How To Create a WooCommerce Store. 

For designing your shop page to showcase your products online, there are some pre-requisites requirements:

  1. A WordPress Website
  2. WooCommerce
  3. Elementor
  4. AnyWhere Elementor Pro

After setting up your WordPress website, you need to add products sold on your e-store. Once done with adding the products and set up WooCommerce, you can proceed to design pages for your Shop section where all of the items are displayed inside a grid on every online site.

Now we will be designing our shop page.

Creating a WooCommerce Shop Page or Post Archive Template 

To create the shop page design, we need to create a block layout to render the Post Block widget on the archive template.

Step 1: Creating Block Layout   

Navigate to your WordPress admin dashboard and click on the AE Template>> Add New. Start with assigning a name to the template. Then, under the AnyWhere Elementor settings, you need to make some configurations, like selecting the Block Layout option under the Render Mode and typing in any Product posts as a Preview Post.

Edit the template in Elementor, start with adding a section, and then design the layout style for the blocks. Next, add the widgets to get dynamic content from the post, and once done with creating, Publish the block template.

Step 2: Creating Post Archive Template  

Now we have the block layout designed so we can move on with creating the Shop Archive Page.

To design the Shop Archive page, add another AE Template, configure the following settings, select the Post Type Archive option under the Render mode, and choose WooCommerce Products Archives as Post Archives.

Next, in the Elementor editor, add a section and showcase our products in a Grid manner; insert the Post Block widget of AnyWhere Elementor Pro(you can also use the Adv- Post Block widget).

After inserting the Post block into an Elementor section, it’s time to Configure the Post Blocks. First, in the Source option, choose Products, and then select the Block layout that we have created in the previous step. Next, do some other settings like adjusting the amount of space between Columns, enabling the pagination and adjusting its controls, and adding advanced filters to filter the products based on certain conditions.
