Install WooCommerce

Willow is fully compatible with WooCommerce and includes built-in styling and layout options designed for online stores.

Step 1: Install the WooCommerce plugin

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard → Plugins → Add New
2. Search for WooCommerce
3. Click Install Now, then Activate

After activation, WooCommerce will open a setup wizard where you can configure store basics like location, currency, payments, and shipping. You can always update these settings later from WooCommerce → Settings.

Step 2: Verify WooCommerce pages

WooCommerce automatically creates the essential pages needed for your store:

• Shop
• Cart
• Checkout
• My Account

To confirm they are assigned correctly, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced.

Import Shop Demo (Dummy Content)

Willow includes ready-made WooCommerce demo content to help you quickly set up a shop that looks like the live demos. Importing the shop demo will automatically create sample products, categories, pages, and layouts.

Before You Import

• Make sure WooCommerce is installed and activated
• Do not import demo content on a live production site unless you know what you are doing
• We recommend importing demos on a fresh WordPress installation

Importing the Shop Demo

1. Go to Willow Theme → Demo Import
2. Select a demo that includes a shop layout
3. Choose Full Website Import or Shop-related pages (if available)
4. Click Import and wait for the process to finish

The importer will automatically set up:

• Sample products
• Product categories and tags
• Shop, Cart, Checkout, and My Account pages
• Theme and WooCommerce settings used in the demo

After Import

Once the import is complete, review your store settings:

• Go to WooCommerce → Settings and configure payments, shipping, and taxes
• Replace demo products with your own real products
• Remove any demo content you don’t need

Tip Demo products are meant for layout and styling reference only. Always replace them with your own product data before launching your store.
