  Process.

  manage, such as customer service, inventory
  management, marketing, website updates, SEO, and
  order satisfaction, to name a few.

  crucial mistakes to avoid with WooCommerce
  development.

• 10 Biggest Woocommerce Development Mistakes you
  can easily avoid
• 1. Running an old version of Woocommerce
• WooCommerce distributes a new small version every
  six months. They updated ten days ago the version
  3.5.1.
• WooThemes and most third-party WooCommerce
  development companies support the present version
  of WooCommerce and one before that which means
  if you run an older version, you cant get
  support with the plugins.
• We recommend testing your store on every single
  install with the latest version of WooCommerce
  whenever it is released.
• Then when testing permits, you can install the
  new version in your production environment.
• A WooCommerce Development Company in the USA or
  any other nations can better do this process.

• 2. Not Keeping Plugins Up to Date
• Two perils exist when running old, unconfirmed
  versions of plugins.
• First of all, there might be security issues that
  were found and repaired in the latest version.
• Running old code leaves your website uncovered.
• Next, if youre using a plugin to incorporate
  WooCommerce with a service such as payment
  gateway or delivery method and the salesperson
  changes the way websites link to them, your site
  will stop working.
• You can repeat the stages of testing a new plugin
  in a staging environment then installing on
  production after it permits tests.
• 3. Overlooking the System Status Report
• Some system misconfigurations might cause worry
  for your site.
• The WooCommerce plugin comprises a beneficial
  System Status report that lists numerous facts
  about your site.

• Topics comprise PHP version, web server version,
  versions of plugins, availability of core
  functions, and presently active theme.
• Items that usually cause worry are color coded
  with red. Each step that in red will have a
  clarification of what the exact problem is.
• WooThemes also has an accessible guide to knowing
  the WooCommerce System Status Report. Further,
  you can take the assistance of a WooCommerce
  development company from the USA or any other
  country to get the guidance and update with the
  report.
• Dont overlook the System Status Report and make
  sure the whole thing is green on this page to
  make sure your store is working correctly.
• 4. Not Setting Specific Selling Locations
• After the eagerness of launch day, after the
  first orders pull in, and after you happily order
  more products, thats when it occurs.
• A purchase order comes in from a nation that you
  dimly know where in the world it is situated, but
  you surely dont know how to deliver products
  there.

7

• Next comes to the process of informing the
  consumer that they wont be receiving the
  products they ordered and refunding the money
  collected.
• To evade this hassle be sure to set which nations
  you will do business with using WooCommerce
  platform by following these steps Selling
  Location(s) option on the Settings gt General
  tab.
• Further, you can also take help from WooCommerce
  developers in India or your preferred nations to
  make these necessary settings.
• A connected setting is the Restrict shipping to
  Location(s) setting on the Settings gt Shipping
  tab that will confine the nations on the billing
  pages and shipping forms.
• 5. Losing on the Tip to Invite Customers on the
  Mailing List
• Its a continuous challenge for eCommerce stores
  to obtain customers to their site, and an even
  more significant problem is to get customers to
  buy.
• After these challenges, wouldnt it be the best
  to have customers call you to contact them with
  information about your shop and products?

8

• Keeping in touch with customers and WooCommerce
  experts has made everything more manageable by
  prompting them to join your mailing list with an
  option on your checkout page.
• Customers wont be any better off than when they
  are handing over their money for products. Hence,
  its the best time to ask them to join your list.
• Once they opt into your list, you can then start
  sending them emails about promotional offers,
  products, and other news that keeps your store
  and the eagerness of their buying at the vanguard
  of your consumers minds.
• Hiring WooCommerce development from India or the
  nation you prefer is the better option to provide
  a right WooCommerce guidance.
• 6. Not Using Branded Emails
• Maintaining consistent branding all over your
  site is imperative for an uninterrupted
  high-quality presentation of your store.
• One part that might get ignored is the design of
  emails.
• By default, WooCommerce is available with nine
  templates that it sends.

9

• Each email is in an HTML email format and has
  default designing added.
• In the Emails segment of the WooCommerce admin
  area, the store owner can set a header image,
  alter email headers, change colors, and add
  footer text.
• Updating these settings is the simple least that
  must be done.
• To go up and above for your business and
  customers you can use the WooCommerce Email
  Customizer to modify the way your emails look.
• The WooCommerce plugin eases the task of
  designing your emails.
• At the same time when you choose an eCommerce
  website development company, you will get to know
  the whole things about it.
• 7. Not Having a Pre-sales Channel
• No matter how comprehensive a product page is,
  consumers might have questions before they are
  set to buy.
• Having a pre-sales network on your site can help
  to provide customers responses and build trust
  with quick and informative answers.

10

• Pre-sales network can be a real form that
  customers fill out, a live chat system, or a
  phone number.
• These options are scheduled in order of enhancing
  commitment by the store owner and reducing
  friction for the customer.
• Make it as easy as you are contented with for the
  customers to stay in touch to find out about your
  products.
• You can go for a reliable eCommerce development
  company that offers an array of WooCommerce
  development services and comprehensive
  WooCommerce website design options.
• 8. Not Having a Secure Site
• A significant step to growing self-confidence in
  your online store for your customers is covering
  the critical elements with an SSL certificate.
• My Account and Checkout page are some of the
  significant areas to safely using HTTPS.

11

• Tech-savvy buyers will check it twice or thrice
  before they finally make the payment if the store
  is secure or not.
• In addition to customers negative replies to an
  insecure site, recently Google announced that
  websites using HTTPS would only be considered for
  the ranking.
• You can wave it off now, but it is an important
  aspect to consider to make your site in a search
  engine friendly way.

  Mistakes that can cost higher than its
  Development cost
• 9. Not Displaying Your Uniqueness
• USP or Unique Selling Proposition is something
  that makes your product greater than other
  products.
• Just naming your product and listing what it
  does, might not be sufficient for customers to be
  persuaded or for search engines to distinguish
  your products from other products.
• Using unique product descriptions that show an
  obvious USP can set your products apart from the
  competition and involve customers.
• Naturally, for you, it is better to hire a
  WooCommerce developer that offers a wide range of
  WooCommerce customization services at
  cost-effective prices.

12

• 10. Not Offering Free Shipping
• High delivery costs for products are a buzzkill
  for an online customer. In spite of finishing the
  party at the Calculate Shipping form, offer
  customers Free Shipping with a minimum order
  whole.
• Get in touch with top eCommerce development
  companies and eCommerce development company in
  the USA or your preferred zone so, they can
  guide you adequately.
• Customers will be motivated to click the minimum
  order to earn Free Shipping and will be happy to
  be obtaining something for free.
• Conclusion
• We hope this list of kits to avoid when selling
  with WooCommerce will surely assist your store to
  achieve more sales and gladder customers.
• Along with that, it is always recommended to hire
  WooCommerce website development company in India
  or your nearest country that can offer a
  comprehensive set of WooCommerce development
  services to make your WooCommerce site more
  beneficial and valuable.
