WooCommerce is a popular and powerful plugin that allows you to create and manage an online store using WordPress. WooCommerce lets you sell physical and digital products, offer different payment and shipping options, and customize your store’s appearance and functionality. In this tutorial, we will show you how to configure the products settings for WooCommerce, which include the shop page, the inventory, and the downloadable products options. To configure the products settings for WooCommerce, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WordPress site as an administrator.
  2. Go to WooCommerce > Settings in the left sidebar menu.
  3. In the Settings screen, click on the Products tab at the top.
  4. In the Products tab, you will see three sub-tabs: GeneralInventory, and Downloadable products.
  5. In the General sub-tab, you can set up the shop page, the measurements, and the reviews for your store. The shop page is where your products are displayed to your customers. You can select an existing page or create a new one for your shop page. The measurements are the units of measurement for your product dimensions and weights. You can choose from various options such as centimeters, inches, kilograms, pounds, etc. The reviews are the feedback that your customers can leave on your product pages. You can enable or disable reviews, ratings, and verified owner badges for your products.
  6. In the Inventory sub-tab, you can manage the stock levels and notifications for your products. You can enable or disable stock management for your store, which allows you to track the quantity of each product in stock and automatically mark them as out of stock when they run out. You can also set a low stock threshold and a notification email recipient for when your products are running low on stock. You can also enable or disable stock display on your product pages, which shows how many units of each product are available or whether they are in stock or out of stock.
  7. In the Downloadable products sub-tab, you can configure the settings for your digital products that customers can download after purchase. You can choose the file download method, which determines how your files are delivered to your customers. You can choose from three options: Force downloads, X-Accel-Redirect/X-Sendfile, or Redirect only. You can also set a download limit and a download expiry for each product, which limits how many times and how long customers can access their downloads. You can also enable or disable granting access to downloadable products after payment, which allows customers to download their files before the order is completed.
  8. When you are done with configuring the products settings for WooCommerce, click on the Save changes button at the bottom of the screen.
