Hi guys!
I'm Shyam from Website Learners.com
Today I am going to show you,
how you can create an Ecommerce website
from start to finish.
Okay!
So first, let's see the website we're going to build.
So here it is.
After watching this video,
you will be able to make a website,
which has products like these
and then we're going to create pages like these.
And people will be able to add your products to their carts.
and they will be able to pay you, through your website
and buy products from your site.
So let's get started.
its going to be very simple.
We're going to make our ecommerce site in 4 parts.
The 1st Part is to Launching Your Website
Now this is where you get a new website, Live - on the internet.
So to launch your website, we're going to do 3 steps.
The 1st step, is to choose your website name.
Now to choose the name, just click the link below this video.
So i'm going to click this link
and it will take you to this page.
Now enter the name you want in this box.
So i'm going to enter tryshirts.com
and click 'check availability'
So now you can see that this name is available.
So once you get your name, you can go to the next step,
which is to get your hosting & domain.
So hosting is the place, where your website's files are stored
and domain is your website's name.
So to get your hosting and this domain name,
just scroll down this page
and click 'get hosting'.
Now it will take you to this page where we're going to get
our hosting & domain.
So to get it,
just click get started.
Now enter the same name which you selected before
and click 'search'.
Then click 'select & continue'
Now to get this domain and hosting,
we need to create a new account.
So let's click here
and then fill up these details
and click create account.
Now, here you can see that we're getting our domain,
which is tryshirts.com,
and our hosting.
Now both of these are going to be valid for 1 year,
which means once we place this order, your website will be live
on the internet for the next 1 year.
So, now let's go ahead & make the payment.
Just choose your payment method,
enter your details
and then make the payment.
So, now we've successfully made the payment,
and we've got
our domain and hosting.
So once you've got your domain and hosting,
you can now go to final step of launching your website,
which is to install Wordpress.
Now, Wordpress is the tool, we're going to use, to build our
ecommerce website.
Wordpress lets you build websites easily
without any coding or programming.
So, let's see how to install Wordpress.
To install wordpress, all you have to do is click 'Add site'.
Then enter a username and password for Wordpress
and click 'add'.
And now wordpress will be installed on your new domain,
which is trishirts.com.
Okay! So Wordpress is now installed
and this means, your website will Now be LIVE
on the internet.
So to check it, let's go to our website.
We'll open a new tab.
Now if we type tryshirts.com,
and press enter,
you can see that,
we have a brand new website,
on the name which we selected.
So, this is how you can launch, your website on the internet.
So once you have launched your website,
you can now go to part 2 of this tutorial,
which is to Start Building Your Ecommerce site
Now, instead of Building your ecommerce site from scratch,
we're going to first import a sample ecommerce site.
And then we're going to edit it, to make our own site.
So, this is going to really speed-up the process
and will let you build your site in a much faster way.
So, to import the sample site,
we're going to do 2 steps.
First we're going to login to our website.
So to login to your website,
all you have to do is,
type /login after your site's address.
Now press enter
and it will take you to the login page of your website.
Now enter the login details, which you selected for
wordpress
and then click login.
So, now we've successfully logged in to our wordpress site.
So this is the place, where you can control your website.
So once you've logged in, we can now go to step 2 of importing
the sample site, which is to install a theme in wordpress.
So we're going to install a theme called 'astra',
which is going to let us import the sample site.
So to install the theme,
just go to 'appearance'
and click 'themes'.
Now click 'add new theme'
and then search for a theme called 'astra'
Now this is the theme which is going to let us
import the sample site.
So to install the theme, just click 'install'.
And then 'activate' the theme.
So, now we've installed the astra theme.
Next, to import the sample site,
just click 'astra' options
and here you can see that
we have an option called "import starter site".
So to import a site, first click 'install importer'
and then click 'see library'.
Now once you're on this page, just select 'Elementor',
which will make it easier for you
to edit your site in future.
So, we'll select that.
And now as we're going to build an ecommerce site,
just click 'ecommerce'
and then choose this site, called the 'brand store'.
So, let's click here.
And here you can see a preview of
how your site is going to look,
once you import this sample site.
So to import this site into your site,
just click 'install plugins'
and click 'import this site'.
So now the sample site has been imported.
So let's see how our site looks.
Now if we go to this tab,
you can see that, this is how our site was before.
It was completely empty.
Now if we click 'refresh',
you can see that we have got the entire ecommerce site,
into our site.
Now this is the fully working ecommerce site,
which means if we click on a product here,
you can see the details about the product
and you can add it to cart.
And then, we can view the cart,
and then we can also proceed to checkout.
So we get all of these options right after
we import the sample site.
So now we have successfully imported
our sample ecommerce site.
Okay!
So once you have imported the sample site,
we can now go to Part 3,
where we see how you can start using this e-commerce site.
So to start using our ecommerce site,
we're going to first set up our store.
Our store is the place, where your customers can see your products
and then purchase them.
So once you set up your store,
your site will have your own products.
and your visitors will be able to buy those products.
So let's go to our store
and you can see that we have these sample products.
Now to set up our store, we're going to do 4 steps.
The 1st step is to delete all of these sample products.
So to delete them, let's go to our dashboard
and then click 'Products'.
And here you can see all the sample products,
which we have here.
Now to delete the sample products,
just click here,
to select all the products
and then click here,
select 'Move to trash'
and click apply.
So now we've deleted all the sample products.
So now if we go to our store and click refresh,
you can see that all the products have been removed.
Once you've removed all the sample products,
next let's see how you can add your own product.
Now to add your own product,
just go back to your products page.
and click 'add new'.
Now to add a new product,
all you have to do is,
Enter the product name
it's price
and some details about the product.
So first, let's enter the product name.
I want to sell a tshirt, so I'm going to enter that.
And here, I'm going to enter the price.
and then some details about the product.
Okay, so once, you've added these details,
you can now, add your product image.
So to add the image, just click 'set product image'
and then drag & drop your image from your computer.
And as you can see, Your image has been added
So now we have added all the details about the product.
So let's click publish
and now if we click our store page,
you can see that we have our product.
Now if we click on this product,
You can see that,
we can now add this product to our cart.
So now we have successfully added our product.
So you can add any number of products you want
in the same way.
So to add a product all you have to do is
just go to products
and click 'add new'.
Okay!
So, next let's go to the 3rd step of setting up our store,
which is to change our currency.
Now here you can see that, we have a different currency.
Now to change this currency to rupee
just go to your dashboard
and then, go to woocommerce
and click 'settings'
now this is where you can change all the settings,
related to your store.
Now to change your currency,
just scroll down this page
and here you'll find the currency option.
now to change this to rupee
just click here
and then type India
and select this option.
Now click save changes.
and now if we go to our product page
and click refresh
you can see that our product price is now shown in 'Rupees'.
So now we have successfully changed our currency.
And we have completed the third step of setting up our store.
So next let's go to the 4th step,
which is to setup our payment method.
Now if we try to buy this product by clicking 'Add to cart'
and then click proceed to checkout
you can see that it says "no payment methods are available".
So in order to allow your customers
to pay for your products
you need to setup your "payment method".
So, to set up, we are going to create a free account on a
website called 'instamojo'.
So once you create this account, you'll be able to receive
payments directly to your bank account, when someone purchases,
your product.
So to create your account,
just go back to website learners
and then scroll down to step 4.
And click 'Create Free Account'.
And it will take you to this page
Now just click 'sign up'
And then enter your email and password.
And click ' sign up'.
Now choose the type of business you have
And select 'No' here
and click next.
Now, once you reach here,
you need to enter your bank details,
where you want to receive your payments.
So you need to enter your bank's account number,
and then click 'Find IFSC'
Now select your bank details.
And click 'use'
So now when someone buys a product from your site,
that money will be sent to this account.
So once you've entered these details,
just click 'create account'.
And now we have successfully created our Instamojo Account.
And now your customers can use any of these payment methods
to pay for your products.
So, let's click 'go to dashboard'
Now how do we connect this account with our website
Now to let customers make payments on your site,
you need to connect this account with your website.
So to connect it
let's go to our wordpress dashboard.
and then go to plugins
and click 'add new'
and now we need to install the instamojo plugin on our website.
So just search for 'instamojo'
and you'll get this plugin.
now to install it, just click install.
and click 'activate'
So now we have installed the instamojo plug-in
on our website.
Now to connect this account with your site,
just click settings
and now, you need to get these details from instamojo,
So to get these details, just go here
and click API & plugins.
and click 'create new credentials'
Now Click here
and select wordpress from this list.
Then click 'generate credentials'
and instamojo will give you these details.
Now, all you have to do, is to copy these details,
and then paste it here.
So let's copy
and then paste it.
and click save changes.
Now as soon as you click "save changes"
your instamojo account, will be connected with your website.
So this means our payment setup is now complete.
So we've successfully setup our payment method
and now your customers can not only view your products,
they can now buy them.
So next let's try buying a product from our site
So just like a customer would do,
we will go to our store
and then add the product to our cart.
Now let's click view cart
and click "proceed to checkout"
you can see that
instead of the error message, we can now pay online
So just like a customer would do,
If we enter our details
And click place order
You can see that we have different options,
to make payments.
So let's say the customer wants to pay with their Debit Card,
they can click here
and then enter the details
and click pay.
now if we enter the OTP
and click 'submit',
you can see that the payment has been made
and we have ordered the product.
Okay!
So this is how a customer can buy a product from your site
So now you know how your customers can buy
products from your site.
Now, what happens when someone orders your product?
How do you know, that you've got an order?
Now as soon as someone buys a product from your site,
if you go to your inbox,
now this is inbox of the email
you entered while creating your site
Once you go to your inbox
You can see that, we have received 2 emails.
the 1st email is from our 'wordpress website',
and the 2nd one is from instamojo
So if we open the 1st email from wordpress,
You can see that we have all the details about the order
So we have the name of the product,
which the customer has ordered
and, their address.
Now if we go back
and open the 2nd mail,
you can see that instamojo confirms,
that we've received the payment.
So this is how you can know,
when someone orders your product.
And once you get this email, you can go ahead
and deliver the product to your customer.
So now you know how you can track,
new orders placed on your site.
But what about your customer?
How can they view and track their order?
So next, let's see how your customer can view their order
after making a purchase.
So let's go to the customer's inbox,
So this is the customer's inbox.
Now, once a customer has ordered a product from your site,
their account will be automatically created.
And now If the customer goes to their inbox,
they'll get one email, with their order details
and another email, with the details of their account.
So if we open this email,
here, you can see that the customer has got the password,
Which they can use to login to your site.
So after placing an order if the customer wishes to
login back to your site,
all they have to do is
go to your site
and click 'account'.
And now they'll be able to login back to your site.
So they need to just enter their email
and the password, which they received in their email.
So let's go back to the inbox
and then copy this password
and paste it here.
And now if they click login,
you can see that the customer can view all of their orders,
they've placed on your site.
And now if we go to "Addresses",
they can even update their address.
So this is how your customers,
can view their orders on your site.
Now let's go back to our store
Okay!
So now we've successfully completed setting up our store.
And this means anyone who is visiting your site
will now able to buy your products
