How does WordPress release products

The default WordPress content management only supports page and article , does not include product content, and how should enterprise websites operate on WordPress when they need to publish products? Here is how to publish and manage products in WordPress.

Several methods for WordPress to release products

If you want to release products on WordPress, dads have the following methods:

1. Install e-commerce plug-ins, such as WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads
2. Publish using Portfolio
3. Use pages to publish
4. Use articles to publish

Launch products through WooCommerce

WooCommerce is the most famous e-commerce plug-in on the WordPress platform. Although it is mainly used to sell products online, it can also be used as a simple product display for B2B websites.

First, in the WordPress background, add in, search for WooCommerce and install and activate it.

Then you can see the products in the background menu. Set the product classification first, and then you can add new products.

When creating a product, the product price is not filled in the product data section. After the product is released, there will be no B2C related functions such as shopping cart and price.

Use Portfolio to publish products

WooCommerce has certain requirements for server performance. If your website theme itself is bulky and the host performance is not high, you will obviously feel that the website has changed after releasing some products through WooCommerce. So many people also use Portfolio to release products.

Portfolio is usually the content management of the theme in this format. For example, Avada can also implement WordPress to publish and manage products by installing the Portfolio plug-in separately.

The advantage of this method is that it is faster than WooCommerce. The disadvantage is that it is not as flexible and compatible as WooCommerce. Especially for products whose themes are published in the form of Portfolio, when you change the theme, the new theme will not be able to display your Portfolio data. Basically, the old theme will be used.

Use pages and products to publish products

This method is only suitable for websites where the number of your products is relatively small and your products are more service oriented and customized.

Its principle is to design page content in the form of articles or pages.

This method is not suitable for publishing regular products or a certain number of products. Later management will be troublesome and it is easy to give people a sense of being unprofessional.

If your products are few and not regular products, it is better to use pages to create product pages than articles. Compared with using WooCommerce and Portfolio to publish products, it is more conducive to SEO optimization.

The above are the ways that Daddy shared with you to release products in WordPress. We recommend that you use WooCommerce to manage products first.
