After installing the WooCommerce plugin then need setup WooCommerce Wizard.

WooCommerce Setup Wizard

Having a customizable e-commerce platform means that there are a lot of available settings to tweak. The Setup Wizard takes you through all the necessary steps to set up your store and get it ready to start selling!

Welcome to WooCommerce

Immediately after activating the plugin, you are taken to the Setup Wizard. You can use the wizard, or skip it and set up everything manually.

The first page asks you:

• Location and currency of your store
• What type of goods you plan to sell
• Whether you sell goods and services in person

Payment

There are a few possible scenarios, depending on:

• Where your store is located
• How you answered the question about selling goods and services in person

If you did NOT tick the box for selling in person, you are shown Stripe and PayPal:

If you did tick the box for selling in person – and you live in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan or the UK – you are shown Square, PayPal, and Stripe.

If you are located in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, or the UK, you are also shown Klarna as a payment option.

If you are located in Australia or New Zealand, you are also shown eWAY as a payment option.

If you are located in South Africa, you are also shown Payfast as a payment option.

Choose how you want to be paid by sliding buttons on/off. All payment gateways offered as in Setup Wizard are free plugins that are auto-installed and activated, if selected.*

• Klarna allows you to take payments, if your store is located in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, or the U.S. and UK. More at: Klarna Payments.
