On Monday, February 17, we’ll discuss the process of setting up an e-commerce system on WordPress, focusing on WooCommerce and FoxyShop + FoxyCart, from start to selling.
With so many options available for e-commerce, these tools simplify the process. Kenneth White of sprclldr will walk us through the process. He’ll cover:
Ecommerce options and set-up are frequent sources of questions at our monthly WordPress Nashville MeetUps and we want to focus on this single topic for one session.
WooCommerce is a go-to platform for many local WordPress developers and FoxyCart claims Nashville as one of its hometowns – one cofounder lives here. FoxyCart (FoxyShop is the WordPress plugin) is especially awesome because it features easy styling and allows for checkout of multiple product types, including subscriptions and donations, all during the same transaction.
WordPress Nashville kicks off 2014 on Monday, January 20, with an informal Question-and-Answer MeetUp featuring Nashville WordPress developers and users tackling whatever audience members throw at them.
Randy Hicks of WPEdu, Liz Fulghum of NoSleepForSheep, Ross Jones of 2 the Top Design, Judy Wilson of Site Shack Design, Noe Lopez of Ah So Designs and Pamela Coyle of Content that Connects will be among those answering questions. This MeetUp is appropriate for people with all levels of WordPress experience – beginners, intermediate users and developers.
Depending on interest and attendance, we can break the space into two sections with separate Q&A interactions for user and developers.
A Q&A is a great way to build the Greater Nashville WordPress community, meet new people and get a better understanding of who is doing what with WordPress. (The February MeetUp will focus on working with Woo Commerce).
RSVP through the WordPress Nashville MeetUp page.
Details:
1/20/2014 6:30 to 8 p.m.
