  • How to Sell Car Parts Online With WordPress (Step by Step)

    Are you looking for a way to sell car parts online on your WordPress website?

    If you have an automotive business, then a website is a great way to reach new customers. It can also improve the customer experience by allowing car owners to look through your entire catalog and order auto parts online.

    In this article, we will show you how to sell car parts online with WordPress.

    How to sell car parts online with WordPress

    Which Is the Best Website Builder to Sell Car Parts Online?

    There are many website builders that you can use to sell car parts online, but we recommend using WordPress.

    According to our blogging research statistics, WordPress is the most popular website platform in the world. It powers nearly 43% of all websites, including many of the top eCommerce websites.

    WordPress is also open-source and free, so you will have bigger profit margins. For more on this topic, see our article on why WordPress is free.

    However, just be aware there are two types of WordPress software. First, there is WordPress.com, which is a blog hosting platform. Then, there is WordPress.org, which is also known as self-hosted WordPress.

    For a detailed comparison, please see our guide on the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

    For an eCommerce site, we recommend using WordPress.org because it gives you complete ownership of your website and online store. You can also install third-party plugins, including the popular WooCommerce eCommerce plugin.

    According to our WordPress market share report, WooCommerce is used by 8.8% of all websites, which makes it more popular than Shopify for online stores and eCommerce sites.

    To learn more about why we recommend WordPress to all our readers, please see our complete WordPress review.

    We will now show you how to sell car parts online with WordPress. You can use the quick links below to jump to the different parts of the article:

    Step 1: Set Up Your Auto Parts Website

    To start selling car parts online, you will need a domain name and web hosting.

    A domain name is your store’s address on the internet. This is what customers will type into their browsers to reach your website, such as www.carparts.com or www.buyautoparts.com.

    Web hosting is where your site lives online. To help you find the right hosting for your business, we have created a complete list of the best WordPress hosting that you can buy.

    Although the WordPress software is free, hosting and domain names are where the costs can really start to add up.

    A domain name typically costs $14.99/year, and hosting costs start from $7.99/month. This can make it difficult if you are a new business or have a limited budget.

    Thankfully, Bluehost is offering our readers 60% off web hosting, plus a free domain name. Bluehost is one of the largest hosting companies in the world and an official WordPress-recommended hosting partner.

    They are also offering our users a free SSL certificate. If you want to sell car parts online, then an SSL certificate is essential for keeping customer credit and debit card information safe.

    You can click the button below to get started for as little as $2.75 per month.

    Once on the Bluehost website, click the green ‘Get Started Now’ button.

    The Bluehost web hosting website

    This will bring you to the Bluehost pricing page, where you can choose a hosting plan for your auto part business.

    We recommend choosing a Basic or Plus plan, as they are the most popular web hosting plans among our readers.

    Bluehost's pricing plans

    After selecting a plan, click on ‘Continue.’

    On the next screen, you will need to choose a domain name.

    Choosing a domain name for an automotive store

    Ideally, your domain name will be easy to pronounce, spell, remember, and relate to your business. The name of your auto parts business is a great place to start, but sometimes that domain may already be taken by another business website.

    In that case, you can try extending the domain name by adding your location, what makes your auto parts business unique, or some extra keywords. If you need some inspiration, then check out our guide on how to choose the best domain name.

    After choosing a name, click on the ‘Next’ button to continue.

    Now you will need to provide your account information, such as your name and business email address. After that, you will also see optional extras that you can buy.

    We generally don’t recommend buying these extras straight away, as you can always add them later if your business needs them.

    Bluehost package extras

    After that, type in your payment information to complete the purchase.

    After a few moments, you will get an email with instructions on how to log in to your web hosting control panel. This is your hosting account dashboard, where you can manage your car parts website, including setting up email notifications and asking for WordPress support.

    It’s also where you will install the WordPress software, so let’s do that now.

    Step 2: Create a New WordPress Website

    If you sign up with Bluehost using our link, then Bluehost installs WordPress on your domain name automatically.

    If you want to create a different WordPress website, then go ahead and click on the ‘My Sites’ tab in the Bluehost dashboard.

    After that, you need to click on the ‘Add Site’ button and select ‘Create New Site.’

    Creating a new WordPress website with Bluehost

    The Bluehost wizard will now walk you through the setup process.

    First, you will need to type in a site title and an optional tagline.

    Adding a site title and tagline to WordPress

    When you are ready, just click on the ‘Next’ button to continue.

    After that, Bluehost will ask you to choose a domain name and path for your car parts website. If you already own a domain name, then go ahead and select it from the dropdown menu.

    Selecting a domain name for an automotive parts website

    If you don’t have a domain name, then you can buy one by visiting the ‘Domains’ page inside the Bluehost dashboard.

    After choosing a domain name, you can leave the directory path blank and let Bluehost fill it in for you.

    The installer will also show a few plugins that you may want to install on your car parts website, including WPForms. Many of these are must-have WordPress plugins that can help you grow your business and get more sales, so we recommend installing them.

    When you are ready, click on the ‘Next’ button, and the installer will set up your car parts website. Once it’s finished, you will see a ‘WordPress installed successfully’ message with information about your new website.

    You can now go ahead and click on the ‘Log into WordPress’ button, which takes you to your site’s admin dashboard.

    How to create a car parts website with WordPress

    You can also log in to the WordPress dashboard by going to yoursite.com/wp-admin/ in your web browser.

    If you are using a different WordPress website host, such as SiteGroundHostingerHostGator, or WP Engine, then you can see our complete guide on how to install WordPress for all the top hosting providers.

    Now that you have successfully set up WordPress, you are ready to start building your automotive parts website.

    Step 3: Choose a WordPress Theme

    WordPress themes are professionally-designed templates that change how your automotive website looks and acts.

    By default, each WordPress site comes with a basic theme. If you visit your website now, then you will see something like the following image.

    An example of a default WordPress theme

    If you want to make a great first impression with customers and get more sales, then it’s a good idea to replace the default WordPress theme.

    There are lots of different premium and free WordPress business themes to choose from. You can generally categorize these as niche industry themes or multipurpose WordPress themes.

    Your typical automotive website needs special features, like the ability to show listings, support for popular eCommerce plugins, and a VIN decoder tool.

    With that in mind, it makes sense to look for a theme that’s designed for the car industry. To help you out, we have collected the best WordPress themes for car dealerships and the best themes for auto repair.

    You can also use a website and landing page builder plugin like SeedProd.

    The SeedProd page builder plugin

    SeedProd is the best drag and drop WordPress page builder and comes with built-in templates that you can use to create a professionally-designed car parts website.

    It even has a template that’s designed specifically for the car industry.

    How to sell car parts online with SeedProd

    Once you have chosen a theme, check out our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress theme. After installing your theme, you can customize it by going to Appearance » Customize in the WordPress dashboard.

    This will open the theme customizer, where you can fine-tune the theme settings and see your changes instantly, thanks to the live preview.

    The WordPress theme customizer

    If you are using one of the newer full site editing themes, then you can customize your theme by going to Appearance Â» Editor. This launches the full site editor, which uses blocks similar to the content editor.

    Pro Tip: No matter which theme you are using, you can’t edit it by default using advanced drag and drop. For that reason, we recommend using a page builder like SeedProd instead.

    Step 4: Create a Custom Home Page

    WordPress has two default content types called posts and pages.

    You will typically use posts to create articles and blogs. By default, the home page will show these posts in reverse chronological order, so the newest content appears at the top of the home page.

    An example of a car parts blog

    Blogging can help you build a stronger relationship with your customers, improve your WordPress SEO, and get more traffic to your automotive website.

    For example, you might share tips on how to diagnose common car problems or blog about the latest industry trends.

    However, even if you plan to blog, you typically don’t want to show those posts on your automotive website’s home page. Instead, we recommend creating a custom home page that introduces your car parts business to potential new customers.

    For step-by-step instructions on how to create an attention-grabbing auto parts home page, please see our guide on how to create a custom home page in WordPress.

    Once you are happy with how the page looks, it’s time to set it as your home page. To do this, head over to Settings » Reading in the WordPress dashboard.

    The WordPress reading settings

    On this screen, you need to scroll to ‘Your homepage settings’ and select ‘A static page.’

    With that done, just open the ‘Homepage’ dropdown and choose the page you want to use.

    The WordPress homepage settings

    After that, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on ‘Save Changes.’ Now, if you visit your auto parts website, then you will see the new home page in action.

    If you are going to write blogs, then you should also make sure to create a separate blog page to show your posts.

    Step 5: Set Up an eCommerce Plugin

    WordPress doesn’t have eCommerce features by default, so you will need a plugin to sell car parts online. The easiest way to sell physical products is by using WooCommerce.

    WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce plugin in the world and has everything you need to sell car parts online.

    First, you will need to install and activate the WooCommerce plugin. If you need help, then please see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

    Upon activation, you will see the WooCommerce setup wizard. The first thing you will need to do is type in your store’s location.

    The WooCommerce setup wizard

    After that, click on the ‘Continue’ button.

    On the next screen, you can select your industry. Since you are going to sell car parts online, you will typically want to check the box next to ‘Other.’

    After that, type your industry into the ‘Description’ field.

    How to sell car parts online with WooCommerce

    With that done, click on ‘Continue.’

    You can use WooCommerce to sell all kinds of products, including digital downloads, bookings, and WooCommerce subscriptions.

    However, since you are selling automotive parts, make sure to check the ‘Physical products’ box.

    The WooCommerce setup wizard

    When you are happy with the information you have entered, click on ‘Continue.’

    With that done, you can choose how many products you plan to sell and whether you are currently selling anywhere else.

    How to create an online store with WooCommerce

    After entering this information, just click on the ‘Continue’ button.

    The setup wizard will now recommend some business features that you can add to your online store. These features are free, so we recommend selecting the following checkbox ‘Add recommended business features to my site.’

    Adding recommended features to an online store

    When you are happy with the information you have entered, simply click on ‘Continue’ to set up your online store.

    Step 6: Set Up Shipping for Your Car Parts

    Next, you can add shipping options by going to WooCommerce » Settings.

    The WooCommerce settings screen

    Here, you need to click on the ‘Shipping’ tab.

    With that done, select ‘Add shipping zone.’

    How to add shipping to an online store

    On the next screen, type in a name for the zone and select one or more regions from the dropdown menu.

    Once you have done that, simply click on the ‘Add shipping method’ button.

    How to set up WooCommerce shipping

    Now, you will see different shipping methods in the dropdown menu. You can choose between a flat rate, free shipping, or even offer local pickup.

    Select your preferred shipping method and click ‘Add shipping method.’

    Adding shipping methods to an online automotive store

    WooCommerce will now add your chosen shipping method to the shipping zone.

    To configure the shipping method, simply hover over it and then click the ‘Edit’ button.

    Editing shipping methods to a WooCommerce automotive store

    You will see a popup with more settings you can use. 

    The settings will vary depending on the shipping method you choose. For example, if you select ‘Flat rate’, then you can change the method title, add a tax status, and enter the total shipping cost.

    How to set up flat rate shipping in WooCommerce

    After entering this information, go ahead and click on ‘Save changes.’

    You can create as many shipping zones as you want by repeating these steps.

    Step 7: Set Up Payments for Your Car Parts Business

    Next, you need to add payment options so that customers can buy your car parts online. To get started, head over to WooCommerce » Settings and select the ‘Payments’ tab.

    Adding payment methods to an auto parts website

    This opens a screen with all the different payment methods and WooCommerce payment gateways that you can use.

    Simply find the method you want to enable and click on its ‘Finish set up’ button.

    How to sell car parts online in WordPress

    You can now set up this payment method by following the onscreen instructions.

    When you are finished, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save changes’ button.

    How to accept credit card payments in WordPress

    To make the payment method live on your site, click on the ‘Payments’ tab.

    Then, simply click on the method’s toggle so it turns from grey (disabled) to purple (enabled).

    Enabling WooCommerce payments

    To get more sales in your online store, you may want to offer multiple payment methods. For example, you might accept credit card payments on your WordPress site, plus cash on delivery.

    To add more payment methods, simply follow the same process described above.

    Step 8: Create Product Attributes and Attribute Terms

    By default, WooCommerce creates each product as a ‘Simple Product.’ However, you will probably want to offer the same car part for multiple models or brands.

    The easiest way to do this is by creating a variable product. This allows customers to visit a single product listing and then choose the right product variation for their car, as you can see in the following image.

    How to sell car parts online with WordPress

    To create variable products, you will first need to set up attributes and attribute terms.

    For example, if you are selling tires, then you might make a ‘Season’ attribute and then add ‘Winter’ and ‘Summer’ as the attribute terms.

    This will allow customers to choose between winter tires and summer tires.

    An example of a car part, created using WordPress and WooCommerce

    You might also create a ‘Model’ attribute and then add each car model as an attribute term.

    By adding attributes and attribute terms to your online store in advance, you will find it easier to create variable products later.

    With that being said, head over to Products » Attributes. You can now type a title for the attribute into the ‘Title’ field. This will appear on your product pages, so make sure you use something descriptive.

    Adding product attributes to an online store

    For more on this topic, see our guide on how to add product attributes to WooCommerce.

    When you are happy with the information you have entered, click on ‘Add attribute.’

    Adding car parts as a variable product

    This attribute will now appear towards the right of the screen.

    Next, go ahead and click on the ‘Configure terms’ link.

    Configuring terms for a variable product

    This brings up a screen similar to the main attribute screen, where you can start adding attribute terms.

    To start, type the term’s title into the ‘Name’ field.

    Adding terms to an eCommerce store

    When you are happy with the information you have typed in, just click on the ‘Add new…’ button.

    Simply repeat the above steps to create more attribute terms. You can also create as many product attributes as you want and then add unique terms to those attributes.

    Examples of product attributes, created using a WordPress eCommerce plugin

    Step 9: Add Your Car Part Products

    After creating some product attributes and terms, you are ready to start adding car parts to your online store. You can add each product manually or import WooCommerce products from a template, CSV file, or another service.

    In this guide, we will show you how to add car parts to your store manually, so start by going to Products » Add New.

    On this screen, start by typing in the product name. This will appear at the top of the product page, so visitors will be able to see it.

    Adding a car part to an online store

    After that, type in a description and add a product image.

    If you want to show multiple images, then you can click on ‘Add product gallery images.’ You can even add interactive 360-degree images in WordPress.

    Adding car part product images

    After that, it’s a good idea to add categories and tags to the product. These will help customers find the right products on your car parts site, like categories and tags for WordPress pages.

    Simply click on the ‘Add new category’ link and then create a new category for the car part you are adding.

    Adding car part product categories to an online store

    After that, you can type each tag into the ‘Product tags’ box and click on ‘Add.’

    To add multiple product categories and tags, simply repeat the same steps described above.

    Adding product tags to a car part product

    After that, scroll to the ‘Product Data’ box.

    To create a variable product, simply click on the dropdown that shows ‘Simple product’ by default. Then, select ‘Variable product.’

    Adding variable products to an automotive website

    You can now select the product type, add pricing, shipping costs, grouped products, and other information.

    After entering all this information, you are ready to create variations by selecting the ‘Attributes’ tab. Here, open the ‘Add existing’ dropdown menu.

    Adding existing attributes to a variable product

    You can now go ahead and select the product attribute you want to use.

    In the ‘Value(s)’ field, type in each term you want to use. When the right term appears, click to add it to the product.

    Adding values to a product variable

    With that done, click on the ‘Save attributes’ button.

    To add more product attributes and terms, simply repeat the above steps.

    WooCommerce's product data settings

    With that done, click on the ‘Variations’ tab.

    On this screen, go ahead and click on ‘Generate variations.’

    Generating variations for a car part website

    WooCommerce will now create variations using all the attributes you added to the product.

    To set up each variation, click on its ‘Edit’ link.

    Editing a variable car part product

    You can now add the variation’s price, upload an image, set the shipping options, and more using the settings in this section.

    Simply repeat this process to configure each product variation.

    Configuring a vehicle part product

    There are lots more settings you can use to fine-tune the variable product. However, this is all you need to add a car part to your online store.

    When you are ready to make the product live, go ahead and click on the ‘Publish’ button.

    Publishing a car part product to a WordPress website

    If you visit your online store, you will see the variable product live.

    To add more car parts to your online store, simply repeat these steps.

    Step 10: Add a Contact Us Form

    Customers might sometimes need to talk to you directly. For example, they may want to find out when a particular part will be back in stock or get some advice on a mechanical problem.

    While visitors could call your business phone number, it’s still a good idea to add a contact form to your website.

    An example of a contact form, on a car parts website

    Most of the best contact form plugins come with built-in spam protection, so you won’t get any contact form spam. A form will also collect consistent information, so you will have all the data you need to write a helpful reply.

    The easiest way to create a contact form is by using the free WPForms plugin. This plugin has a built-in Simply Contact Form template that you can quickly customize using the drag and drop editor.

    A contact form, created using WPForms

    After that, just add the form to any page, post, or widget-ready area using the ready-made WPForms block.

    For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to create a contact form in WordPress.

    Step 11: Add a Navigation Menu

    After adding some content to your car parts website, you will want to help visitors find their way around those pages and posts by adding a navigation menu.

    An example of a WordPress navigation menu

    No matter which theme you are using, it’s easy to add menus and sub-menus to your automotive website.

    For a complete guide, please see our post on how to add a navigation menu.

    Adding a menu to your car parts website

    WooCommerce has a built-in search feature, but it’s not very good at finding products. It doesn’t look for matches in product attributes, reviews, custom fields, or product descriptions.

    By replacing the default search with a smarter and faster search, you can help customers find the exact car parts they need. This will improve the customer experience and help you get more sales.

    The easiest way to create a smart WooCommerce product search is by using SearchWP. SearchWP is the best WordPress search plugin on the market and puts you in complete control of the WordPress search algorithm.

    The SearchWP search plugin for WordPress

    By default, SearchWP will look at the product title, content (description), slug, and excerpt (short description) for matches. 

    Plus, you can customize the SearchWP settings to look for matches in custom fields, taxonomies, customer reviews, product tags, and more.

    For more information, please check out our guide on how to make a smart WooCommerce product search.

    Step 12: Display Customer Reviews

    Reviews are some of the best ways to earn customer trust and convince visitors to buy car parts from your website. After all, we are more likely to buy things that we see other people buying, using, or recommending.

    If you already have reviews on platforms like Facebook, Yelp, and Google, then it’s easy to display them on your WordPress site using Smash Balloon Reviews Feed Pro.

    Car part reviews, displayed using Smash Balloon

    Reviews Feed Pro is one of the best customer review plugins for WordPress that you can use.

    It will collect reviews automatically and then organize them into a nice layout on your automotive website. You can also completely customize the review feed so that it perfectly fits with your site.

    Adding the GTIN, ISBN & MPN schema in WooCommerce and WordPress

    Why Should You Add GTIN, ISBN, & MPN Schema in WooCommerce and WordPress?

    GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is used for identifying trade items such as products or services. By contrast, ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is used for tracking books, eBooks, and audiobooks.

    On the other hand, MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) is for tracking specific electronic components and parts, such as integrated circuits and resistors.

    GTIN, ISBN, and MPN schema properties are markup code that you can add to your WordPress website to provide detailed and accurate product information to search engines.

    This markup can help improve your content visibility and improve the SEO of your website. When people search for a specific ISBN, GTIN, or MPN, then your products may show up in the search results.

    For example, if your run an online store that sells books, then you can add the ISBN schema to increase your website visibility.

    Upon activation, the plugin will launch a setup wizard on your screen. If you need any help, then you may want to see our tutorial on how to set up All in One SEO in WordPress.

    Click let's get started AIOSEO setup wizard

    Next, head over to the Products » All Products page from the WordPress admin sidebar.

    Once you are there, just click the ‘Edit’ link under the product where you want to add the GTIN, ISBN, or MPN schema.

    Click Edit link under a product

    This will open up the ‘Edit Product’ page, where you need to scroll down to the ‘AIOSEO Settings’ meta box.

    From here, switch to the ‘Schema’ tab, where you will see the ‘Product’ schema is already in use by default. Now, simply click the ‘Edit’ button next to the schema.

    Click the Edit Schema button

    This will open up an ‘Edit Product’ popup on the screen, where you will see that the ‘Autogenerate Field’ toggle has been switched to ‘Yes’.

    This means that AIOSEO automatically fetches and fills the schema data for the product title, image, and description.

    However, if you would like to fill these fields manually, then you can simply switch the ‘Autogenerate Fields’ toggle to ‘No’.

    Toggle the Autogenerate Fields switch

    After that, scroll down to the ‘Identifiers’ section and add the GTIN, ISBN, or MPN for your product. You can also add other attributes, shipping destinations, and product reviews in the schema markup.

    After you have made your changes, don’t forget to click the ‘Update Schema’ button.

    Add the ISBN, GTIN, or MPN and click Update Schema button

    If your online store only sells books, then you can click on the ‘Generate Schema’ button in the Schema tab and then select the ‘Book’ schema template from the catalog.

    This will open the Schema Generator on the screen, where you can add the title, image, and description for the book you are selling.

    Add book details

    After that, scroll down to the ‘Editions’ section and add the ISBN for your book.

    After entering the details, simply click the ‘Add Schema’ button to generate your schema markup for books.

    Add book details

    Finally, click the ‘Update’ button at the top to store your changes.

    You have now successfully added a schema markup for your products, including the GTIN, ISBN, or MPN details.

    Keep in mind that these changes will not be visible on your website’s front end but will help search engine bots rank your content.

  • How to Edit WooCommerce Pages (No Coding Required)

    Do you want to edit WooCommerce pages without writing code?

    WooCommerce creates many pages to display products and add cart functionality to your store. Small improvements to these pages can result in higher sales and less cart abandonment for your store.

    In this article, we will show you how to easily edit WooCommerce pages to make more sales without any coding skills.

    How to Edit WooCommerce Pages

    Why Edit WooCommerce Pages for Your Online Store?

    WooCommerce creates many pages to display products, shop, account, checkout, and cart features for your online store.

    By default, your WordPress theme controls how these pages look. There are a ton of great WooCommerce themes that you can choose from.

    However, editing these pages may not be as straightforward as it seems.

    For instance, you may not be able to show additional products, add upsell features, change the layout, and more.

    This is where SeedProd comes in. It is the ultimate WooCommerce page builder plugin that allows you to use an intuitive drag-and-drop tool to design your WooCommerce pages.

    SeedProd website builder

    The first thing you need to do is install and activate the SeedProd plugin. For more details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

    For the different methods in this article, we will be using the SeedProd Pro version, as it has the features needed to edit WooCommerce pages.

    Upon activation, you need to visit SeedProd » Settings page to enter your plugin license key. You can find this information under your account on the SeedProd website.

    Adding a SeedProd license key to WordPress

    After entering your license key, you are good to go. You can now edit and create highly optimized WooCommerce pages for your online store.

    That being said, let’s take a look at how to edit WooCommerce pages, step by step.

    You can click any of the links below to jump to any method you want:

    Create a Completely Custom WooCommerce Theme

    SeedProd comes with a complete WooCommerce theme builder built-in. This allows you to replace your WooCommerce theme with a custom one of your own.

    The advantage of this approach is that you get more flexibility when editing your WooCommerce theme. You can edit any page using a simple drag-and-drop tool.

    To get started, simply go to the SeedProd » Setup page and click on the ‘Select a theme for my store’ button next to the ‘Build a WooCommerce Store’ option.

    Make a custom WooCommerce theme

    Next, the plugin will show you many ready-to-use WooCommerce themes you can use as a starting point.

    Simply click on a template to select it.

    WooCommerce template selection

    Each WooCommerce or WordPress theme is a collection of templates showing different areas of your website or online store.

    SeedProd will now generate those templates for your theme and show you a list of them.

    Theme templates

    You can now take your mouse over to a template and click on the ‘Edit Design’ link to start editing it.

    This will launch the SeedProd page builder interface.

    Editing shop page for your WooCommerce theme

    You can add all the common website building blocks from the left column. To the right, you will see a live preview of the page you are editing.

    You can also simply point and click on any item to edit it.

    Customize the WooCommerce Checkout Page

    The checkout page in any eCommerce store is one of the most significant steps in the customer journey.

    By default, WooCommerce comes with a plain checkout experience, which is not optimized for sales and conversions.

    Plain checkout experience

    Small edits to the checkout page can help you increase sales and reduce cart abandonment on your store.

    For example, you can show related products with an ‘Add to Cart’ button on the checkout page so that users may see something else they want to purchase, too.

    To create your custom checkout page, simply go to SeedProd » Landing Pages and click on ‘Add New Landing Page’.

    Add new landing page

    Next, you will be asked to choose a template for your page.

    You can choose one of the templates on the screen and edit it to create a checkout page, or you can start with a blank template.

    Choose a blank template

    We will be using the blank template for this tutorial, but you can choose any of them that you like.

    Next, you will need to provide a title and URL for the page. You can use anything that helps you easily identify this page.

    page name and url

    Click on the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button to continue.

    This will launch SeedProd’s page builder interface, where you can simply drag and drop blocks to build your page layout.

    Page builder launched

    First, you should add a header and then customize it with your own branding.

    SeedProd comes with sections, which are collections of blocks that are often used together. To add a header section, click on the ‘Sections’ tab and then select the ‘Header’ category.

    Add header section

    Next, take your mouse to a header and click the ‘Add (+)’ button to insert it into your page.

    You can now edit the header section by simply clicking on each block and replacing it with your own logo, menu, and call to action.

    Edit header page

    Once you are happy with the header, you need to add a two-column layout.

    You can use this two-column layout to display the checkout form and upsell products, testimonials, and other elements.

    Choose layout

    After that, you need to add the Checkout block from the left-hand menu.

    Add it to the left column, which is wider and will appear first on mobile devices.

    Add checkout block

    Next, you need to add blocks to the right column. This is the area you can use to convince users to complete the purchase.

    You can add a testimonial block here or show your most popular products.

    Upsell products

    Here are a few more things you can add to your checkout page to improve it for higher conversions:

    • Trust badges like secure payment badges provided by PayPal and Stripe
    • More social proof, like real-time customer activity
    • The Business Reviews block in SeedProd to display Google reviews

    Once you have finished editing your checkout page, don’t forget to click the arrow beside ‘Save’ and then click on ‘Publish’ in the upper-right corner of the screen.

    Save and publish

    Next, you need to tell WooCommerce to start using your custom checkout page for all customers.

    Go to the WooCommerce » Settings page and switch to the ‘Advanced’ tab.

    Use your custom checkout page

    Under the ‘Page Setup’ tab, select your custom checkout page for the ‘Checkout page’ option. Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save changes’ button to store your settings.

    You can now go to your store in a new browser tab and try the new checkout experience by adding a product to your cart.

    Preview your custom checkout page

    For more details, you can see our tutorial on customizing the WooCommerce checkout page.

    Customize the WooCommerce Checkout Form

    The checkout page is one of the areas where many users abandon carts.

    The easiest way to ensure users complete their purchases is by offering a better checkout experience.

    This is where FunnelKit can help. It is one of the best sales funnel builders for WooCommerce that enables you to optimize funnels, checkout pages, cart experience, and more.

    FunnelKit Automations

    It has dozens of templates, a funnel builder wizard, and drag-and-drop editing for your cart and checkout pages.

    First, you need to sign up for a FunnelKit plan by visiting their website.

    Note: You will need at least the Plus plan to unlock sales funnels, upsells, order bumps, and other features.

    After that, you need to install and activate the FunnelKit Builder and FunnelKit Builder Pro plugins. You can find them under your account on the FunnelKit website.

    FunnelKit plugins

    Need help? See our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

    Upon activation, you will be asked to provide your plugin license keys. You can find them on the same Downloads page under your account on the FunnelKit website.

    Once you have finished, you are ready to customize the WooCommerce checkout form.

    Simply go to the FunnelKit » Store Checkout page in the WordPress admin dashboard and click on the ‘Create Store Checkout’ button.

    Create a store checkout

    On the next screen, you need to first choose your editor interface.

    FunnelKit templates can be edited with the default Gutenberg editor, Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, or any other page builder by using shortcodes.

    After that, you need to choose a template. There are dozens of beautiful templates to choose from. Just click on the ‘Preview’ button to see a live preview of the template.

    You can choose between a single-step or multi-step checkout page in the preview. After that, simply click on the ‘Import This Funnel’ button at the top.

    Funnel Importer

    Next, you will be asked to enter a name for your funnel.

    You can call it anything that helps you identify it later. Then, click on the ‘OK’ button to continue.

    Give your custom cart a name

    FunnelKit will now create your custom checkout page.

    After that, you will see the page dashboard. From here, you can edit your checkout page, add more steps, or add an order bump.

    Editing custom checkout page

    Editing a page will open it in the editor you chose earlier.

    For this tutorial, we chose Gutenberg. Each item on the checkout page is a block that you can edit by simply clicking to select it.

    Checkout page editor

    You can also add new blocks by clicking on the ‘Add Block’ button.

    Once you have finished making the changes, don’t forget to click on the ‘Update’ button.

    This will bring you back to the Checkout page dashboard. From here, you need to switch to the ‘Fields’ tab.

    Fields editor

    This is where you can edit the checkout form fields. In this example, we are using a two-step checkout form. This allows you to capture the contact information before the payment.

    You can also add new form fields from the right column. By default, the plugin shows the commonly used checkout fields.

    However, you can click on the ‘Add New Field’ button to add a custom form field.

    Add new custom field

    This will show a popup where you can choose the field type, provide a meta key, and enter a label.

    You can also make the field ‘required’ and assign it to the checkout or thank you page.

    Create a custom checkout field

    Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to store your form settings.

    FunnelKit comes with a bunch of optimizations that you can add to your checkout page for a more frictionless experience.

    Just switch to the ‘Optimizations’ page, and you will see a list of optimizations that you can apply to the checkout page.

    Checkout page optimizations

    Simply click on an optimization to configure it, then click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to store your changes.

    Next, switch to the ‘Settings’ tab to enable Analytics, Facebook pixel, custom scripts, or CSS in your checkout funnel.

    Funnel settings

    Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to apply your changes.

    Finally, you need to click on the ‘Draft’ button next to the Checkout page title and change it to ‘Publish’. This will replace your existing checkout page with the custom funnel you have just created.

    Publish Checkout page

    You can now visit your store in a new browser tab to test the custom checkout experience you have created.

    This is how it looked on our demo website.

    Previewing custom checkout page

    Add One-Page Checkout in WooCommerce

    FunnelKit also allows you to create a one-page checkout experience.

    You need to visit the FunnelKit » Store Checkout page and click on ‘Create Store Checkout’.

    Create a store checkout

    In the template selection, simply click on the ‘One-Step’ option at the top.

    After that, click on the ‘Import This Funnel’ button to continue.

    One-Step checkout

    You can then continue editing your template in your preferred editor. See the previous section of this tutorial for more detailed instructions.

    Add a Slide-In Cart to WooCommerce

    Most WooCommerce themes come with a separate cart page. This cart experience adds friction to the shopping and checkout experiences.

    If users need to adjust the product quality or remove items from the cart, they have to leave the page they are currently viewing to update the cart.

    This can be fixed by adding a slide-in cart in WooCommerce.

    A slide-in cart shows a cart button on the screen. Clicking on the button displays a slide-in menu with products the user has added to the cart.

    Slide-in Cart

    Users can now edit and update the cart without leaving the page.

    FunnelKit has a beautiful slide-in cart feature that integrates seamlessly with your online store. You can even use it to upsell products, incentivize checkout, offer discounts, and more.

    First, you need to visit the FunnelKit website and sign up for an account.

    Note: You will need at least the Plus plan to access the slide-in cart features.

    After signup, go to your account on the FunnelKit website to download the FunnelKit Cart plugin.

    FunnelKit cart

    Next, you need to install and activate the plugin. For more details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

    Once you have activated the plugin, you must go to the FunnelKit » Cart page to configure the slide-in cart settings.

    Cart settings

    From here, you will see many options to your left and a live preview of how your slide-in cart will look.

    FunnelKit offers a ton of customization options. For instance, you can choose from different styles, select cart icons, change button text, and more.

    You can also add upsell products or cross-sell products, offer discounts, and make the cart experience much more appealing.

    Additional cart settings

    To publish your changes, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save’ button.

    You can now visit your website to test the slide-in cart in your live store.

    Customize the WooCommerce Cart Page

    WooCommerce has a default cart page allowing users to continue to the checkout page.

    By default, it shows the products customers have added to their cart. However, research shows that more than 70% of customers leave an online store without completing the purchase.

    WooCommerce themes often come with a boring cart page with no optimization for conversions.

    WooCommerce default cart experience

    By customizing your WooCommerce cart page, you can easily reduce cart abandonment and improve sales.

    To create your custom checkout page, simply go to the SeedProd » Landing Pages and click on ‘Add New Landing Page’.

    Add new landing page

    Next, you will be asked to choose a template for your page.

    You can choose one of the templates on the screen and edit it to create a cart page, or you can start with a blank template.

    Choose a blank template

    We’ll use the blank template for this tutorial.

    Next, you will need to provide a title and URL for the page. You can use anything that helps you easily identify this page.

    Cart page tiitle and URL

    This will launch the SeedProd builder interface.

    You can start by switching to the ‘Sections’ tab and adding a header to your blank template.

    Add header section

    After that, feel free to point and click to edit the header area to your liking.

    Below that, you need to add a two-column layout, which you will use to add other cart page blocks.

    Add layout columns

    Next, add the ‘Cart’ block to the right column.

    Now, since your cart is currently empty, it will not show any products. Go to your store and add a few products to your cart and then reload the SeedProd page builder.

    Add the cart block

    After that, you can add other elements to improve your cart page.

    For instance, you can start by adding testimonials or add a countdown timer to trigger the FOMO effect.

    Upsell and create FOMO

    Feel free to play around by adding different blocks and tweaking colors and width.

    Once you have finished editing, don’t forget to click on ‘Save and Publish’ in the top-right of the screen.

    Save and publish

    Next, you need to tell WooCommerce to start using your custom cart page for all customers.

    Go to the WooCommerce » Settings page and switch to the ‘Advanced’ tab.

    Use custom cart page

    You can now visit your online store in a new browser tab.

    Start adding a few products, and then head over to the cart page to see your new cart page in action.

    Cart page preview

    Edit WooCommerce Product Pages

    WooCommerce themes use the same template to display all products on your website.

    However, you may want to promote some products more than others. The most you can do to distinguish important products is to make them featured products.

    SeedProd allows you to create custom product pages. You can use a well-designed template tailor-made for higher conversions and then simply fill it with your product information.

    To get started, simply go to the SeedProd » Landing Pages and then click on ‘Add New Landing Page’.

    Add new landing page

    Next, you will be asked to choose a template for your page.

    You can choose one of the templates on the screen and edit it to create a product page. You will find several templated optimized for conversions under the ‘Sales’ tab.

    Choose a template to create a product page

    Simply click to select a template and continue.

    Next, you will be asked to provide a page title and URL. You can use the product name as the title and URL.

    Product page title and URL

    Click on the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button to continue.

    This will launch the SeedProd page builder interface with your selected template. You can simply point and click on any item on the page to edit it.

    Editing product page

    You can start by replacing the header items, such as the logo, navigation menu, and call-to-action button, with your own.

    After that, you can replace images with your product images and edit the text as necessary.

    Add your product details with add to cart button

    Finally, you can replace the call to action with the Add to Cart block.

    After that, you need to enter the product ID in the Add to Cart block settings. You can also change the button text, as well as add subtext, color, and shift alignment.

    Edit cart bundle

    To find a product ID, you need to go to the Products » All Products page in the WordPress admin area in a separate browser tab.

    Take the mouse over to the product that you want to promote, and the product ID will appear along with other links.

    Finding a product ID in WooCommerce

    To make your product page more effective, you can try these tips:

    • Add high-quality product images with the zoom effect so that users can clearly examine the product.
    • Under your main call to action, you can create different rows highlighting product features and providing more information to the customers.
    • Use social proof to trigger the FOMO effect.

    Once you are done editing your product page, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save and Publish’ button at the top.

    Customize the Shop Page for Your WooCommerce Store

    WooCommerce allows you to easily display your products on the shop page. It is basically a page with your products displayed in a grid layout.

    The shop template in most WooCommerce themes is boring and not optimized for sales and conversions. On top of that, there are usually no or very few options to customize it.

    SeedProd allows you to create and customize a WooCommerce shop page easily. You can choose your own layout and design and optimize this page for higher conversions.

    To get started, simply go to the SeedProd » Landing Pages and then click on the ‘Add New Landing Page’ button.

    Add new landing page

    Next, you will be asked to choose a template for your page.

    You can choose one of the templates on the screen and edit it to create your shop page.

    Choose a template to create a product page

    Simply click to select a template and continue.

    Next, you will be asked to provide a page title and URL. You can use something like Shop, Store, or Storefront to indicate that it is the main shop page.

    Shop page

    Click on the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button to continue.

    This will launch the SeedProd page builder interface with your selected template. You can simply point and click on any item on the page to edit it.

    Editing product page

    You can start by replacing the header items, such as the logo, navigation menu, and call-to-action button, with your own.

    After that, you can add a hero section at the top with a large image and your main call to action.

    Shop header

    Below that, you can use WooCommerce blocks to display your products.

    You can choose from recent, featured, best-selling, top-rated, and sale products.

    Display products

    After adding a product block, you can also customize how it looks.

    SeedProd allows you to choose the number of products, sorting options, columns, and more.

    Product display options

    You can further optimize this page by adding more text, special offers, banners, an FAQ section, and more.

    Once you are done editing, don’t forget to click on ‘Save and Publish’ at the top.

    Save and publissh product page

    After saving your page, click the ‘Preview’ button to see it in action.

    SeedProd will open the page in a new browser tab.

    Shop page preview

    You can now replace links to the Shop page in your navigation menu with your custom shop page.

    Customize WooCommerce Thank You Page

    The WooCommerce ‘Thank You’ page appears when a customer completes a purchase. By default, WooCommerce will only show them their order details on this page.

    Default thank you page in WooCommerce

    That doesn’t provide customers with more options to explore. It is kind of a dead end and a missed opportunity for sales and conversions.

    Luckily, you can fix that with SeedProd by creating a custom thank you page.

    To get started, simply go to the SeedProd » Landing Pages and then click on the ‘Add New Landing Page’ button.

    Add new landing page

    Next, you will be asked to choose a template for your page.

    Switch to the ‘Thank You’ tab, and you will find a bunch of thank you page templates. You can choose one of them, or you can even start with a blank template.

    Thank you page templates

    Next, you will be asked to choose a title and URL for your page.

    You can use ‘Thank You’ or any other meaningful title for your page.

    Click on the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button to continue.

    This will launch the SeedProd page builder interface, where you will see a live preview of your template. You can simply point and click to edit any item in the preview or add new blocks from the left column.

    You can now use this opportunity to promote your email list or upsell products by adding WooCommerce product grid blocks.

    Feel free to experiment with different headings, text copy, and products to create an effective Thank You page.

    Once finished, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save and Publish’ button in the top right corner of the screen.

    Your custom thank you page is now live. However, you still need to tell WooCommerce to use this page as your default Thank You page.

    To do that, you will need to install and activate the Thanks Redirect for WooCommerce plugin. For more details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

    Upon activation, go to the WooCommerce » Settings page and click the ‘Products’ tab.

    Redirect thank you page in WooCommerce

    From here, you need to check the ‘Enable Global Thanks Redirect’ option. After that, you will see a field labeled ‘Thanks Redirect URL.’

    Paste your new WooCommerce Thank You page URL into this box, then click the ‘Save Changes’ button.

    Now when customers complete a purchase, they will see your highly optimized custom Thank You page. They will be far more likely to click and search the rest of your store than if you had stayed with the default.

  • How to Fix WooCommerce Product Search Not Working

    Is the WooCommerce product search not working in your online store?

    If your WooCommerce search isn’t working correctly, users won’t be able to find the products they are looking for. This can result in a poor user experience, abandoned carts, and fewer sales.

    In this article, we will show you what to do when the WooCommerce product search is not working. We will also explain how to improve the search feature.

    Fixing the WooCommerce product search not working issue

    The Importance of WooCommerce Product Search

    Without a functional search tool, users won’t be able to browse through your product catalog and make purchases in your WooCommerce store.

    WooCommerce search not working

    This can result in frustrated customers leaving your site, which will skyrocket bounce rates and decrease profits.

    In turn, it can also damage your store’s reputation. If many people struggle to use your online store, then they may go to your competitors instead.

    The error may also cause your website SEO to suffer because search engines use the search functionality to rank websites.

    If your site has lower rankings in the search results, then fewer customers will be able to find and purchase your products online.

    By fixing the WooCommerce search feature, you can improve the customer experience, making it easier for shoppers to find what they are looking for and make more sales.

    That being said, you can follow the steps in our troubleshooting guide and learn what to do when the WooCommerce product search is not working.

    Step 1: Check With Your Hosting Provider

    The most common reason the search feature isn’t working is because of your WordPress hosting.

    The server hosting your site may not have enough resources to handle a large number of WooCommerce products at once.

    This server may also have some software restrictions that limit the amount of available memory and prevent the search feature from working correctly.

    If this is the case, then you can try contacting your hosting provider’s customer support, as this problem cannot be solved from your end. They can help you figure out if the WooCommerce search isn’t working due to the server and help you fix the issue.

    However, if the issue is not with your hosting, then you will need to move on to the next step.

    Step 2: Deactivate Plugins

    The WooCommerce product search may not be working because of an outdated or new plugin on your WordPress website that is causing some errors.

    This can happen if a plugin has bugs in its software or isn’t compatible with other plugins on your website.

    You can easily fix this issue by deactivating every plugin apart from WooCoomerce on your site.

    First, you will need to go to the Plugins » Installed Plugins page from the WordPress admin sidebar. Once you are there, just select all the activated plugins except WooCommerce from the list.

    Next, simply choose the ‘Deactivate’ option from the ‘Bulk actions’ dropdown menu and click on the ‘Apply’ button to deactivate all the plugins on your site.

    Deactivate all the plugin except WooCommerce

    Now, you can visit your website to check if this has fixed the issue.

    If it has, then simply activate the plugins one by one until you can find the one causing the error. You will then need to look for an alternative plugin or contact the developers for support.

    If deactivating plugins didn’t fix the issue, then keep reading to solve the problem.

    Step 3: Update the WooCommerce Database

    A corrupted database can be another reason that the WooCommerce search is not working.

    For instance, you may have imported a large number of products as a CSV file, which is causing a problem with the database.

    To fix this issue, you will need to update the WooCommerce database. Make sure to create a complete backup of your website before updating its database.

    First, head over to the WooCommerce » Status page from the WordPress sidebar.

    Once you are there, simply switch to the ‘Tools’ tab and click the ‘Regenerate’ button next to the ‘Product lookup tables’ option.

    Click Regenerate next to the Product Lookup Table option

    After that, scroll down to the ‘Update database’ option and just click the button next to it.

    This will update the WooCommerce plugin’s database to the latest version.

    Update the WooCommerce database

    Next, simply visit your online store to check if the issue has been resolved.

    Step 4: Check Catalog Visibility Settings

    Another reason for this problem can be that you have set the catalog visibility of your products to ‘Shop only’ or ‘Hidden’.

    With these settings, the products won’t show up in the search results in your online store.

    To check this, you need to visit the Products » All Products page from the WordPress admin sidebar and click on the ‘Edit’ link under a product name.

    Click the Edit link under the product name

    Once you are on the product page, simply click the ‘Edit’ link under the ‘Catalog visibility’ option in the ‘Publish’ section on the right.

    This will open up a list of visibility choices.

    From here, you need to make sure that the catalog visibility is set to ‘Shop and search results’.

    Choose the Shop and Search Results option from the Catalog Visibility section

    After that, click the ‘OK’ button to save your changes. Then, simply click the ‘Update’ button.

    Now visit your website to check if the WooCommerce search is working. If it isn’t, then you will need to keep reading our tutorial.

    Step 5: Reindex WooCommerce Products

    You may not have indexed your Woocomerce products properly, making the search feature inaccessible.

    To reindex the products, head to the Products » All Products page from the WordPress admin sidebar. From here, check the box at the top of the list to select all the products.

    After that, select the ‘Edit’ option from the ‘Bulk actions’ dropdown menu and click the ‘Apply’ button.

    Edit all the WooCommerce products

    This will open up the ‘Bulk Edit’ tab on the page.

    From here, simply click the ‘Update’ button to reindex all the WooCommerce products.

    Click the Update button to reindex products

    Once you have done that, you need to visit your website to test the search results.

    Improve WooCommerce Product Search With SearchWP

    If you have tried all the steps above and they haven’t fixed the product search problem, then it’s time for you to switch to a search plugin.

    This is where SearchWP comes in.

    It is the best WordPress search plugin on the market that can help you improve WooCommerce product search by automatically replacing the default WordPress search with a more powerful search feature.

    It puts you in complete control of the WordPress search algorithm and builds an index that matches search keywords in content, titles, categories, tags, shortcodes, documents, products, and more.

    SearchWP

    First, you will need to install and activate the SearchWP plugin. For more detailed instructions, see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

    Upon activation, head over to the SearchWP » Settings page from the admin sidebar and switch to the ‘General’ menu option.

    Here, you have to copy and paste the license key into the ‘License Key’ field. You can get your key from the ‘SearchWP Accounts’ page on the SearchWP website.

    After that, simply click the ‘Activate’ button.

    Enter your SearchWP license key

    Next, you have to visit the SearchWP » Extensions page from the admin sidebar.

    From here, click the ‘Install’ button under the ‘WooCommerce Integration’ extension. Upon installation, the extension will be activated automatically.

    Install WooCommerce integration extension

    Next, head over to the SearchWP » Algorithm page from the WordPress admin sidebar and click the ‘Source and Settings’ button.

    This will open a popup where you need to check the ‘Products’ option to add WooCommerce products as a search source.

    After that, click the ‘Done’ button to continue.

    Add Products as search source

    Now, if you scroll down, you will see a new ‘Products’ section added to the list of search sources.

    By default, SearchWP will look at the product title, content (description), slug, and excerpt (short description) for search matches. You can add relevance (importance) to these search attributes by moving the sliders next to them.

    For more detailed instructions, you may want to see our tutorial on how to make a smart WooCommerce product search.

    Depending on how your site is set up, you may also be able to search for other content by clicking on the ‘Add/Remove Attributes’ button.

    Add weight to search attributes

    This will open up a popup from where you can add custom fields and taxonomies to the attributes as well.

    Improve WooCommerce Product Search With Categories, Tags, SKUs, and Other Attributes

    To make your WooCommerce product search more accurate, we recommend adding categories, tags, and SKUs as search sources using SearchWP.

    Once the ‘Add/Remove Attributes’ popup appears, simply start by typing ‘SKU’ into the ‘Custom Fields’ box. For more information, we recommend reading our guide on how to enable search by product SKU in WooCommerce.

    After that, select the ‘Product categories’, ‘Product tags’, and other product attributes from the ‘Taxonomies’ dropdown menu.

    Add SKU, tag, categories, and attributes as custom fields and taxonomies

    Once you have done that, click the ‘Done’ button to save the changes.

    Now that tags, SKUs, and categories have been added as search sources, move the slider next to these options to assign weight to these attributes.

    Assign weight to the added fields

    Note: If you don’t know how to create tags, categories, and attributes for your products, please see our tutorial on how to add product tags, attributes, and categories to WooCommerce.

    After you have finished configuring settings for SearchWP, simply click the ‘Save’ button at the top.

    Now the default search box on your WooCommerce store will be automatically replaced by SearchWP.

    Click Save to store your changes

    Finally, you can visit your website to check out the new and improved WooCommerce product search box.
