Sell online from a WordPress shop you own
WooCommerce turns WordPress into an online shop: products, a basket and checkout, stock, orders, taxes and shipping, with payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal added as extensions.
From £10 a month, VAT included. No server to run.
- HTTPS and your own domain
- Health checks and restarts
- Security updates underneath
- Online shops
- Selling digital downloads
- Click and collect
- Bookings and subscriptions with extensions
First steps
- Sign in. When the app is live, open it in the console and choose Reveal admin password; it is shown once, so save it in your password manager. Then sign in at your-name.apps.fresh.dev/wp-admin/. Username admin
- Work through WooCommerce › Home: your store address, currency, tax and shipping zones.
- Add a payment method such as Stripe or PayPal from WooCommerce › Settings › Payments.
- Change the admin email, and add SMTP details in the console: order confirmations and receipts are sent by email.
- Set a permalink structure under Settings › Permalinks so product pages get readable addresses.
- Launch the shop when you are ready: it stays in WooCommerce’s “coming soon” mode until then.
Connect your other systems
With permalinks set, create a REST API key under WooCommerce › Settings › Advanced › REST API to read orders and products from accounting or fulfilment tools:

- WooCommerce usage tracking and marketplace suggestions are turned off.
- Payment details are handled by your payment provider; card numbers never touch your shop.
