In this tutorial for selling services, we’ll explain how to sell services using WooCommerce.<\/p>\n

WooCommerce is the world’s leading eCommerce plugin, powering over 44% of every single online store. When you think about a WordPress eCommerce module, such as WooCommerce, you most likely envision selling physical or digital items. While this is true, WooCommerce also supports virtual products. This fact makes it ideal to sell services using WooCommerce.<\/p>\n

Even better, WooCommerce is a free WordPress plugin. While there are some paid extensions, that will assist you with selling services more efficiently; the core eCommerce plugin is free to use.<\/p>\n

How to sell services online with WooCommerce?<\/h2>\n

A service is defined as “The activity of helping someone or doing work for somebody.” Therefore, services are work that you perform physically for an individual or association. Selling services differs from selling products since you carry them out manually to every client. You can fulfill the services in person, or on the web. The key point is that you (or your representatives\/temporary workers) will be personally responsible for performing services. A service can’t be completely automated, because when this happens, then it turns into a product.<\/p>\n

You can sell services utilizing a WooCommerce store by separating the sales and the provision of the service. Services can be offered similarly to products. The difference is that once a client has ordered a service on the web, you will do work for them physically as opposed to sending them an item. So you sell the services on the web and complete it physically afterward.<\/p>\n

Here is how it works:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. First, the client visits your WooCommerce Store and sees a list of offered services. The services may be displayed as a basic list of at least one service, or you may give variation choices. You may sell on-time services at a fixed cost or charge continuously. It\u2019s a good idea to consider creating repeating income by offering subscriptions to your services.<\/li>\n
  2. Second, the client orders the services online. The client picks any options and adds the item to the shopping cart. Then they view the cart and checkout and proceed with paying online with a credit\/charge card or PayPal. The client gets a ‘Thank you for your order email, and you get an email with the order information.<\/li>\n
  3. Finally, you contact the client to arrange when to perform the service. You can arrange the details outside of your WooCommerce store so it will fit suitably into your typical working schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
