Instagram isn’t just for food pics and cute puppy videos any more—it’s practically a digital mall.

And guess what?

Over 54% of users end up buying something they see there.

You know what that means: your products should be front and center.

And all it takes is setting up an Instagram product feed for your WooCommerce store. It’s easier than convincing yourself you don’t need another pair of shoes after scrolling through Instagram.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact process that smart WooCommerce owners use to drive traffic and boost sales.

Let’s jump in.

What is Instagram Product Feed?

A WooCommerce Instagram Product feed is a spreadsheet containing all your product information, including titles, prices, categories, tags, descriptions, and more.

For example, an Instagram product feed for WooCommerce could be a simple Excel spreadsheet, and you can enter your product data with titles like ID, title, description, link, condition, price, etc.

Attributes Of Instagram Product Feed

Knowing Instagram Product Feed’s terms will help you understand the process better.

Instagram Feed Attributes For Woocommerce

Here’s a list of things you should know:

Product ID: A special number every item has to make it easy to find and keep track of.

Title: A heading to describe the product clearly so everyone knows exactly what it is.

Description: A brief paragraph containing all the important info so buyers can make a decision.

Product URL: This is the link that takes you right to the product on any website.

Image URL: This is the web address for the picture of a product on a website.

Availability: To let your customers know if it’s in stock or not so they know what to expect.

Condition: To tell buyers if the product you are selling is brand new, gently used, or refurbished.

Manufacturer – This is the name of the company that makes the product you are selling. If you are the one making the product, just put your company name here. If you have different brand names for different products, you’ll need to save that info somewhere else and then use it here.

GTIN(Global Trade Item Number)– This is a special number that helps identify your product. It helps Google show your products to more people. The GTIN number is given to you by the company that makes the product. If you don’t have this number, just leave the field blank. Don’t put in a random number!

MPN (Manufacturer Part Number)– This is a unique number for each product as a product identification number given by the manufacturer.

Google Product Category – This is about matching up your product categories with Google’s categories.

Each platform on Meta, like Instagram Shop, has different requirements for attributes than other platforms.

Make sure you check the specific guidelines for the Instagram platform before creating your product feed.

Create an Instagram Product Feed for Your WooCommerce Store

Let’s now create an Instagram Product Feed for the WooCommerce Store.

I am using the free version of the plugin product feed manager for Woocommerce to demonstrate the process step-by-step.

Make sure you have installed Woocommerce on your WordPress site.

Go to your Dashboard> Plugins> Add new plugin.

Type ‘Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce‘ in the search bar and hit enter.

The plugin will pop up in the search results for you to install. Click on the button install.

That’s all. The product feed manager for WooCommerce is installed on your site.

Step 1: Create New Feed & Feed Mapping

Head over to your product feeds dashboard.

Find the button that says Add New Feed and give it a click.

This will bring you to the page where you can create your feed.

At the top, you can choose a title for your feed. Think of a name that aligns with your brand identity to give your feed!

Choose the merchant you want to use.

I am going to pick Instagram.

All the important details are shown below.

You’ll see that many details are already set up for you, but you might need to adjust a few things. Feel free to change anything you need to.

For Instagram, there are a couple of details that need to be fixed.

Manufacturer – This is the name of the company that makes the product you are selling.
GTIN – The GTIN number is given to you by the company that makes the product
MPN– The MPN number is a special code of a product given by the company that made it.
Google Product Category– This is about matching up your product categories with Google’s categories.

Now, let’s map the Google product category.

You can do category mapping in two ways. You can use a category mapper that’s already set up for Google Shopping, which you can also use for Instagram. Or you can create your category mapper.

For the first one,

Scroll down on the attribute list, you will find the Google product category attribute at the end.

choose google product category attribute

Click on the assigned value option beside the Google product category attribute. Click on the edit button on the right. Then click on the assign value button shown in the image :

select assign value option in google category in PFM

As you can see, a scroll-down list will come up, from here select the Google product category[default] option.

As you select it, you see a blue write-up “configure category mapping” below the selected assigned value.

Click on the Configure Category Mapping button which you will find under the Category Mapping value, and a new tab will be opened with the default category mapper – Google Product Category.

Map your categories here and click on the Update and Close button to go back to the attribute section.

However, you can create a new Category Mapper too. You need to click on the Category Mapping button from the WordPress dashboard and there you will get the option to create a new Category Mapper and to configure the mapper.

You can follow this doc to learn how to create a new Category Mapper for your feed.

Now, you need to choose the feed type. Click on the Feed Type labeled box and all the available types will come.

Just so you know, Instagram can handle XML, CSV, and TSV feeds. You can pick which type of feed you want from the dropdown menu. CSV is usually the best choice.

Step 2: Feed Configuration

Go back to the top of the page and you’ll see four choices.

Documentatie
Problemen oplossen
Product Filter
Instellingen

Let’s start by setting up the Product Settings.

Click on the Product Settings button, and a menu will pop out from the right side of the screen.

The first thing you’ll see is Auto-Generate Your Feed.

This lets you schedule when your feed updates automatically.

Choose a time interval or select “No interval” if you don’t want it to update on its own.

Now,

Close the menu and click on Product Filter. Another menu will pop out from the right side.

You can choose which products to include in your feed.

You can include all your products, or use filters Category Filter, and Tag Filter to select specific products.

If you want to add a custom filter, on the right side you can click on the add custom filter.

Here’s an example,

All of it you can do in the free version. For a simple feed, that’s enough.

If you want to add any Feed Rule, you can take the pro version.

Here’s how you can set up Feed Rules,

Learn more about Feed Rules from this doc. ->

Step 3: Publish The Instagram Product Feed for WooCommerce

Alright, now that you’ve set up your feed just the way you want it, it’s time to publish it!

Just go back up to the top of the page and look for the big button that says “Publish” on the right side.

Now that you’ve met the prerequisites, you’re ready to connect your Woocommerce store:

Now,

Log in to your Woocommerce store’s WordPress dashboard.
Go to “Plugins” and click on “Add New“.

Click on Connect to Instagram and then just follow the instructions to give your store permission to connect to your Instagram Business Account.
Once everything is connected, your products will automatically show up on both your Woocommerce store and Instagram

Reasons To Avoid Manual WooCommerce Instagram Feed Creation

To create a WooCommerce Instagram Product Feed Manually, You need to organize the data of all of your products in a spreadsheet.

You can use Google Sheets or Excel for this.

You have to make sure to put each detail in a separate column at the top of the spreadsheet.

It’s kind of like filling out a long form! Which is very TIME CONSUMING!

If you have a big online store with lots of products, it’s not a good idea to manually create a data feed.

Another important thing for online stores is running sales and offering discounts. This means you’ll need to change your product prices often.

For example, if you’re having a Black Friday sale, you’ll need to update your prices for that specific time.

If you’re selling your products on different platforms, like Instagram, it’s crucial to keep everything in sync.

This means you need to update prices and sale details everysheet your products listed.

Managing all this manually can be a real headache.

Every time you make a change to your store, you’ll have to update all your product feeds with the latest info and upload them to every platform.

That’s why my suggestion is to use a Product Feed plugin.

You can SURELY choose the Product Feed Manager For Woocommerce that I have demonstrated here.

In the free version, you can generate product feed for up to 200 products per feed.

With this plugin, you can generate the feed in 3 simple and easy steps. It also takes much less time than manual setup.

If you are satisfied with the result, you can upgrade to the pro version and use this plugin to the full extent.

Benefits of Integrating Your Woocommerce Store With Instagram

81% of consumers trust a brand that has a strong brand identity.

By linking WooCommerce & Instagram together, you can create a strong brand identity that will help you attract more customers.

There are some more insightful data regarding Instagram marketing–

Instagram has 2 billion active monthly users, which means if you integrate your Woocommerce store you get massive traffic and increase your brand visibility.
Instagram has been gaining a ton of new users every year, around 70 million to be exact. This has been happening since 2020 and it’s been staying pretty steady.

When you connect your WooCommerce store to Instagram, you open the door to a more interactive shopping experience for your customers. Here’s what you gain:

Increased Product Visibility: Showcase your products to millions of potential buyers on Instagram’s visually-driven platform.
Seamless Shopping Experience: Customers can browse and purchase directly from Instagram without leaving the app.
Real-Time Product Updates: Automatically sync inventory, prices, and descriptions for accurate product listings.
Boosted Engagement: Tagging products in posts and stories encourages more interaction and click-throughs.
Improved Sales Insights: Access Instagram’s analytics to track performance and refine your marketing strategy.

That means you can have a high growth rate if you integrate and market on Instagram properly.

Getting Started With WooCommerce Products on Instagram

To get these benefits, get started promoting your products on Instagram.

Just do it the right way so that you can save your time.

The manual process of creating an Instagram product feed is highly challenging.

As you can see, you have more work left to promote on Instagram like

Connecting it with your WooCommerce store
Researching trending hashtags
Work on graphics or product images and more.

It’s better just to use a plugin to create an Instagram product feed.

You can simply generate it the way I’ve shown you with the Product Feed Manager For Woocommerce.

1 Comment on Top 3 Panoramic Camera Apps for Your iPhone

Panoramic pictures are super popular right now in the area of photography & VR.

Panoramic photography is way easier with an iPhone.

And the best part is, you don’t need any other fancy equipment to try it out with your iPhone.

Even though your iPhone is equipped with a built-in panoramic camera, it can be quite challenging to use on its own to capture high-quality panoramic images, which is why using an iPhone panorama app can make a big difference.

With panoramic apps, you can take panoramic photos right on your iPhone without even having to move it around.

You don’t have to buy a tripod or expensive pieces of equipment either!

You can also use a panoramic camera app for Android if you are an Android user.

But in this article, we’ll look at 3 of the best panoramic camera apps for iPhone

Also at the end of the blog, I provide you guidelines on how you can create virtual tours easily with your panoramic photos and revisit virtually.

Dus laten we beginnen.

Why Use A Panoramic Camera App Instead Of iPhone’s Built-in Panoramic Camera?

The built-in panoramic camera that the iPhone comes with has a lot of limitations and it becomes way more challenging if you want to take panoramic photos.

Here are side-by-side comparisons:

If you want to take panoramic pictures, there are a bunch of apps that can help you do that.

If you look at the iTunes store, you’ll see a whole bunch of different app icons to choose from. Some are free, some you pay for once, and some you pay for extra features while using the app—so you can even find a free 360 camera app for iPhone if you’re looking to save on costs.

I have well researched most of the apps and chose 3 apps that can easily solve the issues that you will face using the in-built panorama of your iPhone.

Advantages of Using a Panoramic Camera App

Let’s have a look at some advantages you’ll have by using a panoramic camera app:

You’ll capture more of the scene in a single shot.
Panoramic camera apps will give you high-resolution images with impressive detail.
They’ll provide you with an experience with no visible stitching marks in the final panoramic image.
These panoramic camera apps are easy to use and require no professional photography skills.

Overall, a good panoramic camera app will save you from manual flaws and help you capture high-resolution panoramic photos with your iPhone quite easily.

Then, you can use them to show off a location or your property on Facebook or even via virtual tours on your website.

Top 3 Panoramic Camera Apps for iPhone

Here are three apps that I’ve chosen to provide in-depth information on quality & features to help you get 360 panoramic photos using an iPhone with the help of a 360 camera app for iPhone:

1. DMD Panorama

DMD Panorama is a pretty neat app and better than the iPhone’s panorama feature in many ways.

You can take full 360-degree panoramas with this app (both horizontal and vertical angles), which is awesome.

It uses the gyro and compass in your iPhone to help make sure your panorama turns out great.

So, if you want to take some great quality panoramic photos, this app is worth checking out!

Key Features of DMD Panorama:

Works with the front camera of the iPhone for panoramic selfies
Take panoramas with 3 different Exposure settings
Up to 100MP panoramas
The ultra-wide lens on the newest phones captures panoramas with floors and ceilings

Notes : In DMD panaroma app, selfie panorama mode unlocks after you capture and save 10 regular panoramas.

I have read all the reviews of DMD panorama users that I got and summed up their feedback here below:

App Link: Panorama 360 for iPhone.

3. Bimostitch

With Bimostitch, You can combine different photos to make one big panoramic image that looks perfect.

Now to mention that this is not a 360 panorama capturing app but a panorama stitching app. But I had to keep this on the list because this stitching is a very important aspect of 360 panorama images and in iPhone, this is one of the best apps you can find for that.

It won’t take up much space on your device and the panoramas will be super clear. You can make panoramas on the go, like when you’re on a trip, and you don’t need to be connected to the internet.

Bimostitch Panorama Stitcher has been downloaded 570 thousand times.

You don’t even need any fancy equipment or sensors to use this app. Whether you’re a pro or just starting, this app is perfect for making great panoramic photos.

Feedback From Bimostitch User’s:

Though it’s not an image-capturing app but rather a stitching app, I got the highest positive reviews on this app. I summed up the positive reviews in 4 points.

In regards to negative reviews, I only got 1. Take a look:

Panoramic Camera App for iPhone - Bimostitch

Creative Ways To Use Panorama Images

Panorama images aren’t just stunning—they’re incredibly versatile. Here are some creative, actionable ways to use them:

1. Create Virtual Tours for Websites

Transform your panorama images into immersive virtual tours. If you’re a realtor, use them to showcase properties. As a resort owner, highlight your rooms, amenities, or scenic views. Tools like WP VR or Kuula can help you upload your panoramic shots and turn them into interactive experiences that visitors can explore from any device.

2. Design Eye-Catching Social Media Posts

Panoramic images stand out on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. You can upload them as scrollable photos or use third-party tools to convert them into engaging videos or carousels. Think of it as a way to grab your audience’s attention while telling a story.

3. Use Panoramas in Presentations

If you’re preparing a pitch or a creative presentation, panoramic images can serve as impactful visuals. For example, a tourism business could embed panoramic views of destinations into their slides to wow the audience.

4. Personalize Travel Albums

Want your travel photos to feel more immersive? Use panorama shots to capture breathtaking landscapes or cityscapes. Instead of flipping through flat photos, you’ll feel like you’re revisiting the entire scene. Print them as fold-out albums or large wall posters for an extra wow factor.

5. Create 3D-Printed Keepsakes

Panoramas can be converted into unique 3D models or keepsakes. Some services let you use panoramic shots to create printed snow globes, crystal engravings, or even 3D postcards.

6. Plan and Share Home Renovations

If you’re remodeling, take panoramic photos of each room before and after. Share these with your contractor to ensure they understand your vision or use them to inspire others when you post your home transformation online.

7. Capture Before-and-After Shots

If you’re in a creative field like landscaping, architecture, or event planning, panoramic photos are perfect for showing transformations. A side-by-side comparison of panoramic shots can be a compelling way to market your services.

Generate Facebook Product Feed For Woocommerce – A Complete Guide [2024]

Post author By Samiha Nawar Tarin
Post date September 6, 2024
No Comments on Generate Facebook Product Feed For Woocommerce – A Complete Guide [2024]

Facebook is the third most visited site in the whole world right now!

More than one-third of the people who use Facebook shop there too.

Why? Here’s the answer-

Ads and posts in Facebook feeds come automatically when people randomly scroll to spend time.

And, if anyone clicks on a certain product suppose I clicked on a bag.

Facebook will automatically suggest all the online bag stores near me in my Facebook feed.

So, If you have an online store using WooCommerce, you must pay attention to Facebook.

With much less effort you can get sales instantly.

You can set up a whole store on Facebook, run ads that change based on who’s looking at them, and even list your products on Facebook Marketplace.

Facebook has many cool features that can help you sell your products without you doing ALMOST NOTHING.

All you need to do is create a Facebook product feed for WooCommerce. [We have shown below the easiest steps]

Before going into the process, let’s gather some knowledge about the WooCommerce Facebook feed :

What is WooCommerce Facebook Product Feed?

WooCommerce Facebook Product Feed is like a file that has all the important info about the stuff you’re selling on your online store in the Facebook marketplace or shop.

You can use this file to show your products on Facebook in real-time.

Facebook Marketplace makes it easy for businesses that sell directly to customers to promote their products.

Here are some important things about Facebook Marketplace:

You can make catalogs of your products.
Reach more people who might want to buy your stuff.
Connect your online store data with Facebook.
Show ads that change based on what people like.
Let people buy your products right on Facebook.

One great thing about Facebook Marketplace is that you don’t need to be a tech expert to set up your store.

With the RIGHT TOOL to make WooCommerce Facebook Product Feeds, you can easily connect your online store with Facebook Marketplace.

You need to create a catalog on Meta Commerce Manager and use one single Facebook catalog feed to list your products on both platforms.

Before going deep into these, let’s know some requirements you need to create your Woocommerce Facebook product feed.

Facebook Product Feed Requirements

Different channels have their own rules for what information you need to include about your products.

These rules are called product feed guidelines. Attributes are the specific details about your products that you need to include in your product feed.

For example, when you’re creating a product feed for Facebook, you’ll need to include things like the title, availability, price, and category of each product. These details are called attributes.

Here are some examples of the attributes you’ll need to include in your Facebook product feed:

ID
Titel
Beschrijving
Availability
Voorwaarde
Prijs
Link
Image link
Brand, MPN, or GTIN (include at least one)

Each platform on Meta, like Instagram Shop or Facebook Marketplace, may have slightly different requirements for attributes.

Make sure you check the specific guidelines for each platform before creating your product feed.

Now that you know what attributes are, let’s dive into how to create a product feed for Facebook.

Creating a Facebook Product Feed Using The Product Feed Manager

Remember when we talked about how to make a list of all your products for Facebook?

Well, you can do it by copying and pasting some important details into an Excel file. Then, you just add in all your product info underneath.

But what if you change your products a lot, like adding new ones or changing prices?

You’ll need to update your list every time you make a change. To remove this hassle you must use a product feed plugin.

I am going to use Product Feed Manager For Woocommerce to create a Facebook product feed.

This awesome WooCommerce plugin helps you connect your products to Facebook easily and quickly, so you can spend less time worrying about it and more time making sales. You can create Facebook product feed with 3 SIMPLE STEPS.

Create WooCommerce Facebook Product Feed in 3 steps

So, now I will go through step by step and create a Facebook product feed.

Generate WooCommerce Facebook product feeds

First, you need to generate a Woocommerce Facebook product feed.

Go to your WordPress dashboard and install the Product Feed Manager For Woocommerce. Then activate the plugin and set the license key.

Step 1: Create a new feed for Facebook

Now, go to the left panel, and click on the plugin. Next, look for the Add New Feed button and give it a click.

This will bring you to the feed creation page :

Now, here’s what you need to do:

i. At the top, you’ll see a spot to give your feed a title. Go ahead and name your feed.

Add New Feed in PFM Woocommerce Facebook product feed

I’ve named my feed “ Facebook feed for Rextheme”

ii. Just below the title, you’ll find a dropdown menu to choose your preferred merchant. Click on Select Your merchant option.

Click on the Feed Merchant dropdown button and pick your favorite merchant from the list or search for them in the box.

As you scroll, you will find the Facebook catalog option. Click on it and then it’s time to choose your feed types.

You will get 2 feed types :

Woocommerce Facebook product feed feed type

XML: A text file format that uses extensible markup language.
CSV: A text file format that uses commas to separate values, and newlines to separate records.

Once you’ve selected your merchant, all the necessary attributes will pop up below.

Step 2: Mapping Facebook Attributes

Now you gotta connect your WooCommerce Product Fields with Facebook attributes. The plugin will do most of the work for you by matching up the right fields.

But if you want to get fancy and customize things even more, you can use the drop-down menu to manually connect the fields yourself.

Step 3: Mapping WooCommerce Categories with Facebook categories

So once you’re selected you will see all the record attributes will be listed below :

You’ll also find the attributes are already configured.

what you have to do is assign any unmapped attribute with the right product data now for Facebook.

You will see two unmapped attributes the first one is manufacturer or brand

Now Facebook requires you to submit either a brand name or GTL or MPM so if you have any brand value saved in your Woocommerce store.

you can simply select this option from this drop-down menu but if you’re the sole manufacturer you don’t need to change it as it is already set as static.

Now select the edit button on the left.

Then you can provide your company name from here :

Then click the correct mark and you will be saved.

Alright, now you have to set the Google product category.

If you scroll down you will find you will get the Google Product Category field :

Now, fill out all the other sections and be ready to share your feed with the world.

Then go back up to the top of the page and hit the Publish button to make your feed live.

But wait, it’s not quite finished yet!

Next up, it’s time to configure the Google Product Category.

Applying Category Mapping :

Once you’ve set up a category mapping rule, you can make it work when you’re creating a new feed by picking the category mapper you made under “Value for an attribute.”

First, make sure you remember the name of the Mapper you saved.

In this case, we have saved it as Feed Category Mapping.

Click on the “Assigned Values” option for the Google Product Category attribute. Scroll down and you’ll find the Mapper you created.

Choose the mapper you need. For Google Shopping, you have to use it as the value for the Google Product Category attribute.

Next, it’s time to publish the feed. Go back to the top, see on the right panel, and click on the “Publish” button.

Pubish WooCommerce Facebook Product Feed

Now, when you update the feed, you’ll see the value of the attribute that will use the mapped value based on the category you assigned to the product.

That’s it! Now you can go ahead and use it to create a perfect product feed for Facebook.

Laatste gedachten

When you start promoting your WooCommerce store’s products on Facebook Marketplace, it makes it easier for people to find and buy your stuff.

Since most people already use Facebook, they’ll feel right at home browsing your products on Facebook Marketplace.

Plus, you can chat with customers in real-time using Messenger and the comment section. That means you can increase customer engagement with your store.

All you need to pick the right plugin and start generating your Woocommerce Facebook product feed. If you don’t want to research plugins, you can simply go for the most reliable plugin Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce.

WooCommerce Shipping Setup – Guide To Follow [2024]

Post author By C S Sultan
Post date August 30, 2024
2 Comments on WooCommerce Shipping Setup – Guide To Follow [2024]

As a Woocommerce owner, you might often be scared that your potential customer will abandon their almost-buying cart.

One of the reasons for abandoning your cart may be unclear shipping methods and payment sections.

WooCommerce Shipping settings are often confusing because there are plenty of options in the WooCommerce Dashboard.

So, in this article, I focused on making things as simple as possible for you when setting up the WooCommerce Shipping.

I gave proper directions for every step and used several pictures to let you follow the steps with your dashboard [EASILY].

Follow all the steps properly and your WooCommerce shipping settings will be ready.

So let’s begin.

WooCommerce Shipping Setup (Basic Steps)

WooCommerce Shipping is a feature that allows you to control shipping options.

WooCommerce Shipping consists of basic three options. You can say these are the foundation-setting options that you must set.

Here are these 3 options :

Verzendklasse
Shipping Zone
Shipping Method

I’ll go over them one by one :

Create WooCommerce Shipping Classes

In this section, you will learn how to create shipping classes :

Stap 1

First, Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping

You’ll see four options: Shipping Zones, Shipping Settings, Classes, and Local Pickup.

Notice the blue line under the panel, you will find the option “Classes“

Stap 2

After clicking on Add Shipping Classes, you will see a page as follows :

You will need to enter the following details:

Shipping Class: what kind of shipping approach do you want? For example: if you want free shipping, you must write free shipping. (This is mandatory).

Slug: A slug is created based on your shipping classes in your database. In most cases, you won’t need them unless you are working with several shipping classes. If you don’t provide a slug name, it will be created automatically.

Description: It is a good practice to provide a brief description of your shipping classes; the specific nature of products that put them under the same class, etc. This is completely optional.

Step 3

Once you provide the information, click on Save.

In my case, the shipping class looks like this:

You can create as many shipping classes as you want.

Then assign products to your shipping classes. The next step is to create your desired shipping zone.

Create WooCommerce Shipping Zones

Your shipping zone specifies the set of regions you are willing to ship your products to.

You can set multiple shipping regions based on the name, country/province, postal codes, etc.

You can also set different shipping rates for different regions based on the shipping methods available within this option.

P.S: When you set regions, users only from those regions will see your shipping options.

Now let’s learn how to create a new shipping zone :

Stap 1

On your dashboard go to WooCommerce > Settings and on the page, click on Shipping

Stap 2

Under Shipping, you will get 3 options. Click on the Shipping Zones option.

Stap 3

As you can see, To create one, click on Add zone.

Step 4

In the first option, you will see the zone name. Fill the box accordingly.

When you select a zone region on the box, all the regions under that zone will be previewed in the list. You will be able to select multiple regions among them.

In my case, the box looks like this.

Click on Save Changes to save your newly created shipping zone.

You are done with creating a Shipping Zone.

Then you need to select “Add Shipping Method” to Free Shipping or Flat Rate.

Which I am now going to discuss elaborately on how you can set up shipping methods :

Set Up A WooCommerce Shipping Method [Manual]

So, There are 3 types of shipping methods you can go for :

i. Free Shipping
ii. Flat Shipping
iii. Local shipping

First I will guide you with free shipping.

Then I will give you an overview of the other two WooCommerce shipping methods.

So let’s go ahead :

i. Free Shipping Method

If you want to give your customers shipping free of charge then you need to set up a free shipping method.

So, now go to the WooCommerce settings option. Then select the button Shipping< Add Zone

As you scroll down you will see the option shipping methods on the left side :

On the right panel, you will see a blue button labeled “Add shipping Method”

As you click on the button this list will come up :

Here, you will see a 2 option. select Free Shipping and click on the Continue button.

This is what the Free shipping Settings look like:

As you can see, first you have to put a name on it and then fill out the requirements.

You have to enter the following information:

1. Title:

This is the name of your shipping method. The name you set here is what users will see while checking out.

You can set the title from Free shipping to anything you want (for example, ‘No shipping fee’) but the method of shipment will remain the same.

2. Free shipping requirements :

You can either choose to give free shipping without any condition, or you can choose from 4 conditions to make free shipping applicable:

A valid free shipping coupon: The customer has to have a coupon to get free shipping
A minimum order amount: The customer has to order that’s worth a certain amount or more to get free shipping
A minimum order amount or a coupon: Customer can have either a free shipping coupon or a certain target amount worth of the order; any one of them will avail of free shipping
A minimum order amount AND a coupon: The customer needs to have a free shipping coupon and order a certain amount worth of order; both have to be achieved to avail of the free shipping option
Minimum order amount: In case you set the condition above to have a minimum order amount (i.e. you chose one of the last three options for “Free shipping requires“.

I will select the “No requirement” option.

Now, in the shipping method box, free shipping has been added. Now, look at the right side of the dashboard, you will find the option to edit.

Click on Edit and it will take you to the free shipping settings. Update any changes you want.

Your Free shipping method is set up.

The next shipping method is flat rate shipping :

ii. Flat Rate Shipping Method

Flat-rate shipping charges a fixed rate for shipping.

To set this method up, follow the steps below :

To access Flat Rate Settings, Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones > Shipping method.

Then choose the option flat rate and click on the button Continue.

It will take you to the flat rate settings.

In the Flat Rate Settings, you have to enter your estimated cost, shipping class cost, and some other relevant information accordingly.

Terms you need to know :

Method Title: This is the name of your shipping method. The name you set here is what users will see while checking out. You can set the title from Flat Rate to anything you want (for example, ‘Flat shipping fee’) but the method of shipment will remain the same.

Tax status: Choose whether shipping products are taxable or not.

Cost: It is the base cost you set, that adds up as the initial flat rate cost. It is charged for all the products even if they don’t fall in any specific class.

Shipping Class Cost: Set an additional cost you want to imply on your products that fall under certain shipping classes. For example, I have set my shipping class cost to 5 for the class ‘Heavy’. Anyone who is buying an item that falls under the class ‘Heavy’, will be charged an additional $5, along with the flat rate cost.

No Shipping Class Cost: Set up your shipping rates for the products that fall under no specific classes. I set it up as 2. Anyone who is buying an item that falls into no shipping classes will get an extra charge of $2 along with the flat rate cost.

Calculation Type: When you have multiple shipping classes, you can choose the types of calculation you want to imply with your shipping classes cost. In the Flat rate method, you will have two ways to do that: Per Class & Per Order

After you fill up all box, click on the button “Create & Save“

Now let’s look at the Local pickup shipping method.

iii. Local Pickup Shipping Method

Go to Shipping zone> shipping method> add shipping method> local shipping

This is what the Local pickup Settings look like :

Now click on the option “Enable local pickup”.

Scroll down and tick on the label line “Add a price for customers who choose local pickup”.

By default, the local pickup shipping method is free. but if you can charge an extra fee for local pickup you can assign it here. Usually, store owners do not charge anything extra, but it is an option you can use.

Tax status: Here, you have the option to choose between Taxable or None.

It is by default assigned as Taxable, which means when using a local pickup, store base taxes will apply regardless of customer address.

This is the ideal choice for most store owners, however, you can choose not to charge for taxes and select Non-Taxable instead.

Now, scroll down and you will see the option to pick locations. On the left side, you will see the button “Add pickup location“

As you click, you see this page with these options :

Once these are inputted, click on the Save Changes button, and your Local pickup shipping method is set up.

How to Calculate Shipping Rates & fees

There are two calculation types available :

Per Class

For any order that will include products in multiple classes, the shipping class cost for each of those classes will be added on top of the flat rates.

Also if the order includes products with no particular class, then the cost for no shipping class will be present as well.

For instance, let’s assume that I have another shipping class named ‘Light’ and I assigned a shipping class cost of $3 to it.

Now, let’s say a buyer ordered 4 products, out of which two products fall under the class ‘Heavy’, one product falls under the class ‘Light’ and another falls under the no shipping class.

Then the total shipping cost will include a $2 charge for no shipping class cost, a $5 charge for the shipping class cost of ‘Heavy’, and a $3 charge for the shipping class cost of ‘Light’, on top of the flat rate cost of $5. So the total shipping cost will add up to $15.

Per Order

In this case, for any orders that will include products from multiple classes, the shipping class cost that is the highest among these classes will be added on top of the flat rate cost. Suppose, I have another shipping class named ‘Light’ and I assigned a shipping class cost of $3 to it.

Now, let’s say a buyer ordered 4 products, out of which two products fall under the class ‘Heavy’, one product falls under the class ‘Light’ and another falls under the no shipping class.

Here, among the three, the highest shipping class cost is $5. Hence, only $5 will be added on top of the flat rate cost, the other two shipping class costs will be ignored. Therefore, the total shipping cost will add up to $10.

Once these are inputted, click on the Save changes button, and your Flat rate shipping method is set up.

Set Up Payment Methods

In the WordPress dashboard, navigate to and click on the Payments tab within the WooCommerce > Settings menu.

You can choose from these options :

Direct bank transfer: Take payments in person via BACS. More commonly known as direct bank/wire transfer.

Check payments: Take payments in person via checks. This offline gateway can also be useful to test purchases.

Cash on delivery: Have your customers pay with cash (or by other means) upon delivery.

Click on the button manage, you will get the settings page of any option :

As you can see here the setting page of cash on delivery. Fill up accordingly with your credentials. Clock on save changes. Your payment setup is done.

Set Up Weight-based Shipping [Additional]

Some might think configuring WooCommerce shipping based on weight would be a hard task.

When you know the RIGHT process, it’s very simple.

Let us walk you through all the steps.

How to Turn On WooCommerce weight-based shipping class

Jump to WooCommerce >> Settings >> Shipping and add a shipping class.

I will name this WooCommerce weight-based shipping class:

Now, in the same way, create other classes for other weight ranges.

Next, you have to assign the classes to the products according to their weight categories.

For example, I have a product that is under kg, so I would send it to under the Up to kg class.

Looks like a time-consuming task, right? You can also bulk assign WooCommerce weight-based shipping classes.

Go to All Products and filter your products according to your requirements. Select all of them and click the Quick Edit button.

On the Quick Edit window, assign the appropriate class and update.

Finally, you need to create or edit a flat shipping method. Go to your designated shipping zone and add/edit the flat rate method.

Scroll down the flat rate window, and you will find all the classes you created.

Finally, set your rates for every class.

Integrate shipping with An Advanced Shipping Plugin

As you see in WooCommerce, you might not get every option you need.

You can integrate a shipping plugin into your WooCommerce. I am showing you a plugin named “Advanced Shipping”

First, install and activate the plugin.

Now go to the Shipping zone > Shipping method>Advanced shipping.

And now see how easy it is now to set up your shipping process. You will get all the options under one panel.

You don’t have to go back and forth to different pages to set up separately.

Laatste gedachten

A well-defined shipping strategy can make your shipping process smooth.

In this guide, I provided a step-by-step guide for setting up shipping in WooCommerce.

I added how you can make the process easy with the Advanced shipping plugin.

By following the steps outlined and carefully considering your customer’s need, you can establish both a user-friendly and sale-focused shipping system.

No Comments on Setup WooCommerce Free Shipping: 4 Proven Methods [With Practical Tips]

Free shipping eats into your profits- You might hear this statement from many!

But it’s not true.

Offering free shipping can be a game-changer for your business.

How?

Free shipping can motivate your customers to complete their purchases. It will also minimize cart abandonment on a large scale.

According to a 2016 research by Walker Sands, free shipping motivates 9 out of 10 users to shop online more frequently.

As a result, your SALES WILL BE DOUBLE!

All you have to do is apply the correct methods of free shipping to avoid any loss.

In this article, I will show you how you can apply 4 PROVEN FREE SHIPPING METHODS that works. Also with practical tips.

Ways To Offer WooCommerce Free Shipping Without Losing Money

Limited locations are one of the ways to maintain profitability while offering free shipping.

You can offer free shipping to locations that are close to your distribution center or your local retail outlet.

Offer free shipping on your high-end products.

This can help you cover the shipping cost as your consumers spend more money buying high-end products.

You can also offer free shipping in stock clearance sales.

With this strategy, those older items that are lying in your store become way more attractive, with free delivery on top.

not only ways but timing is very important in terms of offering free shipping.

Let’s go through it :

Be Cautious About Timing of Offering WooCommerce Free Shipping

In terms of timing, you can’t just offer free shipping out of nowhere.

Short-term campaigns like seasonal sales, new product releases, and other promotional events are already planned properly to get profit from sales. So, you can apply free shipping in these short-term campaigns.

You can use free shipping as a loss leader.

The concept of a loss leader can be applied to free shipping as well.

For example, if you have an eCommerce business with a subscription model, offering free shipping on the first order may increase conversions, even though you may be absorbing the cost of shipping.

No Comments on What Are The Best 360 Panoramic Cameras You Can Buy [2024]

In 2024, visually consumed information will be highly accepted as people want to know it all without investing a much longer time.

Whether you are a traveler, resort owner, or realtor,

your consumer list won’t be satisfied if your site provides images or videos with a conventional 2D camera.

For a proper virtual tour of a home, place, or resort with a photo-first model, you need to use a high-quality 360 camera.

With that kept in mind, here’s my top-picked suggestion list of 360 cameras for 2024.

Laten we beginnen.

Consideration Points Before Purchasing A 360 Panoramic Camera

Key Factors of 360 Panoramic Cameras you can buy

Before going to the list, go through these key factors you need to focus on while buying a 360 camera.

1. Dynamic Range Ability:

Capturing the full 360 angle of the scene is highly important in 360 photography.

Without a high dynamic range in the camera you are using, you will fail terribly in terms of the sharpness of your product.

2. Lens Quality:

In terms of lens, You should go for a single-lens mode camera.

A 4k single-lens mode camera would be the best as you will need very little editing time to give finishing to your images.

3. Easy & fast workflow :

You need to pick up a camera that speeds up the entire action cam workflow, from stabilizing, reframing, and editing to transferring files with an easy user interface.

4. Battery Life:

You must not want any overheating and crash issues with your camera.

Since panoramic cameras are power-hungry, choose one with a long battery life.

You should consider cameras with removable batteries or the ability to charge via USB, so you can keep the camera charged on the go.

5. Durability:

If you plan to take your panoramic camera on outdoor adventures or use it in harsh environments, look for models that are built to withstand the elements.

Weather sealing, rugged construction, and shock resistance are the features that you should consider.

6. Aligned with your need :

There are many amazing 360 cameras but every camera has its own unique value.

Some are really good at night mode, while others can tolerate the hot weather of sunny days.

Now considering all these, let’s have a look at the best 5 Panoramic cameras for you.

How To Create WooCommerce Custom Product Attributes [2024]

4 Comments on How To Create WooCommerce Custom Product Attributes [2024]

Amidst all the features of Woocommerce, the custom product attribute is the most simple yet effective one.

If you have various products with different features, you must learn how to create custom product attributes.

With custom product attributes you can get rid of disorganized listings, ineffective searches, and unclear descriptions that make it difficult for your customers to navigate your site

Unlike global product attributes, a custom attribute is used to define a feature of a specific product; it does not apply to most other products.

Today, you will get a step-by-step guide on how you can add Custom Product Attributes to your WooCommerce products easily.

Dus laten we beginnen.

How To Create And Use A WooCommerce Custom Product Attribute

A custom product attribute has to be created while adding/editing a product, from within the Product Data section.

Once you follow the steps below, you will then be able to use custom product attributes easily.

Step 1 – Add a New Product or Edit an Existing Item

Go to ‘Products’ from the left menu bar. You can add either a new item or edit an existing one.

1. Edit or Create a Product and scroll down to the Product Data Section.

Here, choose the product type (for example Simple product or Variable Product).

Now, fill out the basic required data in the General, Inventory, Shipping, and Linked Products menus.

Step 2 – Add the Custom Product Attribute

Go to the Attributes menu.

Here, you can see there is a dropdown menu that says Custom product attribute and an ‘Add’ button beside it.

Click on the ‘Add’ button.

Step 3 – Complete the Custom Product Attribute Details

You will see that a custom attribute section has been created.

The ‘Name’ field refers to the Attribute name, and the ‘Value(s)’ field refers to the Attribute terms.

Fill out the required values as per your requirements.

Let’s say I am selling a T-shirt that has both Long sleeves and short sleeves. So let’s name it ‘Sleeves’.

For the ‘Value(s)’, you have to add values with a ‘|’ separator. So let’s add the terms ‘Long|Short’.

En aan de linkerkant ziet u de optie "Zichtbaar op de productpagina". Dat is standaard aangevinkt, wat betekent dat deze attribuutterm wordt weergegeven op de productpagina.

If it’s a variable product, then you may wish to use these attribute terms to create variants. In that case, you can mark the check box that says used for variations (right above the Save Attribute button), and later, generate variants from the Variations tab on the left side.

Then click on the “Save” attribute button and this attribute will be saved for this product.

Dus op basis van uw thema zal dit attribuut worden weergegeven op de productpagina.

When Should You Use Custom Product Attributes

As mentioned earlier, a custom product attribute can be created when you edit or add a product in the product data section.

You should use the custom product attribute when you want to define a feature for a product that is applicable to that product only.

For example,

if you are selling ‘Organic Tea’ in bulk, you might want to sell them in packs of 10 Sachets, 20 Sachets, and 50 Sachets per order. However, this sort of custom order package might not apply to other products in your WooCommerce store.

Here’s another example :

In this case, you should use a custom product attribute to define this feature, and possibly use it for WooCommerce product variations.

So you should create and use custom product attributes when you want to define a feature that applies to a particular product only.

This will save you time from creating a global attribute separately and help optimize the use of server resources.

If you are planning to promote on Google Shopping, you should be aware of this following fact :

Google Shopping requires additional product attributes for items in a few industry-based categories:

Grootte
Kleur
Patroon
Materiaal
Age group
Geslacht

WooCommerce doesn’t have default fields for these attributes.

However, Product Feed Manager allows you to add custom fields to your WooCommerce products to include this important information for Google Shopping.

You can go through this video tutorial to learn more :

Conclusie

As you can see, using a custom product attribute is often more convenient, and hopefully, this guide was easy to follow.
