Setting Up Your WordPress Site

Before you start selling on your WordPress website, you need to set up your site. This includes registering a domain name, which is the web address visitors will use to access your site. You also need to purchase a hosting plan, which provides your site with the necessary resources to be online. You should consider using Bluehost, a popular and officially recommended hosting provider by WordPress.org, as it offers affordable plans and discounts.

Selling Products on WordPress Without WooCommerce

While WooCommerce is a popular and powerful plugin for creating online stores, it’s not the only option for selling products. You can sell on WordPress without WooCommerce by using alternative plugins tailored to specific needs.

Method 1: Selling Digital Downloads Using Easy Digital Downloads

Easy Digital Downloads is an excellent plugin for selling digital downloads such as eBooks, music, or PDFs. Install and activate the plugin, then configure settings like your business information, currency, and payment gateways. Create a new download by adding a name, selecting a category, adding tags, and embedding an image. You can also upload your digital file and set a price for the download.

Method 2: Selling Subscriptions With WP Simple Pay

WP Simple Pay is a great plugin for selling subscriptions or personal services. It offers a visual builder and premade templates and integrates with multiple payment gateways. Install and activate the plugin, then connect it with your Stripe account. Use the premade payment form template to create a payment form. You can customize the form by adding fields like email address, price selector, payment methods, and more. For subscriptions, set a price and choose a billing period.

Method 3: Selling Limited Physical Products Using WPForms

If you’re looking to sell a small number of physical products, WPForms is a good option. This popular contact form plugin offers a drag-and-drop builder and integrates with payment gateways like PayPal. Create a new form and choose a template. Add the names and prices of your products. Select the PayPal Standard payment gateway and add your account details. Embed the form on the page where you want to sell your products.
