Once you have already registered your Domain & Hosting and activated it. And once you have installed WordPress, it's time install Woocommerce, which is an e-commerce software to your store. These web-based applications can be viewed on almost any computer system and mobile device.
For WordPress, one of the most popular plugins to use is that of WooCommerce. It delivers a wide array of tools to sell and is enhanced with other plugins. To install WooCommerce for WordPress, follow the steps below:

Search for "WooCommerce," install and activate it.
Step 3.
Once you click the "Activate" link, you will be taken to a new page to set up the plugin. Click the "Let's Go" button to continue.
Step 4.
The next screen shows what pages WooCommerce is going to set up and why they are important. Click the "Continue" button.

Step 6.
On the next screen, select the check boxes for shipping and if you're charging sales tax. Click the continue button. NOTE: Some states in the US require sales tax charged to online sales within the same state as your business. You will need this information available to correctly set the rate.

Additional methods can be added later from the "Checkout Settings" control in the WooCommerce area of WordPress. Click the continue button.
