Maintaining & Running a Successful Online WooCommerce Store

This will be a type of case study for an interesting website on WordPress and WooCommerce. It will not be intense coding but a basic knowledge of WordPress and WooCommerce. The case study is based on our 2016 launched website that has reached R 1 million sales on a WordPress and WooCommerce site in 1 year September 2016 (launch month) – September 2017, and then did another million in the next 7 months again.
“Our website has some products that have over 120 variations on 1 product= 123 Variants is our biggest product. Basically I can pack out an entire room or 2 rooms’ floors using only the same 1 product in different colours and sizes. Coverage of the following:

  • Basics you need to build an online store
  • Implementing integrations like Facebook,Mailchimp on WordPress ( and why we do it)
  • Maintaining and running the store.
  • Using paid memberships pro and running parallel sales with Dynamic Pricing for public,gold members and wholesalers.

So this will be about running a successful store using WooCommerce. Tips about what to do, what not to do. Tips on what to use, how to market, how to provide excellent customer service, and provide a remarkable shopper experience online.
Some more topics I’ll cover.

  • Simplifying the website layout, using new tools and old tools.
  • The advantages of a UX Builder in your theme.
  • Integrations of MailChimp, PayFast, i-pay and several other.
  • The challenges we faced with over 8000 products.
  • Hosting solutions and problems we faced, etc.

Those are some of the information. It can be a case study what we used and how we made it successful.
This topic can be beneficial for both developers and users.
I believe that developers sometimes need to see what the cosmetic side of what they do should look like too, and how to provide a great customer experience by simplifying the look of the website for your ‘average joe’ to navigate it.
