If you\u2019re unsure about which payment gateway you want to use, you can decide this later.<\/p>\n<p>There are readily available themes in WooCommerce. When you\u2019re considering a theme, be sure to check <em>all<\/em> WooCommerce pages \u2013 not just the shop page. This includes the \u2018My Account\u2019 section, the cart, and the checkout page.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> first thing to do<\/strong> is to add some products! These are the things you\u2019ll be selling. Go to <strong>Products\u00a0\u2192 Add New<\/strong>\u00a0and you\u2019ll be taken to the product page. It\u2019s similar to adding posts or pages, but specifically for WooCommerce products.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Payment Gateway<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unless you\u2019re giving your products away for free, you\u2019ll need to take payments! To do this you\u2019ll need something called a payment gateway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">WooCommerce comes with a couple of payment gateways built in, including PayPal.
