the user experience of your e-commerce website. In addition to this, the book takes you through caching techniques to not only improve the speed and performance of your website but also its look and UI by adding themes. Finally, you’ll build the landing page for your website to promote your product, and design WooCommerce plugins to customize the functionalities of your e-commerce website. By the end of this WooCommerce book, you’ll have learned how to run a complete WooCommerce store, and be able to customize each section of the store on the frontend as well as backend.

Summary

If you only have one store you shouldn't have to worry too much about syncing data between multiple systems. But as your business grows, you'll likely need to share data and if there isn't a direct integration, you'll have to look into other systems and processes, including the ones we looked into this chapter.

In this chapter, we learned how to export and import CSV files from and into your WooCommerce site. That means you can easily connect any system to WooCommerce. We also learned how to use an ERP system that can keep all of our data in one place and should help our business run more efficiently. Now we're ready to share data with other systems.

In the next chapter, we're going to look into using a point-of-sale (POS) system so that you can sell your products in person.
