Create an online shop with Extra

Procédure

Introduction

LWS offers you 3 premium plugins from Elegant Themes (Divi, Bloom and Monarch). These are updated regularly. Once you are an LWS customer, you will have free access to these plugins by choosing the 'Divi Builder' distribution when installing the Wordpress CMS with our Auto-Installer.

If you have a cPanel package or have already installed Wordpress with this distribution, but do not have access to all the themes or updates, please let us know by giving us the access details for the administration area of your Wordpress site so that a technician can update the licence.

Please note: you will need to take out an Elegant Themes licence to benefit from support. LWS does not provide support for these products.

How do I create an online shop with Extra?

If you need eCommerce functionality, you'll be pleased to know that Extra is 100% compatible with the WooCommerce plugin. We recommend WooCommerce because it provides the best overall balance between feature set, code quality, cost and support. While you can certainly use other eCommerce plugins, we cannot guarantee full functionality, nor can we provide support for issues related to using other eCommerce plugins.

The basics of WooCommerce

After activating the plugin, you'll see two new top-level menu items in your WordPress dashboard:'WooCommerce' and'Products'. You can use these menus to adjust your site's e-commerce settings and to create new products. You can find the full documentation on WooCommerce.

Please note that while the Divi Builder includes various WooCommerce modules, you can also use WooCommerce on its own, without the builder. You can use the standard pages that are created by WooCommerce (Checkout, Shopping Cart, etc.) as indicated in their documentation. You can also create a direct link to your WooCommerce product categories and/or use WooCommerce shortcodes within a Divi Builder code module. This gives you the freedom to do just about anything.
