WooCommerce

WooCommerce powers all e-commerce functionality on KIJO sites — products, orders, customers, coupons, and store settings. It’s robust, widely supported, and highly extendable.

📦  Managing Products

1. Log in to WordPress.
2. Go to Products in the left-hand menu.
3. Click Add New to create a product or hover → Edit to modify one.

Key product types:

• Simple Product – straightforward items with a single price.
• Variable Product – products with variations (size, colour, options).
• Grouped / External – more advanced setups used only when required.

Important fields:

• Title & Description – what customers see on the product page.
• Product Data Panel – prices, inventory, shipping, variations.
• Product Image / Gallery – the main visuals.
• Categories & Tags – used for filtering and shop navigation.

🛍️  Managing Orders

Orders can be viewed under WooCommerce → Orders.

Each order has a status:

• Pending – unpaid
• Processing – payment received; needs fulfilment
• Completed – order fulfilled
• Cancelled / Refunded – self-explanatory

You can update order statuses manually, add notes, or resend email receipts.

💳  Coupons

Found under Marketing → Coupons.

You can create percentage discounts, fixed discounts, free shipping, or code-specific promotions.

⚙️ Best Practices

• Keep product images optimised — large images slow the store down.
• Always test a purchase flow after major changes.
• Avoid unnecessary plugins; they slow checkout and create conflicts.
• Keep WooCommerce updated, but only after testing on staging.
