In this article from the TripleZero iT knowledge base we explain: How do I add a webshop to WordPress with WooCommerce?. We describe the purpose, the preparation and a clear method that you can follow step by step.
This manual is written for customers of TripleZero iT and assumes common configurations on shared hosting, reseller environments and control panels such as DirectAdmin, CyberPanel and Plesk.
What you need
- Access to the customer panel or the TripleZero iT customer panel.
- Your domain name and any login/mailbox details.
- A current browser and, where applicable, FTP/SSH access.
- Preferably a recent backup before making structural changes.
Step-by-step approach
- Log in to the appropriate panel at TripleZero iT and select the domain or account affected by the change.
- Check that you have the correct environment (production vs. test) and note the current settings.
- Perform the action that corresponds to “How do I add a webshop to WordPress with WooCommerce?”. Work calmly and do not change multiple critical options at the same time.
- Save changes and test the result: website, email or DNS — depending on the subject.
- Document what you changed so you can roll back later or help support more quickly.
Deeper explanation
The topic “How do I add a webshop to WordPress with WooCommerce?” often affects multiple layers: DNS, web server, mail server, application (e.g. WordPress) and account limits. Problems usually arise when one layer is changed without checking the others.
For TripleZero iT, we recommend first verifying that DNS points to the correct name servers, then checking control panel settings, and only then changing application settings (plugins, themes, .htaccess).
WordPress-specific points of interest
Temporarily disable caching when debugging, work with a staging copy where possible, and note plugin/theme versions before updates.
After recovery: update core, themes and plugins, check permalinks and force HTTPS if SSL is active.
WordPress extensions
Preferably install plugins from the official repository or reliable vendors. Test for staging, make a backup and check forms, checkout and caching after activation.
For SEO, cookies (GDPR) and analytics: only place tracking after consent where required by law, and avoid overlapping SEO plugins.
Post-completion checklist
- Does the website work over HTTP and HTTPS without certificate errors?
- Are test emails delivered and not marked as spam?
- Are limits (disk, inodes, bandwidth) still within the package limits?
- Are there no unintentional redirects, firewall blocks or PHP errors in the logs?
Common bottlenecks
- DNS propagation: changes are not immediately visible everywhere.
- Wrongly selected domain or user in a reseller environment.
- Cache (browser, CDN, LiteSpeed/OpenLiteSpeed, WordPress plugins) showing old content.
- Missing permissions on directories or wrong document root.
