Online WooCommerce Training Course
Online WooCommerce Training Course Overview
The FLOSSNet 1-day practical Online WooCommerce Training Course will equip you with knowledge and skills to build a professional online store from scratch on your harddrive complete with products, shopping cart, checkout, payment gateway, and shipping.
WooCommerce can also be set up as a catalogue with no prices and no checkout. You will receive an e-mail with the products customers are interested in, at which point you can send them an order/invoice.
We assume you start the course with no prior e-commerce experience, programming, or technical skills.
WooCommerce is a free plugin that you install on your WordPress website. There is no monthly fee.
This course is conducted in partnership with The Website Hoster
Course Bonus
We will assist you with synchronising your online shop and product data with Google. In doing so, your products will become available for both free listings on the Shopping tab and Google Shopping Ads.
That means that your catalogue will be available to shoppers when they search on Google Shopping.
You must take us up on this offer within two month after having attended the course. After the two months, there will be a charge of R1500.00 if you require assistance.
We will sign you up for free to our Self-Paced WooCommerce Training Course, so you can learn at your own pace.
